Telex ur-700 Marine Radio User Manual


 
The RF light on the receiver should now be illuminated. Turn on the
audio (mic) switch. Speak into the microphone and adjust its gain so
that the Audio Meter on the receiver just illuminates the 0 (or yellow)
light on the loudest sounds.
If necessary, vary the line level on the back of the receiver to suit your
equipment.
Walk the transmitter through the expected use area to check for
“drop-outs”. To minimize the chance for drop-outs, read the section
on antenna placement.
Antenna Placement
The antennas and UR-700 should be placed in a location with a clear
“signal path” to the transmitter. This “path” should be as short and
free of obstructions as possible. Obstructions, such as walls, ceilings,
and metal objects, will reduce range and performance.
Do not rack mount the UR-700 with the antennas attached
directly on the back of the unit. This will severely decrease the
range and performance of the system.
Antenna Placement for Optimum Range and Rack Mounting
For better range and when rack mounting, the antennas must be
located on the front of the rack mounts or use optional ground
independent antennas and remote mount them. See the accessories
section of this manual for cable kits to front mount the antennas.
Remote mounting antennas will increase the effective reception range
when appropriately positioned. The two 1/4 wave antennas supplied
are not ground independent and therefore not appropriate for remote-
mounting. See the accessories section of this manual for remote-
mountable antenna options.
