Precautions for operation

l

The CAA-500 has its Impedance Bridge just inside the Output Connector. Never apply power from an
external transmitter to the CAA-500. Failure to follow this could cause damage to this product.

l

The external DC supply voltage must be between 8 to 16 Volts, and the current supplied must be at
least 250mA. Never apply DC voltages greater than 16 Volts, nor AC voltage of any kind. Our warranty
does not cover damage caused by the use of an improper power source.

l

When using AA batteries, the decimal point on the Frequency Counter will blink when the weak
batteries are weak. Change batteries as soon as it starts blinking, and change all batteries to improve
the battery shelf life.

Remove the batteries when not in use for extended periods of time

(*some rechargeable batteries, which have 1.2V rated voltage, are not appropriate for long-time continuous
operation).
