Power Setup of the Z9-PE-DEVKIT

The Z9-PE-DEVKIT is approved to operate with an input voltage range of +6 to
+30VDC.
FREEWAVE Recommends: All input power supply wires should be at least
20AWG wires. A dedicated power supply line is preferred. The power supply
used MUST provide more current than the amount of current drain listed in
the specifications for the product and voltage. (at least mA at 12V)
Warning! Use electrostatic discharge (ESD) protectors to protect the
radio from electric shock and provide filtered conditioned power with
over-voltage protection.
