Setup guidelines

 

22.1

Environmental conditions

 

Although the receiver has a dust and moisture sealed housing, you must take 
reasonable care to protect the unit from extreme environmental conditions. Do not:

use the unit where temperatures are likely to rise above 60 °C (140 °F) or fall 
below –20 °C (–4 °F). See also temperature specifications on 

page 32

.

immerse the unit in water 

expose the unit to corrosive fluids and gases

22.2

Sources of electrical interference

 

Avoid the following sources of electrical and magnetic noise:

Gasoline engines (spark plugs)

Televisions and PC monitors

Alternators and generators

Electric motors

Equipment with DC-to-AC converters

Fluorescent lights

Switching power supplies

22.3

General guidelines

C

WARNING – 

These receivers use a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. To avoid personal 

injury or equipment damage, make sure that you read and understand the 

Safety 

Information

 at the front of the manual.

The following guidelines apply whenever you set up the receiver for operation:

When disconnecting a LEMO cable, grasp the cable by the sliding collar or 
lanyard and then pull the cable connector straight out of the port. Do not twist 
the connector or pull on the cable itself.

To securely connect a TNC cable or antenna, align the cable connector with the 
receiver receptacle and then thread the cable connector clockwise onto the 
receptacle until it is snug. 

To insert the internal battery, place the battery in the battery compartment, 
ensuring that the contact points are in the correct position to align with the 
contacts in the receiver. Slide the battery into the receiver until the battery 
compartment latches are locked into position.
