Health and Safety Precautions
This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain a minimum clearance from
the antenna as specified in Table 5 on page 19 while the system is operating. Whenever possible, power
down the
CAP MX before servicing the antenna.
Only license holders for the respective frequency range are allowed to operate this unit.
Ce système est un émetteur RF et émet en permanence de l'énergie RF. Maintenez un dégagement
minimum par rapport à l'antenne comme spécifié dans Table 5 on page 19 pendant que le système
fonctionne. Dans la mesure du possible, éteignez le CAP MX avant de réparer l'antenne.
Seuls les titulaires de licence pour la gamme de fréquences respective sont autorisés à utiliser cet
appareil.
A high leakage current ground (earth) connection to the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is essential before
making any other connections to the PSU.
Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the laser beam; do not view the laser
beam directly or with optical instruments.
High frequency radiation in operation. Risk of health hazards associated with radiation from the
antenna(s) connected to the unit. Implement prevention measures to avoid the possibility of close
proximity to the antenna(s) while in operation.
