IMPORTANT The ALPHA 9500 is extremely easy to set up, tune, operate, and
maintain. However, failure to carry out each procedure exactly as
described in this manual is likely to lead to amplifier damage, which
is not covered under warranty. Damage to other station equipment
may also result.
Proceed slowly throughout these procedures to avoid bumping and
damaging adjacent wires, connectors, and components.
