CAUTION
Transmitter power (
TX Power
) can only be measured through the Test
Set’s RF IN/OUT port. Verify that the signal connected to this port does
not exceed the limits printed by the port.
not exceed the limits printed by the port.
If you hear a loud “warbling” sound from the Test Set, turn off your
transmitter immediately! This is the over-power alarm, warning that
instrument damage may occur. Caution: Turning the Test Set off at this
point does not protect the internal circuitry. Also, removing the cable
from the RF IN/OUT port without turning the transmitter off may
damage your transmitter or power amplifier (due to an impedance
mismatch).

60 mW). Never attempt to measure a transmitter’s power directly
using the ANT IN port, as instrument damage may occur.
The DUPLEX OUT port is only used to provide RF signals to the base
station’s receive port(s). It must not be connected to the base stations
