This product was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the use of
Abekas peripheral devices and Abekas shielded cables and connectors between
system components. It is important that Abekas peripheral devices are used, and
shielded cables and connectors are used between system components to reduce the
possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic
devices. Abekas peripheral devices and the properly shielded cables and connectors
can be obtained directly from Abekas, or through an Abekas-authorized dealer.
Safety and First Aid
Abekas equipment is designed to the highest standards of quality and reliability.
However, no matter how these systems are designed, operators and maintenance
personnel can be exposed to electrical shock hazard when protective covers are
