IMPORTANT
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CAREFULLY before attempting to operate the re-
peater.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This
manual contains important safety and operating in-
structions for the ID-RP1 system.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD DEFINITION
RRWARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No
risk or personal injury, fire or electric
shock.
PRECAUTIONS
RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be
observed when operating this device. If you have any
questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards
please refer to the Federal Communications Commission
Office of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evalu-
ating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
RNEVER apply AC to the [DC13.8V] connector. This
could cause a fire or ruin the repeater.
RNEVER apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V
battery, to the [DC13.8V] jack on the repeater. This could
cause a fire or ruin the repeater.
RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any in-
ternal part or connectors on the repeater. This may result
in an electric shock.
AVOID using or placing the repeater in areas with tem-
peratures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).
Be aware that temperatures on a vehicle’s dashboard can
exceed 80°C (+176°F), resulting in permanent damage to
the repeater if left there for extended periods.

RDANGER
ID-RP1 is intended for professional installation only.
We are not responsible for any building breakage, any
damage resulting from a drop of ID-RP1 from a high
place or unstable site or resulting from any personal
injury nor any accident in any other cases. If ID-RP1 is
must be installed at such high place or unstable site,
be sure to consult an expert engineer.
IMPORTANT: Use the supplied connection cables
ONLY. NEVER extend the cables—system or com-
munication error may occur.
✔ For your convenience
A label (“”mark in the diagram above) is attached
near the connector on the supplied coaxial cable to
specifying the connection for guidance.
*Connecting connector can be selected with the ID-RP1D
maintenance application. (See page 19) Before operating
the repeater system, programming is necessary for both the
ID-RP1D and the ID-RP1VS.
CAUTION!: NEVER turn the ID-RP1L power ON
without connecting the parabolic antenna. The ID-
RP1L starts transmission after power ON. Trans-
mission without antenna may damage the ID-RP1L.
IMPORTANT: After the connections, turn the ID-
RP1D power ON first to prevent system error.
