The following symbols are used in this manual:
This symbol alerts you to possible sources of difficulty or situations that
may cause damage to the product or accessories if proper precautions
are not followed.
This symbol directs your attention to important operating instructions.
This symbol indicates helpful tips about effectively using the product.
Usage Cautions
• This receiver incorporates circuitry to absorb most static discharges.
However, severe static shock may cause inaccurate operation of the
unit. Use anti-static precautions where possible.
• This device is a precision instrument. Although it is designed for
rugged operating conditions, it performs best when handled with
care.
• This receiver can accept an input supply voltage in the range of
6-18 VDC. Do not operate the receiver outside the specified voltage
range.
• When the battery compartment door is closed and latched, and the
port covers are closed, the enclosure is sealed to provide protection
against adverse environmental conditions. To minimize the
possibility of damage, keep the battery compartment door closed
and latched except when inserting or removing the battery, and
keep the ports covered except when they are in use.
• If you are using cables with the receiver, always use the correct
cables and handle them with care (do not pinch or bend them
sharply). Failure to do so may damage the receiver and void its
warranty.

WEEE Notice
If you purchased your GSR1700 CSX in Europe, you must return it
to your dealer or supplier at the end of its life. The objectives of the
European Community's environment policy are, in particular, to
preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment,
protect human health and utilize natural resources prudently and
rationally. Sustainable development advocates the reduction of wasteful
consumption of natural resources and the prevention of pollution. Waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a regulated area. Where the
generation of waste cannot be avoided, it should be reused or recovered for
its material or energy. WEEE products may be recognized by their wheeled
bin label.
