WARNING
DANGER
laser light
The TADS has a hazardous class IV
neodymium laser. The laser emits a light
beam with a light wavelength of 1064
nanometers and is invisible. Accidental
application of laser power could result in
direct exposure to the invisible beam or
reflections from the beam. This could
cause blindness or serious eye injury.
To prevent accidental APU start, ensure
that the APU circuit breaker in the AFT
avionics bay and the APU HOLD circuit
breaker on the pilot center circuit breaker
panel are open when battery or external
electrical power is attached to the
helicopter and unqualified personnel are
in and around the pilot crew station.
Prior to helicopter operation, ensure that
the gun turret area is clear. Failure to clear
the area could result in injury to personnel
or damage to equipment.
CAUTION
If ambient outside temperature is below
18C (0F) or above 27C (80F) make sure
the environmental control system (ECS) is
ON. Allow pilot and copilot/gunner (CPG)
crew stations to reach a comfortable level
before proceeding. Failure to comply
could result in damage to equipment
