Warnings, cautions or notes related to the product

Risk of RF exposure.
To prevent from RF exposure, place an RF absorber or blanket in front of the radome surface or keep 1.5 m (4.92 ft) distance from the radome surface in controlled environment and 3 m (9.84 ft) distance from the radome surface in uncontrolled environment (as labeled on the front panel).
