External Voltage Warning 

The transmitter checks the line when connected. If the line is carrying voltages in excess of 25V, it will display 
the “high voltage” warning icon, and not allow the transmitter to operate. In addition, the transmitter is protected 
in the event of excessive voltage or voltage spikes on the line.
