CAUTION:

 

• 

DO NOT attempt any type of service or repair on this amplifier without first removing the 
AC power and allowing 

AT LEAST 60 MINUTES FOR THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACI-

TORS TO BLEED OFF !  

• 

DO NOT operate this amplifier with the top or bottom covers removed. DO NOT operate 
this amplifier with the internal RF tube compartment covers removed. Never place any ob-
jects into the top ventilation holes. 

CONTACT WITH VOLTAGES IN THE CABINET 

CAN BE FATAL !   EXPOSURE TO UNSHIELDED RF AT THESE POWER LEVELS 
IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH !

 

• 

Never attempt operation without first connecting an appropriate antenna (2:1 VSWR Max) 
or a 50 ohm dummy load with sufficient rating or 

SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE AMPLI-

FIER MAY RESULT. 

• 

Never operate the amplifier with more drive than required to produce the rated output for 
the operating mode used.

 

• 

Do not place the VHF-1200 OR VHF-2000 in repeater operation. These amplifiers are not 
designed for unattended service.Never operate any amplifier using an extension cord.
