OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
WARNING
Before assembling the multiplexer, turn off the power switches of all
transceivers and auxiliary receivers in the system.
CAUTION
Do not lay the multiplexer on its back or handle side. This may cause
damage to the rf connector, ground lug, or handle. Stand it up.
When removing the band-pass filter from the coupler, pull straight up
to avoid damage to the rf connector on the bottom of the band-pass
filter or its mating rf connector on the coupler. When carrying a
multiplexer, use the handle. When transporting a multiplexer, use the
multiplexer case.
WARNING
Insure couplers, band-pass filters, and termination units in all vacant
filter jacks are securely connected. Loose connections can cause rf
burns.
Assembly of the 2-channel multiplexer is similar to the 5-channel multiplexer, the difference
being in the number of band-pass filters and termination units.
