receiver to a different earth ground. Cold water pipes or a grounding rod usually make a good
earth ground. The grounding wire should be heavy copper with as short and straight a run as
possible. Avoid sharp bends in the ground wire because a large power surge might arc across
the bend.
The terminator cards and their connection to the receiver cabinet provide the ground source
for the receiver's circuit boards. Firmly tighten all the screws used to secure the terminator
cards to the back of the receiver cabinet.
Notice!
i
If the mounting bracket screws are not tight, the receiver's operation can be erratic. A short
circuit or foreign voltage induced into the system can cause the receiver to fail.
Put an anti-static mat in front of the receiver to prevent electrostatic discharge from the
operator to the equipment.

Radio Frequency Interference

The D6600/D6100IPv6 is microprocessor based. All microprocessors are susceptible to radio
frequency interference (RFI), especially at the 480 MHz and 950 MHz bandwidths used by
walkie-talkies. Do not operate a walkie-talkie near a receiver.

Test Communicator

Periodically check your receiver and its telephone lines by using a digital communicator
triggered by an interval timer. If you have more than one data line, use a communicator for
each line or use a multiple number communicator.
