WARNING - Maximum input voltage is 12VDC. Automotive voltages may exceed 12V caus­ing damage to internal circuitry. Damage resulting from excessive input voltage is readily appar­ent and will not be covered under warranty. Units returned for warranty service that have damage
resulting from excessive supply voltages will incur service charges.

WARNING - Maximum antenna input signal is +15dBm (50mW). Under no circumstances
should the Digital Scout be directly connected to an RF transmitter or be used in close proximity
to a radio transmitter of more than 5 watts. Damage to the input amplifier circuitry is readily
apparent and will not be covered under warranty. Units returned for warranty service that have
damage to the input circuitry will incur service charges.
