 WARNING

DANGEROUS VOLTAGES EXIST IN THIS EQUIPMENT

Be careful when working on the power supply circuits, the 115-volt ac line connections, or the
240-volt plate circuits in Receiver, Radio R-390(*)/URR. Turn off power when working on the
transmitting antenna or the transmitting antenna terminals; high radio frequency voltages exist
at these points.

DON'T TAKE CHANCES!

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS VOLTAGES

EXIST IN THE FOLLOWING UNITS:

TRANSMITTER, RADIO T-368(*)/URT 2,400-volt circuits

CONVERTER, FREQUENCY SHIFT CV-116(*)/URR 620-volt circuits

WARNING

VENTILATION

The shelter must be ventilated when occupied. Be sure to open the vents, window shutters, or
door when the equipment is operated. Keep the shelter air intake fan closed during
transportation. The truck exhaust stack is near the air intake vent and danger from carbon
monoxide poisoning exists. When the vehicle is moving, adequate air circulation exists through
the shelter windows.
