External Power Under-voltage or Over-voltage Alarm

Description
When the repeater detects that the voltage of the external power supply is out of range, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “E3” for under-voltage alarm or “EH” for over-voltage alarm. In this case, the repeater fails to work.

Solution

1. Check whether the power adapter is damaged.
   • If yes, replace the power adapter.
   • If no, go to step 2.

2. Check whether the input voltage of external power supply is beyond the repeater’s operating voltage range with a voltmeter.
   • If yes, replace the power adapter.
   • If no, contact your dealer for technical support

TX/RX Unlocked Alarm

Description
When the TX/RX phase-locked loop unlocks, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “E4” for TX unlock or “E5” for RX unlock.
In this case, the repeater automatically fails to provide certain features.

Solution
Contact your dealer for technical support.

PA Over-temperature Alarm

Description
When the repeater detects that the internal temperature of the PA module exceeds the upper threshold, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “E6”.
In this case, the repeater stops transmission.

Solution
CAUTION
When the repeater triggers this alarm, to avoid risk of burns, DO NOT touch the repeater.

1. Use the digital thermometer with thermocouple to check whether the surface temperature of the PA module is over 90°C.
   • If yes, go to step 2.
   • If no, go to step 3.

2. Check whether the ambient temperature and ventilation conditions of the repeater meet the installation requirements.
   NOTE
   For the high-power HR65X, besides the temperature and ventilation conditions, check whether the fan works and the heat exhaust duct is clean.
   • If yes, go to step 3.
   • If no, take appropriate measures (for example, install more heat sink devices, replace fans, or clean the duct)
   to reduce the ambient temperature and improve ventilation.

3. Check whether the TX power is too high and the temperature of heat sink is rising too fast.
   • If yes, go to step 4.
   • If no, contact your local dealer for technical support.

4. Check whether the RF adapter cable, antenna, or feed line is properly connected.
   • If yes, contact your dealer for technical support.
   • If no, re-connect or replace the cable, antenna, or feed line.

VSWR Alarm

Description
When the repeater detects the VSWR at the TX antenna of the PA module exceeds the upper threshold, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “E7 In this case, the repeater automatically works at lower TX power.

Solution

1. Check whether the TX frequency is within the frequency range of the antenna.
   • If yes, go to step 2.
   • If no, contact your dealer to replace the antenna.

2. Check whether the RF adapter cable, antenna, or feed line is properly connected.
   • If yes, contact your dealer for technical help.
   • If no, re-connect or replace the cable, antenna, or feed line.

Solution
Contact your dealer to extend the rental lease.

Slave Unregistered Alarm

Description

In the IP multi-site connect network, if the repeater works as a slave one and fails to send a registration request to the master repeater, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “E9”.
In this case, the repeater cannot repeat the signal or data in the IP multi- site connect network.

Solution
Check and modify the network configuration.

Repeater Disabled Alarm

Description
With the Repeater Disable feature enabled by your dealer, when the repeater detects the active level, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “EE”.
In this case, the repeater fails to work.

NOTE

• When the repeater detects the invalid level, the repeater restarts and returns to the normal state.
•  The repeater restarts every time the level changes.

Solution
Contact your dealer for technical support.

Low Forward Power Alarm

Description
When the repeater detects that the TX power is below the preset value of forward power, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “Eb”.
When the TX power is 0 W, the repeater stops transmission.

Solution
Check whether the RF adapter cable, antenna, or feed line is properly connected.

• If yes, contact your dealer for technical support.
• If no, re-connect or replace the cable, antenna, or feed line.

Network IP Conflict Alarm

Description

In this case, network services of the repeater are unavailable.

Solution
Check and modify the network configuration.

Invalid Network IP Alarm

Description

When the repeater fails to acquire valid IP address with DHCP, the alarm indicator glows red and the LED displays “H5”.
In this case, network services of the repeater are unavailable.

Solution
Check whether the network cable is properly connected.

• If yes, check whether the DHCP server is deployed.
• If no, reconnect the network cable.

Troubleshooting

The repeater cannot be turned on.

| The power cord may be disconnected or get loose.| Re-connect the power cord.

repeater may be inconsistent with that of the radio.

| Reset the frequencies or color code.
The continuous tone controlled squelch system (CTCSS)/continuous digital controlled squelch system (CDCSS) of the repeater may be inconsistent with that of the radio.| Reset the CTCSS or CDCSS.
The repeater may suffer severe interference.| Keep    the

interference frequencies.

| repeater source,| away or| from change| the the
The radio may be out of the communication coverage of the repeater.| Move the radio towards the communication coverage of the repeater.
The antenna is disconnected.| Reconnect the antenna.
Within  the communication coverage of the repeater, the radiosuffers short communication distance and poor

audio quality.

| The cable may be damaged.| Repair the cable, or replace the cable if necessary.
The antenna may get loose or be disconnected.| Re-connect the antenna properly, or replace the antenna if necessary.
