SERIAL NUMBER OF THE INSTRUMENT
You can find the Serial Number near the RF connector on both antennas.
Serial Number is in the form: 0000X00000.
The first four digits and the letter are the Serial Number prefix, the last five digits are
the Serial Number suffix. The prefix is the same for identical instruments, it changes
only when a configuration change is made to the instrument.
The suffix is different for each instrument.
