Page 18: Rf Ports
The SDR-ICS-43-6 can be connected to an ADRF-BBU (ADRF Battery Backup) to provide power during a power failure. If an ADRF-BBU is utilized, connect the ADRF-BBU to the SDR-ICS-43 via the external battery port. (WARNING: The circuit switch on the ADRF-BBU must be set to OFF before connecting the ADRF-BBU to SDR-ICS- 43-6 to prevent damage to the repeater or the ADRF-BBU and personal injury.) -

Page 22: Antenna Separation/Isolation
For example, if the gain of the repeater is 50 dB, then an isolation of 55dB or greater is required. In the same manner, because the SDR-ICS-43-6 has a maximum gain of 95dB in case of SDR-ICS-43-6, it requires isolation of at least 100dB. -
Page 23: Line Of Sight
WARNING: Inserting a CW signal into the SDR-ICS-43-6 when ICS is enabled will cause the system to generate a false alarm. The false alarm will cause the system to go into a shutdown state. If a CW signal needs to be injected into the repeater for testing purposes, the ICS routine must be turned off. -

Page 47: Appendix
9. APPENDIX Shutdown Retry Logic The function of the built-in shutdown routine is to protect the repeater from any further damage from a hard- fail that the system may be experiencing. Within 5 seconds of a hard-fail alarm being detected, the repeater will start the shutdown routine. The repeater will shut down by powering of the HPAs (high-powered amplifiers) for 30 seconds.
