PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be
observed when operating this device. If you have any
questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards
please refer to the Federal Communications Commission
Office of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
R NEVER apply AC to the [DC13.8V] connector. This
could cause a fire or ruin the repeater.
R NEVER apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V
battery, to the [DC13.8V] jack on the repeater. This could
cause a fire or ruin the repeater.
R NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any in-
ternal part or connectors on the repeater. This may result
in an electric shock.
AVOID using or placing the repeater in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).

CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS
■ Connections
RDANGER
ID-RP1 is intended for professional installation only.
We are not responsible for any building breakage, any
damage resulting from a drop of ID-RP1 from a high
place or unstable site or resulting from any personal
injury nor any accident in any other cases. If ID-RP1 is
must be installed at such high place or unstable site,
be sure to consult an expert engineer.
IMPORTANT: Use the supplied connection cables
ONLY. NEVER extend the cables— system or com-
munication error may occur.
✔
For your convenience
A label (“” mark in the diagram above) is attached
near the connector on the supplied coaxial cable to
specifying the connection for guidance.
*Connecting connector can be selected with the ID-RP1D
maintenance application. (See page 19) Before operating
the repeater system, programming is necessary for both the
ID-RP1D and the ID-RP1VS.

CAUTION!: NEVER turn the ID-RP1L power ON
without connecting the parabolic antenna. The IDRP1L starts transmission after power ON. Transmission without antenna may damage the ID-RP1L.
IMPORTANT: After the connections, turn the IDRP1D power ON first to prevent system error.
