-  - **Heat**: Leaving a board connected to power for long periods before mounting using an appropriate exoxy compound or using a cooling fan can cause damage to the board.+  - **Heat**: Leaving a board connected to power for long periods before mounting using an appropriate exoxy compound or using a cooling fan can cause damage to the board. If powering up without permanent mounting, make it a brief momentary operation for the test you are performing, or if you want to do a longer test you MUST use a fan.
   - **Voltage**: If the input voltage to a board is too high, this may damage the board. Test supply voltages before connecting to a booster board.   - **Voltage**: If the input voltage to a board is too high, this may damage the board. Test supply voltages before connecting to a booster board.
   - **Bad Antenna Connection**: If the output antenna line is poorly connected, this can cause the output signal to be reflected. Make sure the antenna connection is secured before use.   - **Bad Antenna Connection**: If the output antenna line is poorly connected, this can cause the output signal to be reflected.
