Solar-Powered Repeaters
Look for a location where you can position the solar panel to receive maxi-
mum exposure to the sun’s rays as follows: 
The solar panel works best when the surface of the panel receives 
full sunlight. Mount the panel away from fences, buildings, trees or 
other obstructions that may cast shadows over the panel. 
The solar panel should be mounted facing south in the Northern 
Hemisphere and north in the Southern Hemisphere for maximum 
sun exposure.
Testing Proposed Locations
Test your proposed transmitter, repeater and receiver locations to ensure      
successful data transmission as follows:
1. Make sure your transmitter and receiver are in position and are operating in test 
mode.
To place the transmitter in test mode, flip dip-switch #4 to “TEST” and then 
power it up. Verify that the receiver is in test mode. Please refer to your 
receiver manual to learn how to start the test mode. 
In test mode, depending on your model, the transmitter either beeps or 
flashes when it is transmitting and the receiver beeps or flashes whenever it 
receives data from the transmitter (approximately every 2.5 seconds if the 
signal is within range).
2. Place the repeater temporarily where you plan to mount it.
