Note the following precautions:
WARNING
Ground the product and verify outdoor installation grounding

ESD Protection
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to

ESD for their intended use. It is possible to damage the product,
however, by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching ESD
sensitive components or transmitter connectors.
To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:
- Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and
protected ESD workbench.
- When an ESD workbench is not available, ground yourself with a
wrist strap and a resistive connection cord.
Recycling
Recycle all applicable material.
