WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present. Use approved safety equipment and

CAUTION: Amplifier electronic components can be damaged by the environment. Close

the housing whenever it is left unattended to keep moisture out of the station and to

protect the network from RF interference.

the lid, do so at the lid bolt bosses which offer additional structural support. Prying the

lid at another location may damage the housing.
