& DANGER
&WARNING
&CAUTION
• Don't install the antenna on a rainy or windy day since it is dangerous.
• Don't touch the antenna during transmitting since it is dangerous.
• If there is a thunderstorm during operation, stop the operation immediately and remove the cable from
the transceiver. If that doesn't make it in time, don't touch the antenna and the cable. It may be
severely injured or die due to getting and electronic shock from a lightning strike.
• Don't drop the antenna, tools and attachment when installing the antenna in the height. Install the
antenna after assembling it on the ground.
• Install the antenna firmly not to fall down due to the strong wind. Even if falling down the antenna,
locate the antenna at the safe place where people and building are not inflicted injures.
• Don't attempt to install the antenna only by yourself. Installing the antenna alone on the roof may lead
you dangerous accident. Always ask your friends for help installing the antenna.
• Make sure to adjust the antenna before using it.
• Install the antenna as far away as possible from any obstacles to obtain its maximum performance.
• Keeping transmitting with high VSWR may cause the transceiver to be damaged. Stop transmitting
immediately and check the antenna.
• When transmitting, operate within the specification of the transmission power. It is a big burden on the
antenna on FT8 etc. Don't operate over the specification of the transmission power. The antenna may
be damaged.

    • Description 1. The RHM 12 can be operated on l .9/3.5MHz bands using the optional coils (not included). It is also possible to tune the emergency communication frequency (4650kHz) using the 3.5MHz optional coiL (Japan only) 2. It is easy to adjust the frequency by the adjustment position scale. 3.
  • Page 3 • How to ground (counter poise) This product needs ground for all bands (except for 440MHz). SWR will not be lower without ground. SWR meter shows lower SWR value in spite of lack of ground because high frequency current superimposes on the coaxial cable. Radio wave radiates from the coaxial cable. It may cause interference. Make sure to ground.
