CAUTION! Make sure the RF Module is seated correctly in the Module shelf. Incorrect alignment of the
RF Module can cause the RF Module to fail due to overheating.
• The front edge of the RF Module should be parallel with the shelf above it.
• The Mounting Hook on the RF Module should be fully engaged with the Receiving flange
on the Remote Unit chassis.
• An incorrectly seated RF Module makes closing the Prism door difficult. If you later cannot
shut the Remote Unit door, verify that the RF Module is installed correctly.
