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 Centerseizure screws may not be captive. Modules manufactured after June
1999 have either captive boots over these screws or captive screws that cannot be
backed out completely. Do not back out non-captive screws more than two full turns,
because they can fall out into the housing and under the RF module where they can
cause short circuits requiring removal of the RF module and service interruption.
