Safety considerations

Safety alerts

CAUTION

The cables supplied with the antenna kit are made to
specific lengths. Do not cut cables to a shorter length or
add length to the cable run.

Use only the supplied cables, not third-party cables. Use of
third party cables will invalidate the warranty of the antenna
and may cause system malfunctions.

CAUTION

If the magnetic mounts do not make full contact with the
vehicle's roof, the antenna may break loose.

CAUTION

This device emits radio frequency energy when in transmit
mode. To avoid injury, keep at least 2 meters away from the
antenna when the system is operational.
