4. Before Use
4.1 Instruction
To ensure optimum performance and reliability of the repeater, please read the following instructions
carefully.
Operation Environment
The repeater must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated place with ambient temperature of -30 ℃ to
+60℃ and relative humidity of not more than 95%.
Voltage Check
Check whether the input voltage is within the operating voltage of the repeater (DC power supply: 13.6V
±15%; AC power supply: 90V to 264V).
4.2 Wall-mount Bracket Installation (Optional)
Please contact your dealer to purchase a wall-mount bracket kit to install the repeater on the wall.

1 Expansion Rubber Plug 3 Self-tapping Screw
2 Wall-mount Bracket / /
4.2.1 Installation Tools
Tools required for installing the repeater include an electric drill and a T10 torx screwdriver.
4.2.2 Installation Steps
Step 1 To install the wall-mount bracket, do as follows:
7
1. Use the electric drill to drill three holes on the wall which align with that on the wall-mount
bracket;
2. Put the expansion rubber plug into the drill holes; you can ignore this step if the wall is not a
concrete wall;
3. Use three ST4X16 self-tapping screws to fasten the bracket on the wall.
Note: Make sure the wall can support the repeater’s weight before drilling.
8
Step 2 To amount the repeater on the bracket, do as follows:
1. Align the hanging screws on the upper side of the repeater with the notch of the bracket and
hang the repeater on the bracket;
2. Move the repeater side to side slightly to ensure the hanging screws reach the bottom of the
notch.
4.2.3 Product Check
Please check whether the repeater works properly by observing the 7 LEDs located in the front panel
after the repeater is powered on via the AC Power Switch key.

5. Alarm Information
The repeater will have real-time detection of its status automatically. When the repeater is operating
abnormally, the alarm indicator on the front panel will remain glowing red until all alarms are eliminated.
When an alarm event occurs, you can diagnose and handle the problem via the RDAC application
provided by us or contact your local dealer for technical support.
Alarm types and causes are listed in the table below:
Alarm Type Alarm Cause
External Power
Abnormal
High Voltage: The input voltage is higher than 15.8V±0.2V.
Low Voltage: The input voltage is lower than 11V±0.2V.
High Temperature Temperature sensor detects a temperature above 85℃.
Abnormal VSWR VSWR > 3:1.
Over-high VSWR will damage the PA module or even disable it.
TX Unlock TX PLL is unlocked, and the repeater stops transmitting and repeating.
RX Unlock RX PLL is unlocked, and the repeater stops receiving and repeating.
Fan Failure PA temperature is higher than the fan off temperature configured via CPS.

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 power supply may output
improper voltage.
Check if the power supply outputs the
voltage within the required range (DC
power supply: 13.6V ±15%; AC power
supply: 90V to 264V). If not, replace the
power adapter.
Unable to
communicate with
other members.
TX/RX frequency of the repeater
is inconsistent with that of
portable/mobile radios.
Check if the frequencies are consistent.
Reset the frequencies when necessary.
Failed to repeat useful signal due
to strong interference signals.
If you cannot remove or bypass the
interference source, change to operate at
other frequencies.
The group member is out of the
coverage of the repeater.
Move towards the coverage of the
repeater.
If the above solutions cannot fix the problems, or there are other questions, please contact Hytera or the
dealer for more technical support.
