Selecting a location
Select a location for the transceiver that allows
adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold
or vibrations, and other electromagnetic sources.
The transceiver has a stand for desktop use.
Stand
CAUTION: NEVER
carry the transceiver by holding the
stand, dials, controls and so on. This may damage them.
Heat dissipation
Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television
interference (TVI), broadcast
interference (BCI) and other
problems, ground the transceiver
using the ground terminal [GND] on
the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy
gauge wire or strap to a long ground
rod. Make the distance between the
[GND] terminal and ground as short
as possible.
R
WARNING! NEVER
connect the [GND] terminal
to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could
cause an explosion or electric shock.
