OPERATION

3.1 Installation and Programming
71-506-10D can be installed to operate Fixed Station in any mode of operation. The antenna(s)
used for this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent structures. RF exposure is
addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s), including
antenna co-location requirements of §1.1307(b)(3).
The radio may also be used for mobile and transportable applications.
The 71-506-10D must be programmed before it will operate correctly. This is best done by the
equipment supplier or a competent radio engineer. They will require the correct programming kit
and a computer. Complete programming instructions are provided with the kit. If a duplexer is
used, please observe the maximum frequency range permitted by the duplexer notches.
It is important that the 71-506-10D be correctly installed at its working location. It is recommended
that this be done by a competent radio engineer.

•
Securely attach the mounting plate to the desired location.
•
Connect the DC Input power lead to a suitable 13.8 Volt Regulated DC Power supply that
has sufficient capacity. (Ensure that the DC Polarity is correct, otherwise the fuse will
blow).
•
Connect the antenna feed line(s). (Check that the VSWR of the antenna is acceptable).
•
Connect the Control System to the 25 position sub D connector.
