As you perform these procedures, observe the following safety

precautions:

CAUTION

• This device emits radio frequency energy when in

transmit mode. To avoid injury, do not place head or

other body parts between feed horn and antenna when

system is operational. Keep at least 2 ft away from the

area between the feed horn and the reflector when the

system is operational.

• Make sure the cylindrical space projecting outward from

the antenna reflector toward the satellite does not

intersect or come close to any inhabited areas.

• Disconnect power from the IDU before performing

maintenance or adding upgrades to any antenna

components.
