Required Power Supply
Required Power Supply

Danger of electric shock!
WARNING
The transceiver meets the requirements for Safety Class I in accordance

with DIN EN 61010-1/IEC 61010-1, e.g. all metal parts that can be touched
or accessed without removing the enclosure are connected to the protective
ground of the power supply network.
When connecting the instrument to the AC power supply, always use a
power cable with thermal connector and a socket with earthing contact.
WARNING
The radio contains a two-pole or neutral-conductor fuse. This means that

some parts of the radio will continue to be energized after the fuse has
been tripped.
When replacing the fuse, always disconnect the radio from the AC power
supply. Do not touch any live parts when performing service and maintenance on the radio while the radio is switched on (by qualified service personnel only).
ATTENTION
AC voltage
The external DC power supply should deliver a short-circuit current of

I 30 A to ensure that the overcurrent protective device functions properly
in the event of a malfunction.
The transceiver operates on an AC voltage.

When the transceiver is connected to the AC line, it automatically sets itself
to the correct voltage (AC voltage 115 V/230 V). There is no need to set the
voltage manually or change the fuse.
DC voltage
The transceiver may also be powered by an external battery (28 VDC). An

automatic switchover facility integrated in the radio provides for automatic
standby switchover in case primary power fails.
Note: See chapter 2.4 for basic cabling and further information.

Functions Description
Function of the
transceiver
The transceiver contains the R&S EU 4210 receiver module and the R&S
VU 4200 transmitter module, which is powered by the R&S IN 4240 power
supply unit.
Front panel
control unit
The front panel control unit A8 with LCD and keyboard A9 make local control of the radio possible on a lab bench or for activities such as installation
and maintenance. You can audio-monitor to the demodulated analog voice
in the receiver module at any time by using the built-in loudspeaker. The
RF signal issued at common antenna X3 is demodulated in the transmitter
module and can be audio-monitored at any time via the built-in loudspeaker too. You can control the volume by means of the volume control
on the front panel.
USB interface
You can configure and make basic settings for the radio via the USB interface on the front panel. In addition you can download software of all firmware components via the USB. The main backplane A6 which connects all
modules, contains a USB hub and connects the transceiver's USB interface controller with the front panel control unit A7.
Power supply
The main fan is controlled and monitored by control unit A8. The radio can
be powered by AC and/or DC voltage. If the AC source fails, the radio
automatically switches to the DC source. You can switch the radio on via
the switch on the front panel A7.
Display
LEDs indicate the current operating state at all times. You can display the
operating settings, radio configuration, analog measurement values and
status in detail on an eight-row LCD.
Audio interface
Receiver module:
On the system side the 600 audio interface RX Audio Basic X10 is
connected on the rear panel and the squelch state can be signalled here
via a contact. Remote control is performed as standard via the Ethernet
LAN interface Ethernet - LAN Remote Control X9 or the RS485 RX Audio Extended X11 using the powerful R&S remote-control protocol
GB2PP.
Transmitter module:
On the system side the 600 audio interface TX Audio Basic X5 is connected on the rear panel and the PTT keying is activated. You can flexibly
configure the PTT input via service PC and adjust it to the voltage conditions (-48, +28, optocoupler input) in the system. Remote control is performed as standard via the Ethernet LAN interface Ethernet - LAN Remote
Control X6 or the RS485 TX Audio Extended X7 using the powerful R&S
remote-control protocol GB2PP.

Extended DSUB
interface
Functioning
Receiver module:
The 15-contact extended DSUB interface RX Audio Extended X11 provides discrete digital control contacts as well as the analog output for RSSI
receive signal strength.
Transmitter module:
The 15-contact extended DSUB interface TX Audio Extended X7 provides discrete digital control contacts too.
Receive antenna
The receive antenna is connected at the BNC input "RX Input X8". The
receiver consists of the analog RF board A3 with its VCO/synthesizer and
600 audio interfaces as well as the digital interface module A5 with the
main VCXO/clock processing unit, DSP, LAN and USB controller. The
received signal is mixed and converted to the first intermediate frequency
(IF). The remaining processing is performed digitally, where the various
channel spacings 8.33 kHz/25 kHz and modulation schemes AM, ACARS,
D8PSK and GFSK are processed via the software.
Transmit antenna
The transmit antenna is connected at N connector X3. The transmitter

consists of power board A4 with 200 W pep output stage and analog/digital
board A1 with the main VCXO/clock processing unit, VCO/synthesizer,
600 audio interface, DSP, LAN and USB controller. The AM, D8PSK or
GFSK modulation signal is processed digitally in the baseband and transformed to the VHF output frequency via the I/Q modulator. The output signal of the transmit output stage is coupled out and linearized via the Cartesian I/Q control loop. Modules A4 and A1 are mounted on the high-power
heat sink and are cooled by the fan.
Main TCXO
The main TCXO on the A6 backplane board serves as the reference for
the radio and can easily be adjusted via the USB interface.

