Operation of the CopperHead FS-790 Transceiver

System

This chapter describes in detail the operation of CopperHead FS-790 Transceiver System. Please keep in mind
that a wide variety of options and variations are available, so not every possible operational environment can
be described. Variations in battery and powering, fiber cable connections and intercom allow for an
enormous number of slightly different operational modes.

The following topics are covered:

1) Set Up of the CopperHead FS-790 Transceiver System

2) Connecting and Managing the Fiber Cable

3) Connecting the Fiber Cable

4) Powering the System

5) Understanding Intercom usage with the CopperHead FS-790

6) Using the Digital Display

7) Using the Tally System

8) Standard Operation

9) Shutting Down the System

10) Troubleshooting
