CAUTION
•
This device emits radio frequency energy when in
transmit mode. To avoid injury, do not place head or
other body parts between feed horn and antenna when
system is operational. Keep at least 2 ft away from the
area between the feed horn and the reflector when the
system is operational.
•
Make sure the cylindrical space projecting outward from
the antenna reflector toward the satellite does not
intersect or come close to any inhabited areas.
•
Disconnect power from the IDU before performing
maintenance or adding upgrades to any antenna
components.
