(e.g. a ground wire parallel to a telephone line),

Double check all equipment for good ground and 
that all connections are clean and secure.
2.8 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
The Repeater is shipped securely crated for trans-
portation. When the Repeater arrives, ensure the 
crates remain upright, especially if storing the crates 
temporarily.
When unpacking the Repeater, check for any visi-
ble damage or problems caused by shipping. If there 
is obvious damage from shipping mishaps, file claims 
with the carrier. If there appears to be any damage 
caused before shipping, file a claim with Transcrypt 
International, Inc. Contact Customer Service for assis-
tance (see Section 1.8).
If everything appears undamaged, remove the
Repeater equipment from the crate, using normal pre-
cautions for unpacking.
NOTE: Do not discard the packing materials. If you 
must return an item, use the same packing materials 
and methods (including static protective bags for cir-
cuit cards) to repack the equipment. You are responsi-
ble for proper repacking. Transcrypt International, 
Inc. cannot be responsible for damage to equipment 
caused by negligence.
NOTE: Repeaters should not touch. Leave a mini-
mum of one empty screw hole (approximately 1/2") 
between repeaters vertically, especially for bottom 
ventilation slots in high power repeaters.
NOTE: Each repeater should be grounded separately 
by connecting a ground bus from the ground lug on the 
back side of the RF module to the ground bar on the 
rack (see Figure 2-7).
