IMPORTANT
• As a nature of this product, it generates a very high voltage to the antenna
element and other terminals up to several kilovolts.
For this, some countries apply the height restrictions of such devices for
installations. At any case install EDX-3 and elements in the way that a person or
pets can’t access and touch it.
• Modern vehicles/vessels are made of cutting-edge electronics technology.
Transmitting RF signals while driving/navigating may cause interferences to those
electronics devices risking accidents. Be sure to check the safety of operation
before driving/navigating.
Alinco does not reccomend transmission while driving a vehicle, and declines
any responsibility for any consequence RF intereference may cause.
