Safety Precaution

HIGH VOLTAGE WARNING

Dangerously high voltages are present within the RADAR scanner unit. There are

no internal connections or adjustments necessary for installation. Only a qualified

radar service technician should remove the cover. Technicians must exercise ex-

treme care when working inside the unit. Always remove power before removing

the cover. Some capacitors may take several minutes to discharge, even after

switching off the radar. Before touching the magnetron or any high voltage com-

ponents, ground them with a clip lead.

MICROWAVE RADIATION HAZARD

The microwave energy radiated by a radar antenna is harmful to humans, espe-

cially to one’s eyes. Never look directly into an open waveguide or into the path of

radiation from an enclosed antenna. Radar and other radio frequency radiation

can upset cardiac pacemakers. If someone with a cardiac pacemaker suspects

abnormal operation, immediately turn off the equipment and move the person

away from the antenna. Turn off the radar whenever it is necessary to work on

the antenna unit or on other equipment in the beam of the radar.

MAGNETRON PREHEATING

When starting your RADAR for the first time or when restarting it after a two

month or longer non-operating period, preheat the magnetron at least 30 min-

utes in standby mode.

Please read through this manual before the first operation. If you have any ques-

tions, please contact the Company’s customer service or your local dealer.
