WARNING:   RF RADIATION HAZARD 

This stabilized antenna system is designed to be used with transmit/receive equipment 

manufactured by others.  Refer to the documentation supplied by the manufacturer which 

will describe potential hazards, including exposure to RF radiation, associated with the 
improper use of the transmit/receive equipment.  Note that the transmit/receive 

equipment will operate independently of the stabilized antenna system.  Prior to work on 

the stabilized antenna system, the power to the transmit/receive system must be locked 

out and tagged. 

When the transmit/receive system is in operation, no one should be allowed 

anywhere 

within the radiated beam 

being emitted from the reflector. 

The ultimate responsibility for safety rests with the facility operator and the 
individuals who work on the system.
