Warning Signs

2.2.1

Danger

Instruction

Operating personal should not remove RF output cable without turn off the power 
supply because the RF output can cause serious burns before the "Mismatch" 
protection is active.

Please disconnect the mains supply before opening to prevent potential hazard 
such as :

Electrical shock from power supply

Contact burns from the RF module and heatsink

Finger scratch due to the fan assembly on the RF module.

DANGER! Risk of electrical shocks

Throughout this manual, this symbol indicates the possibility of 
severe personal injury, loss of life or equipment damage if the 
instructions are not followed.

On the equipment, the symbol also implies a danger and alerts the 
user.
