Follow the below illustration and advice regarding the proper connection of antenna coaxial cables, ground cable, and the
AC power cable.
A
DVICE
:
Do not place the transceiver in a location with direct exposure to sunshine.
Do not place the transceiver in a location exposed to dust and/or high humidity.
Ensure adequate ventilation around the transceiver, to prevent heat build-up and possible reduction of performance due
to high heat.
Do not install the transceiver in a mechanically-unstable location, or where objects may fall onto this product from
above.
To minimize the possibility of interference to home entertainment devices, take all precautionary steps including sepa-
ration of TV/FM antennas from Amateur transmitting antennas to the greatest extent possible. Keep transmitting coaxial
cables separated from cables connected to home entertainment devices.
Ensure that the AC power cord is not subject to undue stress or bending, which could damage the cable or cause it to be
accidentally unplugged from the rear panel AC input jack.
Be absolutely certain to install your transmitting antenna(s) such that they cannot possibly come in contact with TV/FM
radio or other antennas, nor with outside power or telephone lines.
Use a short, thick, braided cable
to connect your station equipment
to the buried ground rod (or alter-
native earth ground system).
