Greenfield Parkway Garner, NC U.S.A. 27529 Tel: (919) 329-8940 FAX: (919) 329-8950 ION-B TFBM17 Tune-up Procedure Gain for the ION-B TFBM17 Extension Unit is set at the factory and no provisions are made for user accessible controls. Output power is a function of the input power and the fixed gain of the TFBM17. The user should provide an input signal that will produce an output power not exceeding the levels included in the product data sheet for the medium power remote.
