VX-1400 OPERATING MANUAL8

Antenna Precautions

Always locate antennas such that they can never come in contact with outdoor power lines

in the event of a catastrophic antenna support or power line support structure failure.

Ground the support structure adequately, so as to dissipate energy absorbed during a light-

ning strike. Install appropriate lightning arrestors in the antenna lead-in and rotator cable

(if used) according to the arrestor’s instructions.

In the event of an approaching electrical storm, disconnect all antenna lead-in, rotator

cables, and power cables completely from your station if the storm is not immediately in

your area. Do not allow disconnected cables to touch the case of your VX-1400 trans-

ceiver or accessories, as lightning can easily jump from the cable to the circuitry of your

transceiver via the case, causing irreparable damage. If a lightning storm is in progress in

your immediate area, do not attempt to disconnect the cables, as you could be killed in-

stantly if lightning should strike your antenna structure or a nearby power line.

If a vertical antenna is utilized, be certain that humans and/or pets and farm animals are

kept away both from the radiating element (to prevent electrical shock and RF exposure

danger) and the ground system, in the event of an electrical storm. The buried radials of a

ground-mounted vertical antenna can carry lethal voltages outward from the center of the

antenna in the event of a direct lightning strike.

Heat and Ventilation

To ensure long life of the components, be certain to provide adequate ventilation around

the cabinet of the VX-1400. The cooling system of the transceiver must be free to draw

cool air in from the bottom of the transceiver and expel warm air from the rear of the

transceiver.

Do not install the transceiver on top of another heat-generating device (such as a linear

amplifier), and do not place equipment, books, or papers on top of the transceiver. Place

the transceiver on a hard, flat, stable surface. Avoid heating vents and window locations

that could expose the transceiver to excessive direct sunlight, especially in hot climates.
