WARNING

:

 The installation, maintenance, and/or operation of this equipment could present

potentially unsafe conditions, including, but not limited to, electrical shock or improper voltage to
components. Improper operation could cause personal injury, death, or damage to property.

Read all safety instructions before operating the M-2911, and retain them for further reference. Follow all
operating and usage instructions, and make special note of the following safety symbols:

This sign warns that the area is connected to a dangerous high voltage, and you must
never touch it.

This sign means that you should refer to the corresponding section of the operation
manual for important information before proceeding.

Do not attempt to perform maintenance or service functions that are not described in the operating
instructions. Instead, refer all such service requirements to Beckwith Electric Co., Inc. Unit must be returned
for service in secure (preferably original) packaging. Shipping cost must be paid by user.

Only the antenna provided is authorized for use with the M-2911. If the antenna is lost or damaged, please
contact Beckwith Electric Co., Inc. to secure a replacement antenna.

This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency (RF). If it is not installed and used in
accordance with the operating instructions, it can cause harmful interference to communications. If this
equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, the user should try and correct the
interference by:

Reorienting or relocating the receiving/transmitting antenna

Increasing the separation between the equipment and the M-2911

Connecting the equipment into an outlet on a different circuit from the M-2911.

If these do not correct the interference, consult an experienced radio/television technician for assistance.
Correcting such interference is the responsibility of the user, not the manufacturer.
