■ Selecting a location

Select a location for the transceiver that allows ade-
quate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or
vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna ele-
ments, radios and other electromagnetic sources.
The base of the transceiver has adjustable feet for
desktop use. Set the feet to one of two angles, to meet
your operating preference.

■ Grounding

To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, ground the transceiver using the GROUND ter-
minal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heaviest gauge wire or
strap to a long ground rod. Make the distance between
the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.
R WARNING! NEVER
minal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection
could cause an explosion or electric shock.