Control Interfaces
Operation
Operation can be performed locally on the built-in front panel control unit or
remotely via the LAN Ethernet interface. Operational parameters such as
setting the frequency, changing the channel spacing or activating presets
can be controlled. In addition the current status information and indications
such as GO, ACTIVE, SQ, CARRIER or VSWR can be received from the
transceiver and displayed.
Maintenance
Maintenance status parameters can be read out over USB, LAN Ethernet or
RS485 interface and the built-in front panel control unit. The transceiver
delivers the result of the continuous built-in test (CBIT) and the event list,
which saves all events with the time information of occurrence.
Maintenance activities can be performed and controlled via the built-in front
panel control unit and remotely via LAN Ethernet or RS485 interface. The
transceiver provides commands for switching over from main to standby
(and vice versa) and for performing a test transmission. In addition the device can be reset or the real time clock (RTC) can be initialized locally or
remotely.
Performance values
Performance values can be read out over the built in front panel control unit
or over the LAN Ethernet or RS485 interface. Parameters such as modulation depth, temperatures, voltages, power levels, receive signal, audio level
and VSWR can be measured.
Configuration
Configuration of the transceiver can be performed with the Service and

Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200, which runs on a standard PC or laptop.
Connected via service PC, the radio provides easy and fast configuration of
the radio basic parameters such as IP address, PTT timeout, power audiolevels and preset pages.
The configuration files can be saved and loaded to the transceiver. The
configuration process is very convenient and allows you to quickly configure
an entire rack. In case of service, the defective radio can be cloned and
the parameters loaded to a replacement radio.
Preset loading
Up to 200 preset pages can be loaded via USB or LAN Ethernet interface.
Inventory
All hardware and software components can be read out on all LAN Ethernet
and USB interfaces and are visible on the built-in display.
Software update
The R&S DS 4200 software is delivered as a CD ROM and contains all

software components, which are automatically loaded to the radio modules
via the USB interface. The Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200
provides a software download manager, crosschecks the hardware and
software and ensures a proper software download.

R&S XU 4200
Meaning of Parameters
TX Audio Level
This parameter refers to the modulation input (connector X5.2/3). With the
default setting, the modulation sensitivity is 0 dBm which means that at
an AF level of 775 mV at this 600 ohm input, the AM transmitter is driven
and modulated at 90 % modulation. The input can be configured from
-30 dBm to +10 dBm in accordance with the line infrastructure and the
incoming signal levels. The sensitivity is greatest at -30 dBm, which means
that the full modulation of 90 % is achieved even at a low level.
RX Audio Level
This parameter refers to the audio output of the AM receiver

(connector X10.2/3). With the default setting 0 dBm, an effective level of
775 mV is applied at 60 % AM modulation of the current receive signal.
The output can be configured from -30 dBm to +10 dBm in accordance
with the line infrastructure.
TX Output Power for

Selection Low
Using this parameter, you can define the transmit power between 5 W and
20 W. This value is then adopted with the Low setting (see chapter
3.4.7.2).
TX Output Power for

Selection Normal
Using this parameter, you can define the transmit power between 5 W and
50 W. This value is then adopted with the Normal setting (see chapter
3.4.7.2).
S/N Squelch
Threshold
The threshold value for the signal to noise (S/N) ratio can be set for the
squelch. If the squelch is activated, the RX audio output is muted until an
RF receive signal is applied. Receive signals with sufficient audio S/N ratio
are output at the receiver output.
The S/N threshold can be set in a range between 6 dB and 20 dB.
RSSI Squelch
Threshold
The RSSI threshold is based on the received signal level at the receivers
input. The RSSI threshold can be set in a range between 1V and 50 V.
S/N_RSSI_ Logical
Operation
It is possible to combine the S/N-squelch and RSSI-squelch. By default

both mechanism are OR conjunct. The squelch opens the audio path if
only one condition is fulfilled. In case of the AND conjunction both
thresholds must be exceeded in order to open the audio path.
Note: For offset reception it is recommended to configure the conjunction
type to OR.
TX AM Modulation
Depth
The modulation depth for the AM modulation can be set.

