of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V DC. This could cause a fire
or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polar-
ity when connecting to a power source. This could damage the
transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning
storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage
the transceiver. Always disconnect the power souce and antenna
before a storm.
R WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC
plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cut-
ting, the transceiver may be damaged.
