INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS ■ Power ■ Mounting the repeater Make sure the [POWER] switch is turned OFF when connecting an AC power cable and a backup battery (emergency power supply). D Using the optional MB-78 The IC-FR3000/FR4000 series can operate with an AC or DC power supply. If AC power is interrupted when operating the repeater with an AC power supply, power is automatically provided to the [BATTERY] terminals.
2 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS • Top side installation q Remove the 1 screw (M4 × 8) from both side of the MB-78. t Remove the 2 screws (M4 × 8) from both side of the side panel (front-end). w Remove the handles from bottom bar. And turn the handles upside down, then replace the handles right side and left side. y Attach the MB-78 to the top side of the repeater. Then tighten the 1 supplied screws (M4 × 8) and 2 removed screws to each side.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 2 D Using the optional MB-77 An optional MB-77 WALL MOUNT BRACKET is available for mounting the repeater to a flat surface. RWARNING: NEVER mount the repeater on the • Mount the MB-77 securely with the 12 supplied screws (M6 × 30) to a surface which is more than 50 mm thick and can support more than 20 kg. The unit must be mounted on a flat hard surface only. MB-77 by yourself. At least two people are required to mount the repeater since it weights approx. 12 kg (26 lb).
3 OPTIONAL UNIT INSTALLATION ■ Opening the repeater’s case Follow the case and cover opening procedures shown here when an optional unit is installed or adjust the internal units, etc. CAUTION: DISCONNECT the AC power cable and/or DC power cable from the repeater. Otherwise, there is danger of electric shock and/or equipment damage. q Remove 6 screws from the top of the repeater and 4 screws from the sides, then lift up the top cover. w Turn the repeater upside down.
OPERATION 4 ■ Turning power ON q Push [POWER] to turn power ON. w If the repeater is programmed for a power on password by an Icom Dealer, input digit codes directly. • The keys in the table below can be used for password input. • The repeater detects numbers in the same block as identical. Therefore “01234” and “56789” are the same.
5 MAINTENANCE ■ Troubleshooting The following chart is designed to help correct problems which are not equipment malfunctions. If you are unable to locate the cause of a problem or solve it through the use of this chart, contact the nearest Icom Dealer or Service Center.
