6.4.1 Descriptions 
 
The PA unit consists the PA control unit, the PA unit(s), the main control unit, and the PS unit. 
NAH-296 has one PA unit. NAH-695 has two PA units. NAH-698 has three PA units. The PA 
control sprits the RF IN signal for each PA unit and combine the output from each unit when AC 
operation. At DC operation and tuning the PA control pass the RF IN through to RF OUT directly. 
The PS unit makes the +24V for battery charging and +BK, +80V for PA, +13.6V for transceiver 
unit, modem unit, DTE and printer. 
The PA unit makes the RBK signal from –BK signal. The RBK signal keeps low level 3 minutes 
more after –BK signal changes to high.
