S88-2

1. Getting started

The instructions will help you step by step with the safe and proper assembly of the kit and
installation and use of your s88 booster. Before you start to assemble the kit or put the s88
booster into operation, read this manual completely, especially the safety instructions and the
section on possible errors and their elimination. You will then know what you have to pay
attention to and thus avoid errors that sometimes can only be rectified with a lot of effort.
Keep the instructions in a safe place so that you can restore functionality later in the event of
any malfunctions. If you pass the s88 booster on to another person, also give the instructions
with it.
