Connectors and cables
Do not force plugs in place, as this may damage the pins in the plugs. Do not pull the cables when removing connectors from the TR-810, take instead a firm grip around the connector, press in the locking pin and pull.
Display and front panel Avoid touching the display with sharp objects, as scratches can reduce the visibility.
Storage and safe handling Storage temperature is between -40C to + 70 C. Cleaning of the equipment can be done with a cloth soaked in a mixture of ordinary dish­detergent and water.
1. Do not place liquid-filled containers on top of the equipment.
2. Immediately turn off the power if water or other liquid leaks into the equipment.
Continued use of the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock. Contact Jotron AS for service.
3. Immediately turn off the power if the equipment is emitting smoke or fire.
4. Do not operate the equipment with wet hands.

The Scroll/Select switch together with the navigation buttons, A, B and C, are used to navigate through the menus. The Scroll/Select switch has three actions: It can be turned clockwise, anti-clockwise, or momentarily pressed. In general the use of the navigation buttons are:
A has two functions: Select Channel or One step back B has two functions: Squelch on/off or Enter/Confirm a selected submenu C has two functions: Enter Main menu or Power on/off SW Scroll/Select right: Increase a value (up) SW Scroll/Select left: Decrease a value (down) SW Scroll/Select press: Enter/Confirm
The user interface will indicate which navigation button to use.
3.1.3 ON/OFF button
Navigation button C. To switch the transceiver ON, press and hold button for 1 second. To switch the transceiver OFF, press button once to enter the Main menu. Then press and hold the button for 5 seconds.
3.1.4 Front Mic/Headset connector
The front Mic/Headset connector is used for multiple purposes. First it is used to connect a microphone and/or a headset to the front module of the transceiver for local operation. The headset output contains the sidetone generated from the output of the transmitter together with the received audio when the transmitter is not keyed. In addition the Mic/Headset connector has a RS232 serial line that can be used to control radio parameters from an external unit, or to upload new firmware into the radio unit for future upgrades. A service dongle can be inserted to access the service menu.

4.5 Antenna connectors
The antenna should be of good quality with regards to gain and VSWR to obtain maximum performance. Make sure that the VSWR on the antenna is low, and that the cable from the transmitter to the antenna is of good quality to avoid mismatch and unnecessary losses. A cable loss of 1 dB is the same as reducing the power output of a 10W transmitter to less than 8.5W. Similarly, a cable loss of 2 dB is the same as reducing the output power to less than 7W.
In areas were thunderstorms and lightning is a problem, surge arrestors should be mounted between the antenna connector and the antenna cable. The arrestors should be of good quality and be capable of handling the output power of the transmitter.
The antenna input of the transceiver is the BNC-type antenna connector on the back of the transceiver unit.
4.6 DC connection
Refer to chapter 2.1 for voltage limits.
4.7 Remote signals
Several remote signals are available on the rear interfaces of the transceiver unit. These signals can be grouped into: Audio signals, Key signals and I/O signals. Note, for all interface signals, RJ45 connectors are used. As far as practically possible, the pairs used on a standard ethernet connection are used when a signal is input/output as a pair to the radio (e.g. audio lines).
For interconnections between the front module and transceiver unit, standard Cat5E, ethernet cable should be used. This is a good quality, screened cable, with 1 to 1 connections between the two connectors.
Refer to chapter 3.1.4, 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 for an overview of the different connectors.
The following audio remote signals are available on the rear connectors:
Monitor out: Monitor signal, usually connected to a recording unit.
Microphone input: MIC II connector for connection of microphone at the rear of the
transceiver unit. See Table 4.7-1 for menu settings.
Loudspeaker output: For connection of an external loudspeaker. See Table 4.7-1 for menu settings.

5 Operating Instructions
5.1 Introduction
To set up the TR-810 transceiver unit, various parameters can be selected from the front panel. This section details how this is done and the range of all parameters. Since the transceiver unit contains no manual tuning points or switches, all parameters can in principal be set from the front panel, however except in some rare occasions, most parameters should be left at their default (factory preset) values. There are 2 user levels that can be selected to limit the user access to certain parameters. A service level for technical people can be entered by inserting a dongle into the front connector.
These user levels are:
Restricted Limits front panel operation to select preset channels and adjust
audio output levels, turn the squelch on/off and change the display appearance. Use this level when the radio is used in cases where the user should be restricted to use preset channels only (0 – 63).
Operation Same as restricted, but in addition the local user has full access to
change and store channel names, the squelch operating level and frequencies.
Technician This level gives the local user access to the most used installation
specific parameters (line levels, output power, etc.) and should be used only for installation or maintenance of the transceiver.
In the following section, these symbols and abbreviations are used to explain navigation in menus / setting of values:
Scroll/Select switch = Navigation button A (top left button) = Navigation button B (middle left button) = Navigation button C (on/off button) = Clockwise = CW Counter Clockwise = CCW

5.1.1 Note on frequency setting
The frequency is set according to the procedure described in ICAO annex 10. This is a way of setting the frequency in a mixed 8.33* and 25 kHz environment. The frequency set does not always reflect the actual transmit or receive frequency but is the frequency used to orally communicate the frequency between controllers and pilots. The frequency and bandwidth used are in accordance with the table below:

6 Error conditions and corrective actions
When the internal BITE (Built In Test Equipment) in the transceiver unit detects a failure, the alarm indicator on the front module display will be lit. Details about the fault that caused the alarm are accessible for the technician. See chapter
5.7.
The technician can access the BITE measurements to get more detailed information about the cause of the alarm. If the TR-810 stop functioning for internal reasons, the whole transceiver unit has to be replaced.
