    PRECAUTIONS To avoid malfunctions and damages, and to achieve full performance, please pay careful attention to the following matters: During transmission, the heat sink may reach a high temperature (approx. 50°C-80°C). Set the amplifier in a well- ventilated place. Do not place objects on top of the amplifier.
  • Page 12 Never connect the whip antenna of a handy-transceiver directly to the antenna connector of the amplifier unit using M-BNC converting connector etc. It may cause damage to the antenna due to insufficient power capacity. It may also damage the transceiver or the amplifier when strong RF signal intrusions occur.
