NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC
power supply that uses more than 16 V. This will ruin the
transceiver.
DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
DO NOT reverse the polarities of the power supply when
connecting the transceiver.
DO NOT apply an RF signal of more than 20 dBm (100mW)
to the antenna connector. This could damage the trans-
ceiver's front end.

the transceiver.
2. DO NOT open the transceiver until the transceiver is dis-
connected from its power source.
3. DO NOT force any of the variable components. Turn
them slowly and smoothly.
4. DO NOT short any circuits or electronic parts. An insulat-
ed turning tool MUST be used for all adjustments.
5. DO NOT keep power ON for a long time when the trans-
ceiver is defective.
6. DO NOT transmit power into a signal generator or a
sweep generator.
7. ALWAYS connect a 50 dB to 60 dB attenuator between
the transceiver and a deviation meter or spectrum ana-
lyzer when using such test equipment.

before connecting equipment to the transceiver.