When the automatic level control (see TX Audio ALC parameter) is
activated, the set AM modulation is ensured over a dynamic range of
15 dB at the TX audio level interface (X5.2/3).
Note: The AM modulation should be left at 90 % all the time, since the
radio link is best at this value.

6125.0455.12.02
R&S XU 4200
TX Audio ALC

The automatic level control for the audio modulation can be switched on
and off.
When this function is activated, the set AM modulation depth (see TX AM
Modulation Depth parameter) is ensured over a dynamic range of 15 dB
at the TX audio level interface (X5.2/3).
Note: If an automatic level control is active in the system, then the level
control of the radio should be switched off.
RX Audio AGC
The automatic gain control in the AM demodulator can be switched on and

off. It ensures that the already demodulated signal is compensated for. In
the range from 30 to 90% modulation depth, the signal (RX Audio) remains
constant.
PTT Timeout
A time limit can be set for the transmit time. This prevents the radio from
transmitting for an unlimited amount of time if the PTT key is pressed
(stuck). With a value of 0 s, the time limit is switched off.
PTT Input
Configuration
There are three different input configurations for the rear PTT input
(connector X5.8/9).
Type I stands for optocoupler input.
Type II should be configured if the system ground (= ground of the PTT
key) does not have the same potential as the rack ground. In this case, the
PTT circuit is fed via the negative voltage of -48 V in the radio.
With the Rohde & Schwarz standard, a pull-up resistor is switched against
the positive voltage of +28 V in the radio.
True Sidetone
Transceiver
The built-in receiver demodulates the emitted signal of the transmitter and
a true sidetone is provided to the Audio RX output.
Depending on the configuration, the receiver in the housing is muted
during transmission. In this case, a true sidetone is not supplied.
ACARS Data Mode
With this parameter the radio can be configured for voice or ACARS data
operation (2400 Bps).
The Voice setting is optimized for voice processing and squelch muting.
The ACARS setting available for receiving ACARS data. In this case a
faster RF front-end control is in action. The attack and decay time is in
accordance with the ETSI EN 300676 standard.
If the radio is operating in ACARS data mode the 25 kHz spacing should
be used and the parameters RX Audio AGC and TX Audio ALC must be
deactivated.
5-Carrier Offset
The transmitter allows different frequency offsets to be set. Normally the

2-carrier,
3-carrier
and
4-carrier
offset
with
the
values
7.5 kHz/-5.0 kHz/-2.5 kHz/0 kHz/+2.5 kHz/+5.0 kHz/+7.5 kHz are available.
In addition the 5-carrier offset can be selected; this provides
-8 kHz/-4 kHz/+4 kHz/+8 kHz in the transmitter.
Set/Get Values for

Preset Page
200 preset pages can be stored in the radio and called up. Each contains
the frequency, offset (insignificant for RX module) and spacing parameters.
These parameters can be set for each preset page.

Installation Info
Information (up to 20 characters) can be entered to describe the radio

more precisely.
Location Info
Only the first 20 characters entered by using the ZS4200 appearing on the
radio display.
IP Address of Radio
Module
An IP address must be assigned for each radio module, which allows each
module to be uniquely identified and operated in remote operating mode.
Additionally specifying the netmask and the gateway makes it possible to
work within different subnets via a router.
IP Access Control List
Here you can enter the IP addresses of the remote control systems or
clients that are allowed to access the radio. This protects the radio against
unwanted/unknown accesses. If the list is blank (default), then any client
with any IP address can access to the radio.
RS485 Logical
Address
An address between 1 and 9999 must be assigned to each radio module.

