Please read this safety information thoroughly before commissioning the device! Prolonged absence: In the event of prolonged
absence or thunderstorms, remove the mains plug of the device from the wall socket. Also disconnect the antenna connections to
avoid storm damage.

SM Electronic GmbH hereby declares that Article No. 39718 and 39748 complies with the basic requirements and other relevant regulations of
directives 89/336/EWG and 73/23/EWG. 

Cleaning: Remove the mains plug before cleaning the device. Use a
dry or damp cloth and make sure that no moisture penetrates the
device!
Objects in the device: Make sure that no objects can enter the
ventilation slots. There is risk of death through electric shock!
Repair: Repairs must be performed by qualified experts. In the event
of improper intervention by a third party, the warranty will be voided
and the safety of the device can no longer be guaranteed! Never open
the housing of the device yourself: Even when disconnected from the
mains, there is an acute risk of death through electric shock. Internal
components can be damaged if touched.
Place of installation: Place the device on a straight and even
surface. To protect the surface from being discoloured as a result of
the natural heat generated by the device, place the device on a
suitable underlay.

Adequate ventilation: The ventilation slots on the device must never
be covered. Ensure that the device has a clearance of at least 10 cm at
the sides and top, and that the heat can be dissipated upwards
unimpeded.
External influences: Never expose the device to moisture 
(e.g. condensation or splash water) or direct sunlight. Do not place the
device in the vicinity of heat sources, such as e.g. heaters or devices
that heat up.
Mains voltage: Use the equipment with the voltage specified on
the case only! Do not plug the equipment into the mains until all
connection and installation work has been completed.
Earthing: Antenna systems must always be earthed, paying heed to
the pertinent local and VDE regulations.
