Notes:
Take care not to bend the cable over any sharp corners of the boom assembly, or particu-
larly, the top plate on the antenna tower, or the cable could be damaged. Do not bend the cable in a
smaller diameter than 10 inches. Do not clamp anything over the cable that could possibly pinch, or
damage it. A short-circuit of the cable may cause damage to the electronic controller.
