INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

■

Grounding

Ground the repeater through the [GND] terminal on 

the rear panel to prevent electrical shock, television 

interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI), and 

other problems.

For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap 

to a long earth-sunk copper rod.

Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and 

ground as short as possible.

L

We recommend attaching an coaxial arrester  

(User supplied) to the antenna to prevent lightning 

surges.

R

WARNING! NEVER 

connect the [GND] terminal 

to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could 

cause an explosion or electric shock.

■

Connecting a power source 

Connect a third-party DC 13.8 V external power source. The power source that meets the following conditions is 

preferable.

 • DC 13.8 V (Capacity: At least 9 Amps)

 •

 A power source with an over current protective line, and low voltage fluctuation or ripple.

L

Confirm that the repeater is turned OFF before connecting the DC power cable.