The module is addressed on the RS485 bus under this logical address.
RS485 Baud Rate
The baud rate of the radios can be set. The baud rate set for the radio
(RS485 interface) must match the baud rate of the PC.
Main/Standby Type
The main/standby type declares if an radio should start up as an active

main radio or as an inactive standby radio. If the common AC- or DCsupply of a main/standby installation is powered up, then the radio will boot
accordingly.
Disabling Line
Interface in
Local Mode
In local mode, the rear and front panel audio inputs operate in parallel
(default). The rear panel audio line interface (including PTT) can be
disabled for the local mode. This allows independent use of the radio for a
service technician where unwanted radio keying from the system-oriented
PTT line input must be prevented.
Disabling Local Mode
You can disable the LOC button on the radio to prevent the radio from
being switched from remote mode to local mode.
MMI Local Timeout
Local Mode will be quit automatically if there is no further

activity on the front-panel radio keys or if local PTT (Push-To-Talk) is not
re-keyed any longer. Timeout can be set between 60 and 900 s.
Limit Ext. VSWR
The external VSWR limit specifies the voltage threshold for the analogue
input EXT-VSWR (X7.8). Especially for installations with external
circulators the voltage from an external SWR-detector can be connected to
the radio in order to generate CBIT warning 338. The external VSWR input
is only processed during active TX state.
Single Channel
Fixed frequency cannot be changed. Frequency must be configured before

activating this function.
3.13
6125.0455.12.02
R&S XU 4200
Motor Tuned Telsa
Filter

It is possible to connect an external motor tuned Telsa filter to the radio. In
order to active RS422 interface flow control the configuration must be
enabled The filter has to be connected to X7 (transceiver).
Note: The RS485 interface will be deactivated when the external motor
tuned Telsa filter is used.
Note: Enabling the external motor tuned Telsa filter will reduce the
frequency range.
Frequency Blocking
Ranges
Up to eight frequency blocking ranges can be defined. The device will

refuse any frequency set command done by the MMI local operation or via
remote control which is within this frequency blocking ranges.
The configured frequency blocking ranges have to fit to the radios frequency range 112-144 MHz and also to the 8.33 kHz channel spacing.
Local Mode Warning
The radio can be configured in such a way that pressing the LOC button on
the radio generates the CBIT warnings 336 and 415, which are output via
the connected remote system.
USB Connect Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that a USB access via a service
PC generates the CBIT warnings 335 and 414, which are output via the
connected remote system.
External VSWR
Warning
The radio could be configured in such way that if the limit external VSWR
EXT_VSWR (X7.8) is exceeded a warning will be generated.
The external VSWR CBIT warning 338 will be sent to the connected
remote control system if the external VSWR limit is exceeded.
DC-Battery
Supervision
The voltage during battery operation can be monitored. If the voltage is too
low, two responses in the radio can be triggered.
The Warning setting generates the CBIT warnings 301 and 401, which are
output via the connected remote system.
The NOGO setting sets the TEST_OC signal at the output
(connector X5.4) and initiates a switchover to the standby radio. This
setting is recommended if, for example, two separate DC networks are
used for the main and standby radios.
AC-Main
Supervision
The voltage during network operation can be monitored. If the voltage is

too low, two responses in the radio can be triggered:
The warning setting generates the CBIT warnings 302 and 402, which are
output via the connected remote system.
The NOGO setting sets the TEST_OC signal at the output
(connector X5.4) and initiates a switchover to the standby radio. This
setting is recommended if, for example, two separate AC networks are
used for the main and standby radios.
Note: If the AC-Main fails, operation automatically switches to the standby
radio. Otherwise the DC battery of the main radio would be
unnecessarily discharged.
TX Power Low
Warning
6125.0455.12.02
If the power is 3dB lower than expected the radio will generate the NOGO
warning 323 and will request for main/standby over switch via TEST_OC
X5.4(transceiver).
3.14

VSWR Warning
R&S XU 4200
The VSWR on the transmitter output (X3) is monitored during operation. If

the VSWR is higher than 2 a NOGO warning will be generated.
The NOGO warning VSWR 331 will be sent to the connected remote
control system if the VSWR on the transmitter is above 2.
The warning can be configured as NOGO warning in orderd to request a
main/standby over switch via TEST_OC X5.4 (transceiver).
PSU Fan Warning
The rotation of the power supply fan is internally monitored and will cause
a warning if it is not running as expected.
The NOGO warning PSU fan 202 will be sent to the connected remote
control system if the power supply fan is not working well.
Main Fan Warning
The rotation of the main fan is internally monitored and will cause a NOGO
warning if it is not running as expected.
The NOGO warning main fan 104 will be sent to the connected remote
control system if the main fan if the radio is not working well.

