Note: (1) The repeater works best when located in an ideal place that can have good reception for re-transmitting the signal without any problems. Refer to "Pre-Installation Considerations” on page 10 for more information.

(2) The repeater is manufactured to MIL SPEC 810 C, D, E and F and G and IP55, makes it robust enough to meet stringent specifications for shock, rain, humidity and salt fog, vibration, sand/dust, temperature shock, high and low temperatures.

(3) The repeater is not a submersible device Figure 2a. Warehouse Application Example (Refer to "Appendix A: Repeater Specifications” on page 63 for more information) and it is NOT an FM (Factory Mutual) certified device.

(4) Out of the 16 pre-programmed channels

that are available out of the box, you can select REPEATER OVERVIEW only ONE channel each time you TX/RX with the repeater. The repeater is NOT a multi- channel repeater.

(5) The repeater’s CPS software is required. Refer to "Programming The Repeater” on page 38 for more information.

Conducting the RF Coverage Field Test The objective of the field test is to “simulate” the transmission quality and coverage that the repeater may have based upon a chosen location. This type of testing and planning becomes very useful as it can save you extra work and money as a poor location and/or adverse environmental conditions can affect the repeater’s performance. CONSIDERATIONS PRE-INSTALLATION PRE-INSTALLATION To do so, one person should remain in the tentative repeater location and the second person should start walking around the area intended to Figure 5: Conducting the RF Coverage be covered, while transmitting with the radio. Field Test

If the quality communication between the two way radios is good, this means that the repeater transmissions should be OK. The test can be conducted by more than two people, as long as the first one remains fixed on the repeater location under evaluation.

Note: If you’re planning to have an external antenna installation, you should try to mimic, as much as possible, the antenna positioning to replicate the antenna’s height.

Do not attempt to recharge alkaline batteries. They are non-rechargable. Important

The Alkaline Battery Power LED on the side of the repeater gives you status on the external power connection and indication on whether or not the batteries are being detected (as long the repeater is getting AC/DC power).

In the case that the repeater loses the external AC/DC power, this LED goes OFF. In this case, refer to the FRONT LED status (Table 4), which gives other battery status information.
