Reference: Estimation methods of RX/TX signal loss by physical obstructions

Attenuation with the obstacle calculates easily in the following method.

I. Estimation procedure with the chart 4-4-4a (for cylindrical obstacles)
i) Estimate the distance (R) from the obstacle;

R (m)

d=0.2m

ii) Estimate the effective diameter (d) of the obstacle; d (m)

iii) Read off the loss (LB) in the Chart 4-4-4a;

LB (dB)

iv) Determine whether the loss (LB) is allowable.

Example
i) R:5
ii) d:02m
iii) LB:1dB (approx.)
iv) Allowable

Noise countermeasure (Interference with other equipment)

Earthing of EME antenna is highly recommended when trouble is caused in transmission (noise
interference, e.t.c.) due to occurrence of interference with other communication device.

Countermeasure

If the equipment does not operate normally even following procedure is performed, consult JRC
service agent.

Take care not to touch any parts on PC board.

Abnormal operation of IME

In case of the heavy fluctuation of the voltage or frequency of the power source, or thunderbolt
and etc., IME may not operate normally.

In this case, try following procedure (a).

And try

procedure (b) when procedure (a) did not work.

(a)

Set POWER switch to OFF, and confirm all of the LED lamps are lights out (it will takes
approximately 3 minutes) and set to ON again.

(b) Press RESET button in the IME panel by the tip of narrow object (like extended clip,0.5mm).
Push until you feel the object clicks. (refer fig. 4-6)
Five lamps ( POWER lamp to RECEIVE lamp) lights in order, and starts blinking (it will takes
approximately 10 seconds). Turn on POWER switch with confirming these lamps are blinking.
JUE-95LT may not reboot due to short-circuit of RESET button, if this button is pressed so strongly.

NOTE
The data, which are received message, call logging history and alarm history, memorized in IME
are cleared when RESET button is pushed. Saving important data to Floppy-Disk or USB Flash
Memory is highly recommended (Prepare optional DTE, Floppy-Disk Drive (for DTE
(NDZ-127C1)), and JUE-85 instruction manual).

Procedure (b)
Procedure (a)

Push the RESET Button with a stick of

wire like extended clip.

Set POWER switch to OFF and set to

ON again.

About the longevity of the articles of consumption (exchange time)

Contact the dealer from which you purchased the device or one of our marketing offices, when ALM
lamp of IME lights, or blinks with 1-second cycle (Life of longevity of the Lithium is approximately 10
years, however it might be shorten depend on the customers usage condition.
There is no influence in other telecommunication functions though the reception message and the call log,
etc. cannot be preserved in the power discontinuity, when the capacity of the lithium battery is lost.

DANGER
The lithium battery is built into JUE-95LT (EME). Do not short-circuited of the
terminal, do not give the high impact, and wet it to water.
There is danger of exploding.

4-7-2

When ordering repair

When a failure has been detected, check it according to the Trouble shooting described in this book.
When abnormalities are still accepted, stop operation and contact the dealer or agent from which you
purchased the device or one of our branches, marketing offices, and representative offices.

In the case of fixing during the term of a guarantee

When it breaks down in the state of the normal operation according to explanation and a handling
description in the operation manual, the dealer or our company will perform repair without any charge
according to the previsions in the specific action.
However, in the following case, gratis service cannot be received even if it is during the term of a
guarantee.
-When the construction report is not sent to JRC after installation of JUE-95LT is completed.
-Failure produced by inevitability, such as misuse, negligence, or a natural disaster, a fire, etc.

4-11

In the case of passed over the term of a guarantee

When a function can be recovered by repair, any repair will be performed with charge by demand of a
user.
Please inform us of the following items when ordering the repair:
+ Product name , model name, date of manufacture, manufacture number
+ State of the abnormality (as in detail as possible)
+ Office name or organization name, address, telephone number

4-7-3

Recommendation of overhaul

The performances of the set may deteriorate due to the aging of parts, and so on through the rate varies
depending on the conditions of use. So, it is recommendable to contact the dealer from which you
purchased the device or one of our marketing offices for overhaul apart from daily services.

4-7-4

Disposal

When disposing packaging materials of JUE-95LT, follow the rules of the pertinent local government.

CAUTION
Contact JRC to abandon JUE-95LT (EME). When the lithium battery is short-circuited,
receives the impact or it gets wet because of water, it causes generation of heat, the explosion,
and the ignition if this is not defended.

For details, contact the dealer which you purchased, our service office or a pertinent local
government.
Please contact the dealer which you purchased the device, or our marketing offices that is nearest to
you for any question as to the after-sales service.
