CAUTION
To avoid the danger of electric shock and malfunctions, do not expose the radio telescope (in particular the mount and the recei-
ver) to rain or moisture. The electronics are not waterproof so in case of bad weather conditions with rain, snow or similar, it is
required to keep the instrument closed and covered with a special waterproof cover.
Do not use the radio telescope in case of strong winds (above 25 km/h) to prevent unwanted movement of the antenna, dama-
ge to support system, handling equipment and antenna. If the wind speed exceeds 25 km/h, please keep the radio telescope
pointed towards the vertical (zenith) and enclosed in a special protective structure.
