3 Basic Operation
3.1 Battery Select Switch
Warning When shipping and charging the transportable base
station, set the battery select switch to EXTERNAL AC/DC, BAT-
TERY ISOLATE to comply with safety regulations.
The battery select switch is protected with a raised red surround to avoid
accidental switching on when the lid is closed.

Warning Risk of missing calls! Switching between Internal Bat-
tery and EXTERNAL AC/DC, BATTERY ISOLATE will likely
cause the transportable base station to restart!
When the switch is set to Internal Battery, the transportable base sta-
tion runs from the internal battery only.
When the switch is set to EXTERNAL AC/DC, BATTERY ISOLATE,
the internal battery is disconnected from all circuitry in the transportable
base station. In this situation, all the circuits in the transportable base
station, including the repeater, can only run from an external DC or AC
supply.
When connected to a mains lead (AC supply), the repeater will run and
charge the battery if the battery switch is set to EXTERNAL AC/DC.
