CAUTION 

The 500W Series unit product lens is coated with a special anti-reflective coating which 

is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes and abrasive cleaners.  CLEANERS CONTAINING 

AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING.  It is very important 

to clean the lens using an eyeglass lens cleaner, which is specified as safe for anti-

reflective coatings and a clean, lint-free cloth. 

CAUTION 

The use of ground-based cellular telephones while aircraft are airborne is prohibited by 

FCC rules.  Due to potential interference with onboard systems, the use of ground-based 

cell phones while the aircraft is on the ground is subject to FAA regulation 14 CFR 

§91.21. 

FCC regulation 47 CFR §22.925 prohibits airborne operation of ground-based cellular 

telephones installed in or carried aboard aircraft.  Ground-based cellular telephones must 

not be operated while aircraft are off the ground.  When any aircraft leaves the ground, 

all ground-based cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off. 

Ground-based cell phones that are on, even in a monitoring state, can disrupt GPS 

performance.
