Safety & Warnings
Use ONLY the specified AC voltage described on the AC power socket. Other voltages may cause repeater damage or personal injury. DO NOT expose the repeater to rain, snow, or any liquids. DO NOT apply an RF signal of more than 20 dBm (100 mW) to the antenna connector, as this could damage the repeater’s front end. Before disassembling the repeater, ensure the problem is internal. DO NOT open the repeater until it is disconnected from the AC outlet. DO NOT force any variable components; turn them slowly and smoothly. DO NOT short any circuits or electronic parts; use an insulated tuning tool for all adjustments. DO NOT keep power ON for a long time when the repeater is defective. DO NOT transmit power into a signal generator or a sweep generator. ALWAYS connect a 40 dB or 50 dB attenuator between the repeater and a deviation meter or spectrum analyzer when using such test equipment. READ the instructions of test equipment thoroughly before connecting equipment to the repeater.
