8 Power Up Radio
The radio must be powered up within 48 hours after installation, even if it is not taken into service. The reason is to protect
the internal units from local climate conditions.

Do!
Products not connected to ground risk damage from overvoltage or overcurrent. Always ground products according to
instructions.

Steps

To power up the radio:

1. Make sure that the radio is grounded according to instructions.

2. Switch on the external power to the radio on both power


feeds.

9 Check Radio After Power Up


Once the power has been switched on, the radio is loaded with the specific software. Optical indicators show the status of
the radio.
For more information on interpreting the optical indicators on the radio, see Indicators, Buttons, and Switches.

Steps

1. Open the cover for the optical indicators.

Ge20289A

2. Check that the operation optical indicator for the radio and the
fan is green. If any red optical indicator is on, contact the OMC
for maintenance support.

After This Task


It is recommended to run the Antenna Return Loss Frequency Sweep feature, that validates the RF signal quality. For more
information, see Manage Hardware Equipment.
It is recommended to run the installation self-check, as described in Perform Basic Stand-alone Radio Installation Check.
This feature helps to identify potential connection faults or hardware faults of the radio.
