WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
Hazardous voltage which can cause electrical shock exists inside the
equipment. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.
Turn off the radar power switch before servicing the antenna unit.
Post a warning sign near the switch indicating it should not be
turned on while the antenna unit is being serviced.
Prevent the potential risk of being struck by the rotating antenna.

antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if someone falls from the radar
antenna mast.
A transmitting radar antenna emits electromagnetic waves, which
can be harmful, particularly to the eyes.
Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance
while the radar is in operation, or expose yourself to the transmitting
radar at a close distance.

contact spray to coating or plastic parts of
the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that can
damage coating and plastic parts, especially
plastic connectors.
