Each control on the RX is explained in Receiver Controls starting on page 5
and is shown in Figure3, also on page 5. The TX and its setup are described
in Using the Transmitter on page13. The Quickstart: DSS-900-KT
Surveillance System on page1 contains an information overview on field use.
1. Verify that the transmitter is switched on.
2. Connect either the DC INPUT or AC INPUT to the appropriate power
source.
• The SYSTEM VOLTAGE will rise to about 14 VDC. It must not be
outside the range of 11 to 16 VDC.
• The RX ON LED will illuminate.
• The CHARGING LED will turn on and stay on as long as there is
power at either power input.
• If LOW turns on, the internal battery is discharged and you must
find an alternate power source. Do not begin a mission. The
battery will fully charge in 4 hours.
CAUTION The DSS-900-KT is designed for AC or DC operation.
The internal batteries in the RX are for temporary
emergency use only.
3. Check that a receiving antenna, either the patch or the mag mount,
isconnected at the RX ANTENNA BNC jack on the RX panel.
4. If you intend to use a headset for monitoring, plug in one or two
headsets now. The speaker will be disabled.
• Use only stereo headsets at these jacks.
5. If you want to make additional original recordings of the mission,
plugthe extra recorders into the VCR and SPARE RECRDR jacks.
