Unpacking The following items are includ ed with our RCI-5054DX/5054DX-100. Carefully remove and examine all mate rials from the packing carton. If any items are missing or appear da maged, please contact your dealer immediately. Each unit should include: (1) RCI-5054DX/5054DX-100 Transceiver (2) Dynamic Microphone with remote frequency adjustment switches (3) Power Cord (4) Mounting Bracket & Hardware (5) Installation Hardware (6) Owner's Manual (7) Warranty Registration Card It is recommended that you save the packing materials for future storage or shipping. IMPORTANT To operate this radio, you must possess and amateur radio operator's license issued by the FCC. Oper ation of this unit without proper licensing is ILLEGAL and can result in severe penalties. NOTE The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s au thority to operate this equipment. - 4 - Chapter 3 Installation The RCI-5054DX/5054DX-100 is easy to install. All necessary parts (less the antenna and coax cable) have been included to facilitate installation. Transceiver Mounting Choose a suitable location for the transceiver that will allow easy access to the front panel as well as proper air circulation to the back of the unit. If you are installing the unit in a vehicl e, attach the mounting bracket first, then attach the transceiver to the mounting bracket using the hardware provided. Before making any electrical connection, ensure that the transceiver is turned off and the vehicle's battery is disconnected. Power Connection The transceiver operates off of any 12 to 13.8 VDC source. Beware of voltage drops caused by operating fr om Cigarette Lighter Plugs or long DC wire runs. Sometimes it is best to connect direct to the battery for best RF output and Tx audio quality If an AC power supply is u…

ENGINEERING STATEMENT In Regard to Measurements on Model No. RCI-5054DX-100 RANGER COMMUNICATIONS INC. FCC ID: C2R5054DX100 A. INTRODUCTION Hyak Laboratories, Inc. has been authorized by Ranger Communications Inc. to perform measurements on a receiver to determine compliance with FCC rules, Part 15, Para. 15.109. The receiver operates in the 50 - 54 MHz band and is in- tended for use as a 6 meter amateur radio receiver. B. DESCRIPTION OF RECEIVER The device incorporates a dual conversion superheterodyne design. The following information is supplied as requested in FCC Bulletin OCE 24: 1. Service in which the receiver will be used: Part 15. 2. Function of receiver: Amateur Radio. 3. Tuning range: 50 - 54 MHz. 4. IFs used: 10.695 MHz; 455 kHz 5. Fundamental frequency of all oscillators in the receiver: 1 st L.O.:(F c -10.695) MHz 2 nd L.O.: 10.24 MHz C. DESCRIPTION OF MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE: RADIATED EMISSIONS Measurements of receiver radiation field strength were made using ANSI 63.4 (1992) as the basic procedure. Measurements were made with 3 meter spacing between the receiver under test and the test equipment antenna. The receiver was operated with an external antenna. The receiver under test was placed on a rotatable table 80 cm in height. Measurement of field strength was made through use of a TEK 494P spectrum analyzer in conjunction with Singer DM-105A series calibrated dipoles. The receiver was tuned to low and high channels. For each spurious emission identified between 30 to 2000 MHz, the test sample was rotated for maximum pickup, the test antenna varied in elevation, and the test antenna polarization shifted between horizontal to vertical in order to maximize observed signals. D. REPORT OF RADIATED EMISSIONS All signals observed from 30 to 2000 MHz were more than 20 dB below the limits of paragraph 15.109 of the FCC Rules. E. DESCRIPTION OF MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE; AC-LINE CONDUCTED Not applicable; operates from vehicle 13.8 V supply. F. STATEMENT Technical test data are from tests performed by me or under my supervision. My qualifications are a matter of record with the Federal Communications Commission. I personally attest to the accuracy of the test data submitted as a part of this engineering statement. __________________________________ Rowland S. Johnson Dated: April 2, 2002
