Summary

Page 2 - PRECAUTION

R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER attach an antenna or internal antenna connector dur-ing transmission. This may result in an electricalshock or burn. R WARNING! NEVER carry the linear amplifier by yourself. At least two persons must carry the linearamplifier since it weights approx. 25 kg (55 lb). R WA...
