GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
This
symbol
is
marked

and
denotes
important
safety
operation
instructions.
Please
read
carefully
before
continuing.
This
equipment
is
suitable
for
a
wide
variety
of
scientific,
industrial,
laboratory
and
communication
applications
where
high
levels
of
electromagnetic
Radio
Frequency
(RF)
energy
are
required.
Therefore,
the
output
of
the
amplifier
must
be
terminated
to
an
appropriate
load,
such
as
a
high
power
attenuator,
dummy
load,
a
communication
or
radiation
antenna.
User
must
insure
that
radiated
energy
do
not
violate
regulatory
levels
of
electromagnetic
interference.
PROTECTIVE
GROUND
This
symbol
is
marked

ground
terminal.
This
amplifier
includes
protective
ground
terminal.
The
equipment
shouldn't
be
used
if
this
protection
is
impaired.
The
supplied
power
cord
must
