3. Operating the transceiver.
Before applying power, make sure all connectors and all antennas
are properly connected.
NOTE
The transmitter will not transmit unless it has an antenna.
The transmitter has only 1 operator control (the on/off switch) and no
indicators (to allow for covert applications). The receiver also has the
same control and no indicators.
This product was primarily designed for covert/ secure
communication applications and therefore may seem to be lacking
some features. For OEM applications, please contact Avalon RF with
your requirements.
Follow the guidelines below to optimize the operating distance/range:
a) The transmit antenna’s location is vital to a radio link. Keep the
transmit antenna completely clear of any metal object or carbon
composite materials. If the transmitter is placed on a person’s
body, the transmit antenna should be placed to clear the body,
particularly the head.
b) To get the optimum range, the transmit antenna should be located
as high above the ground as the application permits.
c) The receive antenna should be generally in view of the transmit
antennas radiation pattern. If you have any doubts or concerns,
please call Avalon RF Engineering at (619) 401-1967.
d) Do not place the antennas in the vicinity of other antennas even
though they may be on different bands.
