VERSION NUMBER
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or
to a DC power supply that outputs more than the specified voltage. This will ruin the transceiver.
DO NOT expose the transceiver’s main unit to rain, snow or liquids.
DO NOT reverse the polarity of the DC power cable when directly connecting to the transceiver.
DO NOT apply an RF signal of more than 20 dBm (100 mW) to the antenna connector. This could damage the transceiver’s front-end.

REPAIR NOTES
1.Make sure that the problem is internal before disassembling the transceiver.
2. DO NOT open the transceiver until it is disconnected from its power source.
3. DO NOT short any circuits or electronic parts.
4.DO NOT keep power ON for a long time when the transceiver is defective.
5. NEVER directly transmit power into any test equipment such as Standard Signal Generator, otherwise the RF power may damage them.
6. ALWAYS connect a 50 dB to 60 dB attenuator between the transceiver and such test equipment.
7.READ the instructions of the test equipment thoroughly before connecting it to the transceiver.
8. If the front panel and case of the remote controller are separated and reassembled, waterproofperformance will not be guaranteed unless the specified waterproof check is performed.
