Turn on power and perform power checks
When the checklist is done and you are confident that the equipment
is installed correctly, turn on the power and perform power checks.
❑ Once the RAU has powered up and acquired the Globalstar
system, you will hear a dial tone from the telephone receiver.
❑ Use a multimeter, or the equivalent, to ensure that the voltage
at the junction box is between 10.5 and 16 VDC.

POWER. Do not apply 12 volt power until all electrical
connections are made. Do not allow the +12 volt line to contact
the ground wire or any other metallic object. Should a short
occur, there is a risk of injury, fire, damage to the power supply,
and explosive venting of any backup battery.
W arning
FUSE. For continued protection against the risk of fire, replace
a blown RAU fuse only with an identically rated, certified fuse.
The fuse is an IEC certified 3 A, 250 volt, 5 X 20 fast-acting
ferrule fuse contained in a fuse holder. The fuse is underneath
the front RAU access cover.
Final check
If needed, do the following:
❑ Close and lock the RAU.
❑ Close and lock the junction box.
❑ Secure the cables to the pole.
❑ Inside the building, connect the telephones to the telephone
jacks.
