In the 80's a popular RDF unit in the CA based Tuna fleet was by Taiyo Musen Co LTD of Japan. It had a fiberglass cover over the antenna assembly that was labeled, "Do not except this cover." We guessed it to mean not to remove the cover when installing it.

This is wayyy OT so I'll keep it brief: many years ago I worked as a service technician for a stereo chain. The service manuals for the Asian equipment was full or mis-translations...the best one was from a Luxman amp manual describing the function of a "Mute" button:

"Audio Muting is for such an occasion as a phone call during reproduction"

We chucked about that one for days...
