Warnings, cautions or notes related to the product
f WARNING! Risk of electric shock!
Before turning RF power on, RF ports have to be terminated by nominal 50 Ω load (for
example, feeder with antenna). However, if these conditions are not met, the plastic
caps that are delivered within the unused RF ports should remain in place. The plastic
caps isolate RF power from the environment, and thus provide electric shock security in
case RF power is accidentally on.
g Note: The minimum startup voltage is 40.5 V DC. If the input voltage is below/beyond
extended limits, unit might shut down.
