UNPACKING
Carefully remove the AT2K from the shipping carton and
inspect it for signs of damage. If any damage is apparent,
notify the transportation carrier or dealer immediately.
KEEP THE PACKING CARTON for moving, storing, or
reshipping the tuner to us for repair if required.
LOCATION
Select a location for the AT2K that allows the connectors
to be free from any possible contact with people, pets,
or objects during operation and with unrestricted air
ow for cooling.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Connect a coax cable from your transmitter to the RF
INPUT connector on the rear panel. Keep the cable as
short as possible. If you use a linear amplier, connect
your transmitter to the linear amplier input and the
linear amplier output to the AT2K.
DO NOT USE MORE THAN 1500 WATTS (single tone)
through the tuner.
