WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present. Use approved safety equipment and
procedures. Sheath currents may flow through the amplifier housing. Establish a second
current path around the housing before disconnecting any cables. Automotive jumper cables
are recommended.
CAUTION: Amplifier electronic components can be damaged by the environment. Close
the housing whenever it is left unattended to keep moisture out of the amplifier and to
protect the network from RF interference.
CAUTION: DO NOT back centerseizure screws completely out of the seizure
mechanism. Centerseizure screws are not captive. Screws loose in the housing can cause
short circuits.
