diagrams and steps before installing the repeater.
Duplexer with front side facing upwards

7
Duplexer with front side facing downwards
1. Loosen the three screws on the bracket with a Phillips screwdriver.

8
2. Install the duplexer onto the bracket.
Observe the specifications of the two antenna interfaces on the duplexer to determine which one
should be connected to
the repeater. The interface connecting the repeater should be close to PA
module to reduce RF loss.
3. Loosen the screws at the back of the repeater top cover, and then pull the top cover backwards to
remove it.
4. Loosen the six screws locking the PA module of the repeater, remove all power, data and RF cables
from the PA, and then remove the PA module.

9
5. Connect the RF cable through the hole next to the PA module.
6. Install the duplexer to the repeater.
Mount the duplexer on the exciter module and receiver module of the repeater, and then fasten the
duplexer with the two screws inside the housing and the two screws on the side of the housing.
7. Attach the PA module and connect all PA power, data and RF cables to it.
8. Close the repeater cover.
The installation is complete.
3.2.2 Installing the Repeater
1. Place the repeater to a proper location.
2. Connect accessories including the antenna, feed lines, and power cords to the repeater.
You must purchase the antenna and feed lines separately.
3. Ground the repeater through the Ground Screw located on the rear panel.
3.3 Post-installation Check
After installation, power on the repeater and check whether it works properly by observing the nine LED
indicators and the LCD display in the front panel.

4. Basic Operations
4.1 Turning the Repeater On or Off
To turn on the repeater, connect it to the DC power supply. During power-up process, the Power
Indicator glows green and the power-up screen appears.
To turn off the repeater, disconnect it from the DC power supply.
4.2 Adjusting the Volume
For analog channel: Rotate the Volume Control knob clockwise to increase the volume or
counter-clockwise to decrease the volume.
For digital channel and mixed channel: The Volume Control knob is invalid, and the volume cannot
be adjusted.
4.3 Adjusting the Power Level
You can request your dealer to set the TX power to High or Low. Low power can reduce power
consumption. High power can extend the repeater coverage, enabling you to communicate with farther
radios.
On the LCD, indicates High power and indicates Low power.
4.4 Turning the Backlight On or Off
Turning on the backlight can illuminate the LCD and all the front panel keys, so as to facilitate your
operation under dim light conditions.
Your dealer can set the backlight to either of the following modes:
Timed: Key press, knob operation, or receiving/transmitting signals can turn on the backlight. If no
foregoing event occurs within the specified time period, the backlight turns off automatically.
Enable: The backlight keeps on all the time.
