Page 5: General Safety
General Safety The SiteOne instrument should only be used for its intended purpose and never be connected to cables carrying hazardous voltages. Never attempt to replace the LiIon batteries, unless you are a trained professional. Great care should be observed preventing polarity reversal and short circuit as the batteries may explode or catch fire. -
Page 6: Battery And Charging
Battery and Charging: The SiteOne features a built-in Li Ion battery pack comprising 2 x 2200 mAh. Charging is fully controlled and automated when using the supplied chargers or a standard USB connection. Full charge is reached after approximately 6 hours with the supplied chargers. The USB/5 Volt regulated charger supplied will allow the instrument to be operated directly from the charger and at the same time charge the batteries when plugged in. -

Page 22: Measurements
Measurements Connecting antennas: Observe the utmost care when connecting antennas via cables , as these cables can be connected to transmitters and/or power sources! Make sure you have chosen the antenna you intend to test!! Connection to transmitters and/or other sources can destroy the instrument or cause hazardous electri- cal conditions. -
Page 23: Calibration
antenna manufacturers instructions for details. Duplex operation When checking antennas to be used for duplex operation, make sure the antenna SWR is adjusted for the lowest possible SWR in both receive and transmit band. General hints Always refer to antenna manufacturers specification! Antennas may have more than one resonance frequency! A very narrow resonance frequency may indicate resonance of cable instead of antenna resonance (Cable bro- ken or shorted)! -
