BASE STATION INSTALLATION AND CHECKOUT
Unpack the transceiver carefully and check for exterior damages and the access-
ories.
Connect the 3 wire AC cord to an AC plug in the following manner:
1.
blue to AC terminal
2.
brown to AC terminal
3.
yellow/green to the earth terminal
Connect the antenna plug to the antenna jack with an SWR-Meter inserted into
the antenna cable.
Connect the microphone to the microphone jack.
Place the transceiver in operating position and connect the AC plug to a 220 Volt
50 Hz AC output.
Check very carefully that nothing touches the backpanel and that there is a min.
10 cm space between the backpanel and any object nearby because the transmitting
transistors will heat up to 100 degree Centigrade and carry a voltage of 14 Volt
DC and high power RF.
Switch the transceiver ON.
The receiving, meter and the channel lamp shall light up.
Turn the Squelch control to min. (ANL OFF)
Turn the Volume control to max. until you hear a rushing sound from the speaker.
Switch the channelselector to CH 1.
Push the transmit button on the microphone and check with the SWR-Meter
immediately the SWR of your antenna. The SWR must be less than 1 to 2. Do
this within 3 seconds, because if the SWR is higher than 1 to 2 it is very likely
that the transmitting transistors will be demaged if you operate thé transm itter
too long with a antenna having a too high SWR.
Also read carefully
the
recommendations on antennas.
If the SWR is less than 1 to 2 continue installation. If it is more than 1 to 2
repair or replace your antenna.
Check that the meter needle is near the red mark during transmitting.
Talk into the microphone. The meter needle shall move a little.
Release the transmit button and switch the channelselector to channel 1, 2 ectr,
until you receive a station.
Wait until this station stops to transmit and turn the Squelch control slowly to
max.
until the background noise just disappears.
When the station starts to
transmit again, you will hear this station, but you will not hear the background
noise during non transm itting periods.
