Backup Power Supply
For uninterrupted operation during power failures, a 12-volt rechargeable type battery (55-Ah or more recommended) may be connected to the BACKUP terminal posts on the rear panel.
In the event of an unexpected interruption of the Main DC Power Source, the automatic power control circuit will automatically switch the repeater to the backup battery, and operation will not be interrupted.
After prolonged operation from the battery, (Backup Power Source), it should be disconnected from the repeater and recharged separately before re-connecting.
Never reapply the Main Power Source to the repeater with a discharged battery connected as backup, as the DC startup current can damage the repeater and battery. While operating from a backup battery, the repeater requires approximately 7 amperes at 12 Volts during transmit.
Programmable Function Keys
There are six programmable function keys on the front face of the repeater. There are over 20 functions available for programming to these buttons. Each button can also have a secondary function for a total of 12 separate functions from a relatively simple layout. Functionality and ease of use.
Available Key Functions
Some of the available functions for these keys are:
Channel up/down
Audio Compander on/off
CTCSS/DCS toggle (on/off)
Send CW message (1 - 8)
KeyLock
Local PTT
Panel lights on/off
