Repeater operation

turn on/turn off the repeater
Press “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, and automatically control the transmitter (excitation module and power amplifier module) to transfer, which will enhance the received signal to increase communication 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 analog signal.

Panel keyboard 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 programme 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 “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 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 number, you need to input this password.
   •  Hang up a password: when the calling is over, the repeater need to input this pasword to hang up.
   • Embedded password: The repeater default calling out number.
   •  Only digital channel can use the telephone call function, and choose microphone PTT function, transmit prior option, wireless priority.
2. Two-way radios’ configuration
3. Handsets must be digital and support PSTN function, we use HYT PD680 as a example. 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.
4. enter menu options: general setting, digital general, basic setting, do not choose Miscellaneous, use single call, back call and all call.

Answer and make a phone call

1.  handset make a phone call (for example: call out 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 two way radios’ keyboard at the same time, then release 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 other 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.
2. 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.
3. 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#).
