Power-up the LPOD

WARNING! NEVER TURN THE UNIT ON WITHOUT PROPER WAVEGUIDE

TERMINATION ON THE ‘J2 | RF OUT’ PORT. INDIVIDUALS CAN BE EXPOSED TO

DANGEROUSLY HIGH ELECTROMAGNETIC LEVELS.

The LPOD does not have a ‘Power On/Off’ switch. It is powered ON by connecting the ‘J3 |

POWER IN’ connector to the appropriate prime power source. The Mute or Transmit status of

the SSPA automatically comes up in the last stored state (factory default = Transmit on, not

muted).
