Repeater operation

turn on/turn off repeater

Press “the power switch to the ”one” direction to turn on, then the speaker will make a sound, the ‘PWR’ indicator turning red, device start working, the system is going to stand-by condition.

Audio, data transmit

Repeater receive the upstream RF signal, automatically control the transmitter (excitation module and power amplifier module) to transfer, which will enhance the received signal to increase communicate distance.

Indication of transit

1. ‘A’ and ‘B’ indicator turning light when device is working, indicate the signal is digital,TS1 is during communication when ‘A’ turning light,TS2 is during communication when ‘B’ turning light.
2. ‘TX’ and ’RX’ indicator turning light or ‘A’ and ‘B’ not turning light, indicate the signal is analogue signal.

Panel key board and display

Key tone

1. Operate to modify working parameter and operate optional menu key, once “beep” informed.
2. Operate parameter error and operate invalid, continual short “beep” sound informed.

Programming software operation

1. program wire joint Run R-80 program software installation package, then it will automatically install
2. Configure the setup parameters Repeater connect with PC through USB program cable, open up the repeater power supply after the device being normal working condition, run the R-80 software to the interface bellowed:

Please refer to the “R-80 digital repeater software operation instruction manual” to set up channel, receive and transmit frequency, power, color code and monitor, PTT and so on.

Two-way radio calling

Repeater configuration

1. Find “telephone system” in R-80 program software, configuration as bellowed:

• Calling settings: according to to need to set whether opening call for or not, default yes: available for call in or call out.
• Call-in password: when others call the repeater telephone number, they will need to input this password.
• Call out password: when you need to call others telephone numbers, you need to input this password.
• Hang-up password: when the calling is over, the repeater needs to input this password to hang up.
• Embedded password: The repeater default calling out a number.

1. Only digital channel can use the telephone call function and choose the microphone PTT function, transmit prior option, and wireless priority.

Two-way radios configuration

• Handsets must be digital and support PSTN function, we use HYT PD680 as an example.

1. Choose the telephone system under handset digital channel configuration parameter, telephone system one (if you choose none, PSTN can not calling), transmit permission options: allow transmit or color code idle, do not choose channel idle.
2. enter menu options: general setting, digital general, basic setting, do not choose Miscellaneously, use single call, back call and all call.

Answer and make a phone call

1. handset make a phone call (for example: call out the password is: 222)

• Dial any number: press the PTT button, input :call out password+ * + phone number + #. For example, call 26000000, firstly, press the PTT button, input 222+26000000 on the two-way radios’ keyboard at the same time, then release the PTT button, after a few second, you can see the radios send the phone call from the display, then you can have a call if another side answer.
• Dial embedded number: press PTT buttons on two way radios, input call out password+ #, for example, the embedded number is 075526000000, firstly, press the PTT button, input 222# on keyboard, then release PTT, after a few seconds you can have a call with 075526000000.

1. Handsets (repeater) answer the call (the call in password is :111 ) If other side use the plane or phone to call the handsets (repeater), after get through you need to input call password+#(111#), then you can have a call.
2. Handsets(repeater) hang up the phone, ( the hang up password is 333 etc): When the call is over, if the other side not hang up, the repeater will hang up itself, the operation is : press the PTT, then input: hang up password +# (333#).

Panel operation
