Explanation of symbols, Environment protection 1.1 Explanation of symbols Warnings Warnings are marked by a warning triangle. In addition, signal words indicate the nature and severity of the consequences if the mea- sures to avert the hazard are not followed. The following signal words are used in this document: NOTE means that property damage may occur. WARNING means that serious or even life-threatening personal injury may occur. DANGER means that serious or life-threatening personal injury will occur. Important information without danger to people or proper- ty is marked by the adjacent symbol. These informations are boanded by lines above and below the text. 1.2 Important informations SymbolMeaning ► Instruction ➔ Reference to a position in the document Enumeration/List entry - Enumeration/List entry (2 nd level) 1.3 Environment protection Disposal of packaging The packaging protects the device against damage during transport. The packaging materials are selected according to environmentally friendly and disposal-related aspects and thus recyclable. The return of the remaining packaging parts, such as packaging straps, PE bags, etc., into the material cycle saves raw materials and reduces waste. If you plan to dispose of the packing by yourself, please locate the nearest recycling center. 2. Safety informations Read these operating and installation instructions carefully and com- pletely before attempting to install and operate the device! Keep these operating and installation instructions carefully. These operating instructions contain important safety and operating instructions for the use of the RF2K-S linear amplifier. When selling the device hand this document to the new owner. There are dangerous voltages inside the device! Before opening the device: ► Switch off the device by pressing the power switch O n/O f f (1) at the front of the device and wait until all cooling fans stop. ► Disconnect the power cable from the Power jack (9). Follow the instructions of a note to avoid damage to the device! Follow the instructions of a warning to avoid serious injury! Please use this linear amplifier only according to the instructions in this manual. The device is designed only for operation on frequencies of the ama - teur radio service. For legal operation you need a valid amateur radio license. 4 Operating and installation instructions RF-KIT Power Amplifier RF2K-S This device is NOT a TOY. It must not be handled by children or placed within reach of children or even been operated. The unit should only be opened or serviced by a qualified technician. This device generates high frequency energy. Use the device with due care regarding the system configuration. When connected to an antenna, this linear amplifier can generate high-frequency electromagnetic fields, which must be evaluated ac - cording to applicable national laws. All measures must be taken to ensure the necessary insulation regarding human exposure (observe minimum distances!). The radio frequency energy generated by this device may interact with some electronic devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. Refer to the manufacturer instructions of a pacemaker or defibrillator for precautions in the vicinity of a radio frequency transmitter. Immediately stop an ongoing transmission if malfunction or interfe - rence with a pacemaker or defibrillator is suspected! DANGER - HIGH TENSION! NEVER connect an antenna or remove an antenna socket while the unit is transmitting! This can cause electric shock or burns! DANGER - HIGH TENSION! NEVER operate the device without properly mounted cover. This can cause electric shock or burns! DANGER - HIGH TENSION! NEVER apply mains voltage before the linear amplifier is Grounded. Touching the linear amplifier in this case can cause an electric shock! WARNING! NEVER operate the device with a mains voltage other than the recommen…
