Thank you for your selection of the 905 module for your telemetry

needs.  We trust it will give you many years of valuable service.

ATTENTION!

Incorrect termination of supply wires may

cause internal damage and will void warranty.

To ensure your 905 enjoys a long life,

double check ALL your connections with

the user’s manual

before turning the power on.
