 Repeater operation

Ask your dealer for details of the repeater’s program-
ming.

➥  

When the power is turned ON, the 

[PWR]

 indicator 

lights green. (p. 1)

➥  

The 

[TX]

 and 

[BUSY]

 indicators light simultane-

ously while transmitting or receiving a signal.

  • The 

[TX]

 indicator lights red.

  • The 

[BUSY]

 indicator lights green.

NOTE:

 A power amplifier protector is built into the 

repeater. The protector is activated when the re-
peater’s temperature becomes extremely high, to 
reduce the transmit output power level. The output 
power will return to its normal level when the re-
peater has cooled down.
