Repeater Maintenance
Use the following maintenance routine on a regular basis to prolong the life of all
repeaters in your network.
• Replace batteries on a routine basis based on the number of transmitters
communicating with a single repeater. See the Battery Life Expectancy table in
Appendix A for more information. Also, use the console to determine when to change
repeater batteries (see “Battery Information on the Console” on page 30). See
“Applying Power” on page 11 for instructions on replacing the battery.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the solar power cell window and all surfaces of the repeater
box when replacing the battery.
• Open the repeater enclosure and remove any debris or buildup inside.
• Keep the repeater enclosure closed when not using it to avoid damaging the
components.