Note: If the radio is set to local mode (LOC), remote control commands will
be refused. Local mode has the highest priority and interrupts any remote
control fixed sessions. Parameters can only be monitored remotely when
the radio is in local mode.
When the radio is in the local mode, you can connect a headset and power
up the transmitter by pressing the PTT key at any time.
In the receive mode, the front panel receiver audio signal is always audible.
In other words, the internal loudspeaker and the headset audio connector
are always active and the volume of the two can be controlled by the assigned potentiometer.
All parameters and measurements can be displayed in the remote and local
mode.

LOC Key
Function on radio
The LOC key enables you to switch between local and remote mode at any
time independently of the current menu. The local mode has priority over
remote accesses, i.e. a remote fixed session over the LAN Ethernet interface will automatically be terminated if you select local mode by pressing
this key. If you press the key a second time, local mode will be terminated,
at which point a remote client must re-initiate the session to the device (or
to the modules).
Deactivation
You can deactivate the LOC key from the service PC (USB configuration),
thus blocking local mode altogether (protection from improper use).
Key operation messages
By using the service PC (USB), you can configure whether a local access
leads to a warning message or not. The local mode state would then be
reflected in the CBIT status. In addition the start and end of the local mode
will be stored in the event log together with time information. If applicable,
this information will also be sent to the fault management system.

Requirements for Proper Functioning
This chapter
This chapter provides information about the cabling and configuration of the
radio pair for the main/standby operation.
1.
2.
3.
Cross-connect the sum test outputs (TEST-OC) and *OFF (X10 or X5

transceiver) inputs of the two devices by using the cabling described in
Fig. 3.43.
Use the R&S ZS4200 to configure one of the two devices as Main
(=A) and the other one as Standby (=B) unit.
The R&S ZS4200 has to be used also for the NOGO configuration.
The following settings have to be done in the local mode or via the
remote control system.
Both radios (in transceiver radios: the four radio modules 2x TX and 2x
RX) have to be set to "AUTO" via the remote control command
"MS_AC" or they could be configured to activation state "ON" in the local mode (see Fig. 3.46).
After leaving the local mode, the device will automatically switch to the
"AUTO" mode and will be ready for the main/standby over switch (see
Fig. 3.47). In this case input *OFF will be activated enabled (X5.7 on
transceiver).
Note: If one radio is in local mode while the other one is in remote mode,
then the local operated radio is active and the second one is inactive. Constellation remains even when the local mode is left. The main/standby over
switch capability of the radio pair is now available in remote mode or noncontrolled mode.

Behaviour of the Main/Standby Configuration with Power

On
This chapter
Both radios have to be powered up. If there is no failure, the radios are
booting and will get into the following state. The radio configured as "Main"
has to indicate the "GO" and "VOP" LEDs and shows the status "ACT" on
the display, the radio CBIT status is "OK". The second radio configured as
"Standby" has to indicate the "GO" LED while the "VOP" LED remains dark.
In addition, the display shows the status "INACT" and the CBIT status
shows a warning (warning 101 INACTIVE W). The figures above show the
radios displays after booting. The second radio is ready for main/standby
over switch.

Device in remote control mode activation state AUTO
Behaviour at Remote Control
This chapter
When the command "MS_GO" was sent via remote control, the radio
switches to ACTIVE state irrespective of the previous state. Refering to the
settings mentioned above, the radio which got this command becomes
active and the partner device (cross-connected via X5) becomes inactive.
The "MS_GO" command is ignored by the radio if at least one of its modules is set to OFF state. A radio can be set to OFF or to AUTO state using
the "MS_AC" command. When the command "MS_AC" with the parameter
OFF was sent via remote control, the radio switches to INACTIVE state
irrespective of the previous state. The partner device (X5 or X10 for transceiver) gets ACTIVE if it is in AUTO state.
There are different ways to switch between the radio states. Using the
remote control mode, it is possible to send the "MS_GO" or "MS_AC"
command to toggle the radio state. In the manual mode, it is possible to
press the "LOC" button to get the radio into the inactive state. After leaving
the local mode, the radio will keep this state.
Note: More details about the Main/Standby and remote control are provided in the LAN Interface Control Document available on demand from
Rohde & Schwarz at extra charge (order no. 6133.8745.00).

Behaviour in Case of Device Errors
This chapter
If an error or NOGO warning occur on the "Main" radio the "Standby" radio,
will be activated via the TEST_OC line. The "Standby" device will
become active and switch the "Main" radio inactive by serving the crossconnected *OFF line. The device pair is now settled in a stable state.
Even if an error or NOGO warning disappear on the inactive "Main" radio,
the "Standby" radio will stay active. In the case that there will be an error on
the active "Standby" device, an over switch to the "Main" radio could be
done.

