D 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/receiving a signal.
• The [TX] indicator lights red.
• The [BUSY] indicator lights green.
NOTE: A power amplifier protector is built-in to the
repeater. The protector is activated when the re-
peater temperature becomes extremely high due
to the frequently access to the repeater to reduce
the transmit output power level. The output power
will return to the normal level when the repeater
has cooled down.
