Installation To ensure optimum performance and reliability of the repeater, install it properly according to the following instructions. 3.1 Installation Requirements Installation Environment The repeater must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated place. The ambient temperature ranges from -30°C to +60°C, and the relative humidity is 95%. Installation Location The repeater can be installed in a rack, bracket and cabinet or on a desk. For more information, refer to the Safety Information Booklet. 3.2 Pre-installation Tasks Preparing the tools  Phillips screwdriver  T-10 torx screwdriver  Spanner  Anti-static gloves  Multimeter Checking the power supply Before installing the repeater, make sure that the power supply meets the following requirements:  DC power voltage: 13.6±15% V  AC power voltage: 100~240V 3.3 Installation Procedure To install the repeater, do as follows:
1. Wear the anti-static gloves. 2. Place the repeater to a proper location. 3. Connect accessories including the antenna, feed lines, and power cords to the repeater. The antenna and feed lines need to be purchased separately. 4. Ground the repeater through the Ground Screw located on the rear panel. 3.4 Post-installation Check To check whether the repeater works properly, do as follows: 1. Turn the repeater on. 2. Observe the LED indicators and the display in the front panel.  If the Timeslot A RX indicator glows yellow and the display shows the current channel, the repeater works properly.  If the Alarm Indicator glows red and the display shows the alarm code, the repeater does not work properly.
4. Basic Operations 4.1 Turning the Repeater On or Off If the repeater is connected to a DC power supply, press the power switch on the DC power supply to turn the repeater on or off. If the repeater is connected to an AC power supply, press the AC Power Switch located in the rear panel to turn the repeater on or off. Do not touch the metal on the side of the repeater for more than 1 second during normal use. 4.2 Switching the Channel You can use the Channel Up or Channel Down key in the front panel to change the channel. After you change the channel, the current channel number appears on the display of the repeater. To switch to the previous or next channel, press the Channel Up or Channel Down key. 4.3 Checking LED Indications Indicator Color Description Digital Mode Blue The repeater is operating in digital mode. Analog Mode Yellow The repeater is operating in analog mode. Alarm Red The repeater is not working properly. Timeslot A TX Red  Analog mode: The repeater is transmitting.  Digital mode: The repeater is transmitting in timeslot A. Timeslot A RX Green  Analog mode: The repeater is receiving.  Digital mode: The repeater is receiving in timeslot A. Timeslot B TX Red Digital mode: The repeater is transmitting in timeslot B. Timeslot B RX Green Digital mode: The repeater is receiving in timeslot B.
5. Alarm Information With the Alarm feature enabled by your dealer, the repeater can detect alarms. When an error occurs, the display shows the alarm code with the Alarm Indicator on the front panel glowing red. 5.1 Low Forward Power Alarm Description When the forward power is below the preset value, the Alarm Indicator glows red and the display shows the alarm code E8. Then the repeater may continue or stop the transmission. Solution Check if the connection between the repeater and RF adapter cable or antenna/feed line is loose or damaged.  If yes, secure or replace the cable or antenna/feed line.  If no, contact your local dealer for technical support. 5.2 TX/RX Unlock Alarm Description When the TX PLL or RX PLL is unlocked, the Alarm Indicator glows red and the display shows the alarm code E4 or E5 respectively. Then certain features of the repeater become unavailable automatically. Solution Disconnect the power supply, and then open the housing to check if the hardware cable is loose or damaged.  If yes, secure or replace the cable.  If no, contact your local dealer for technical support.
5.3 Over Temperature Alarm Description When the temperature of the PA module exceeds the upper threshold, the Alarm Indicator glows red and the display shows the alarm code E6. Then the repeater will stop transmission. Solution 1. Check whether the temperature of the PA module surface is over 120 C.  If yes, proceed with Step 2.  If no, proceed with Step 3. Do not touch the surface of the PA module to avoid burn. You can use a digital thermometerwith thermocouple to measure the temperature. 2. Check whether the ambient temperature and ventilation conditions of the repeater satisfy the foregoing installation requirements.  If yes, proceed with Step 3.  If no, make improvements as soon as possible by mounting air conditioning equipment, improving equipment ventilation, or reducing ambient temperature. 3. Check if the connection between the repeater and RF cable or antenna/feed line is loose or damaged.  If yes, secure or replace the cable or antenna/feed line.  If no, contact your local dealer for technical support. 5.4 Over/Low Voltage Alarm Description When the repeater detects that the voltage inputted by the external power supply is out of the normal range (11.56–15.64 V), the Alarm Indicator glows red and the display shows the alarm code EH (over voltage) or E3 (low voltage). Then the repeater will automatically stop working.
Solution 1. Use voltmeter to check whether the DC or AC power voltage is too low or too high.  If yes, replace the DC or AC power supply.  If no, proceed with Step 2. 2. Check whether the power cord is loose or damaged.  If yes, secure or replace the power cord.  If no, contact your local dealer for technical support. 5.5 Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) Alarm Description When the repeater detects the VSWR of the TX antenna for the PA module exceeds the normal value, the Alarm Indicator glows red and the display shows the alarm code E7. Then the repeater will automatically work at low TX power. Solution 1. Check if the TX frequency is within the frequency range of the antenna.  If yes, proceed with Step 2.  If no, contact your local dealer to replace the antenna. 2. Check if the connection between the repeater and RF adapter cable or antenna/feed line is loose or damaged.  If yes, replace the cable or antenna/feed line.  If no, contact your local dealer for technical support.
6. Troubleshooting Phenomena Analysis Solution Power-on Failure The power cord may be unconnected or not securely connected to the outlet. Properly connect the power cord and ensure secure connection. The fuse in the power cord may be damaged. Check if the fuse has blown. If yes, replace it with a new one. Group members cannot talk to each other, or the repeater cannot communicate with a radio. The TX/RX frequency of the repeater is inconsistent with that of the radio. Check if the frequencies are consistent. Reset them when necessary. The repeater fails to transit useful signal due to strong interference signal. Remove or bypass the interference source, or change to operate at other frequencies. The group member is out of the coverage of the repeater. Go within the coverage of the repeater. Group members cannot talk to each other, even though RX indication is given. The radio ID is inconsistent with that of the other group members. Set the radio ID to the same as that of the other members. The CTCSS/CDCSS of the radio is inconsistent with that of the repeater. Check if the CTCSS/CDCSSs are consistent, Reset the CTCSS/CDCSSs when necessary. Short communication range or poor audio. The connection cable is damaged, and the signal energy leaks. Check the damages, and replace the cable with a new one if necessary. The antenna connector and the cable may get loose connection or even disconnected. Check and secure the cable connector, or replace it if necessary. Invisible damage may occur to the cable. Replace the cable with a new one. If the above solutions cannot fix your problems, or you may have some other queries, please contact us or your local dealer for more technical support.