The Telsa Automatic Cavity Filter is optional hardware equipment and is not
contained in standard shipment. For using the Telsa Automatic Cavity Filter
together with R&S XU4200 radio, the filter must be connected to radios
RS485 interface. In case of a transceiver R&S XU4200 the filter must always be connected to the TX-module via X7. Additionally the filter has to be
activated in the radio using the R&S ZS4200 Service and Maintenance
application.
Note: The R&S XU4200 supports the Telsa Automatic Cavity Filter (VHF
Automatic Cavity Filter T05120410).

Note: If the filter is used, the standard RS485 remote control interface
functionality of the radio is automatically disabled.
Note: Enabling the external motor Telsa filter will reduce the frequency
range (118 to 143.975 MHz).

CAUTION
Do not directly touch the rear panel during or soon after operation.
ATTENTION
Cabling check
If a connector shows any discoloration caused by heat, the mating connector is also defective and must be replaced, too.

2.
Check external cabling between the complete transceiver and external

equipment.
Check all connectors for good contact and the cables at the rear for
mechanical damage.
If necessary, replace cables with new ones, one at a time, until the
defective connection has been found.
Note: Obvious damage of minor importance can be eliminated on the
spot, provided that the appropriate equipment is available. In case of
severe damage, the transceiver must be sent to the nearest repair facility.

Checking the CBIT State
Displayed warnings
and/or error messages
For detection of device and system failures, continuous built-in test (CBIT)
functions are implemented in the equipment.
The CBIT starts directly after switching on the transceiver.
Warnings and/or error messages produced during ongoing operation

are displayed in the CBIT STATUS menu (see chapter 3.4.7.5).
When malfunctions (warning or error message) are detected, the
failure is signalled to the connected remote control unit.
CBIT always indicates the existing state, which means that as long as a
message is being indicated by CBIT, this problem persists.

Scheduled Maintenance
Scheduled Maintenance
Inspecting
the air intake
Inspect the air intake on the front panel for dust build-up and clean it if
necessary. The inspection interval depends on the environmental
conditions under which the transceiver is operated.
Note: Due to the long service life of the fan, besides cleaning no regular
maintenance is required here. The speed of the fan is monitored by means
of the continuous built-in test (CBIT), and a warning is promptly generated
(see chapter 4.2).
TCXO Adjustment
Due to the natural aging of the crystal oscillator (TCXO) it is advisable to

check the frequency offset after the first year of operation and readjust it if
necessary. We recommend a further adjustment interval of 3 years in order
to ensure the specified frequency accuracy.

Test procedure
DUT is controlled via R&S ZS 4200 (see chapter 3.3).
The minimum warm-up time is 1 minute for the TCXO.
Test frequency:
120 MHz (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
Power level set:
Low (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
Mode:
AM (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
Radio is keyed ON, e.g. via function Test PTT, which delivers an
unmodulated SW signal (see chapter 3.4.7.4.1).
Measure frequency at antenna X3 and adjust TCXO value using

R&S ZS 4200 (see chapter 3.3).
The step width (1 bit) for the adjustment is approximately 10 Hz. Adjust
only in small steps and do not detune the TXCO to the extreme
positions, because the internal reference on the RF module could
unlock here. (CBIT error 315, see chapter 4.2.1).
Nominal value
6125.0455.12.02
TCXO f 0.2 ppm (corresponds to 24 Hz at 120 MHz).

Cleaning

R&S XU 4200
Cleaning
Danger of burns on rear panel!
CAUTION
Do not directly touch the rear panel during or immediately after operation.
CAUTION
Wear goggles when working with compressed air in order to avoid injuries.
ATTENTION
Direct compressed air first toward ground until no more condensed water is
contained in the air jet.
Keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between compressed air and transceiver.
Preparation
Cleaning
Such measures involve cleaning and touching up slight blemishes in the

varnish coat of the transceiver. The following materials are required:
Soft brush
Duster
Cleaning compound, e.g. suds, household detergent
1.
2.
3.
First clean the surfaces of the unit with compressed air.

Continue cleaning with a soft brush or a duster.
Clean heavily contaminated surfaces, especially grease stains, with a
soft, lint-free cloth moistened with suds.
