2.4 Post Installation Checklist

After the base station/repeater equipment has been mechanically installed and all electrical

connections have been made, power may now be applied and the base station/repeater checked for

proper operation.

2.4.1 Applying Power

Before applying power to the base station/repeater, make sure all boards are securely seated in the

appropriate connectors on the backplane interface board and that all RF cables are securely

connected.

Turn ON the circuit breaker controlling the AC outlet that is supplying power to the base station/

repeater Power Supply Module, or switch on the DC-supply to a base station/repeater with a

DC Power Supply Module.

• Changing Fuse

To replace the base station/repeater fuse for failure, perform the following steps:

1. Turn off base station/repeater power at source (e.g., AC breaker).

2. Remove fuse cover plate located on the backplane interface board shield by unscrewing

one M4 screw.

3. Pull defective fuse carefully with a pair of small needle nose pliers.

4. Replace new fuse (6583049X16) carefully with a pair of small needle nose pliers.

5. Restore power to the base station/repeater.

2.4.2 Verifying Proper Operation

Operation of the base station/repeater can be verified by:

• observing the state of the six LEDs located on the front bezel, and

• exercising radio operation.

For continued protection of the base station/repeater against risk of fire, replace

the fuse only with the same type and rating of fuse.

Some base station/repeater components can become extremely hot during base

station/repeater operation. Turn off all power to the base station/repeater, and

wait until sufficiently cool before touching the base station/repeater.
