Push the bolts through the washers (with the rubber side of the washer facing the solar panel)![Solar\_Repeater\_-\_Step\_1.1.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Solar_Repeater_-_Step_1_1.png?width=250&height=244&name=Solar_Repeater_-_Step_1_1.png) 2\. Orient the solar panel as shown on the picture below. ![Step\_1.2.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Step_1_2.png?width=251&height=244&name=Step_1_2.png) 3\. Insert the screws in the holes of the solar panel. Tighten the bolts to the mounting bracket using the supplied 2mm hex key. ## Mounting the solar panel on the 30MHz Repeater Read the [following article if you haven’t](https://support.30mhz.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404309451025?hsLang=en)[installed the mounting brackets on the 30MHz Repeater](https://support.30mhz.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404309451025?hsLang=en). Proceed with this manual again after installing the brackets on the 30MHz Repeater. 4\. Orient the solar panel with mounting bracket as shown on the picture below. ![Solar\_Repeater\_-\_Step\_2.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Solar_Repeater_-_Step_2.png?width=250&height=243&name=Solar_Repeater_-_Step_2.png) 5\. Insert the bolts through the bracket as soon on the image and tighten the bolts to the 30MHz Repeater bracket by using the supplied 3mm hex key. ## Plug the power connector in the 30MHz Repeater 6\. Plug the power connector attached to the solar panel on the port of the 30MHz Repeater, marked with a lightning bolt. ![Solar\_Repeater\_-\_Step\_3.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Solar_Repeater_-_Step_3.png?width=250&height=243&name=Solar_Repeater_-_Step_3.png) 7\. Twist the knurled ring shown in the image below of the connector hand tight. *Important: Plugging in the power connector will wake the 30MHz Solar Repeater when the solar panel receives enough light.* *![M12\_Connector.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/M12_Connector.png?width=298&height=139&name=M12_Connector.png)* Now you are ready to place the 30MHz Solar Repeater outside. Read the Important installation/position guidelines described below. # Important installation/position guidelines - The solar panel should be cleaned regularly to maintain optimal charging performance. - If your 30MHz Solar Repeater does get dirty, simply use a damp cloth to wipe away any surface dirt. For caked on dirt or grime, use isopropyl alcohol or any electronic screen cleaner. - The 30MHz Solar Repeater can only be used outside. ![Outdoor\_use.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Outdoor_use.png?width=300&height=175&name=Outdoor_use.png) - Install the 30MHz Solar Repeater above any structures to prevent shade on the solar panel. ![Prevent\_shade.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Prevent_shade.png?width=300&height=175&name=Prevent_shade.png) - The solar panel should be facing south if the installation site is north of the equator. ![North\_of\_equator.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/North_of_equator.png?width=300&height=175&name=North_of_equator.png) - The solar panel should be facing north if the installation site is south of the equator. ![South\_of\_equator.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/South_of_equator.png?width=300&height=175&name=South_of_equator.png) - The 30MHz Solar Repeater should be installed in the correct orientation. ![Correct\_orientation.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Correct_orientation.png?width=300&height=175&name=Correct_orientation.png) - Follow below mounting options to install the 30MHz Solar Repeater on a pole. ![Mounting\_options.png](https://support.30mhz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Mounting_options.png?width=300&height=175&name=Mounting_options.png) If you need help, click on the Support button and[get in touch with us](https://support.30mhz.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011449717?hsLang=en)!
