SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
HIGH VOLTAGE WARNING
Dangerously high voltages are present within the Radar scanner unit. There are no internal
connections or adjustments necessary for installation. Only a qualified Radar service
technician should remove the cover. Technicians must exercise extreme care when
working inside the unit. Always remove power before removing the cover. Some capacitors
may take several minutes to discharge, even after switching off the Radar. Before touching
the magnetron or any high voltage components, ground them with a clip lead.
MICROWAVE RADIATION HAZARD
The microwave energy radiated by a Radar antenna is harmful to humans, especially to
one’s eyes. Never look directly into an open waveguide or into the path of radiation from an
enclosed antenna. Radar and other radio frequency radiation can upset cardiac pace-
makers. If someone with a cardiac pacemaker suspects abnormal operation, immediately
turn off the equipment and move the person away from the antenna. Turn off the Radar
whenever it is necessary to work on the antenna unit or on other equipment in the beam of
the Radar.
WARNING
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The Radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy, which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close
distance while the Radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at
a close distance.
