there be any breakage in transit, please do not hesitate to contact the shop you purchased this product.
For your safety, read this manual carefully for proper handling and operation before using.
Precautions for using
●
Keep the transmitting power at 10W or less to protect a transceiver from the reflected power.
●
Do not input 250W or more, otherwise it causes a serious damage.
●
Tune the antenna first in case the antenna SWR is outside 15-200.
●
Never attempt to apply 15V or more to External Source Terminal. Failure to follow this might cause
breakdown.
