Page 3 1. Introduction The Compensator is a mobile consumer Signal Booster which operates on the frequencies and in the market areas of multiple licenses and will be integrated in the car only by the car-manufacturer or in case of replacement by a professional garage. The end-user does not have to do any installations or adjustments. The Compensator is connected with the car antenna (e.g. roof top antenna) and the coupling tray (Cradle) in series. While the cradle is located for example in the center console of the car, the Compensator itself is installed for example in the C-pillar or under the back seat. The Compensator is a powerful and effective way to improve link quality and coverage for mobile phones when used within a car. This is basically by means of compensating losses and providing a connection to a permanent optimal positioned external car antenna. The Compensator ensures the conformance with mobile network standards as well as the compliance with country regulations. 2. Installation Options Example for a principle setup in a car. The Compensator unit is designed for in-car use only. It MUST be well integrated into the automotive environment (Tambient max. 85 °C) and should be installed by the OEM (car-manufacturer) or in case of replacement by a professional garage. Only the antennas listed at the Antenna Kitting section are allowed to be used along with the Compensator.

Page 6 Output Power Uplink Output Power Downlink Each Compensator is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance and cannot be adjusted without factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Compensator will amplify, but not alter incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. The Compensator only transmits signals if a wake up signal is and a signal from a mobile phone is detected. The wake up signal is generated by the cradle only if a mobile phone resides in the coupling tray. If the Compensator detects an oscillation, it will automatically stop the transmission. For a detected oscillation the Compensator will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1 minute. After 5 such automatic restarts, the Compensator shuts off until a manually restart is initialized by taking the mobile phone off the cradle. Noise power, gain and linearity are maintained by the Compensator´s microcontroller. Parameter Condition Max.

It MUST be well integrated into the automotive environment (Tambient max. 85 °C) and should be installed by the OEM (car-manufacturer) or in case of replacement by a professional garage. WARNING: Only the antennas listed at the Antenna Kitting section are allowed to be used along with the Compensator. The use of other antennas will cause the cease of the Compensator´s operating license. RF SAFETY WARNING: Any antenna used with this device must be located at least 8 inches (20,3 cm) from all persons. The FCC requires that a cell phone with cradle attached may only be used with the in-car mounted cradle. It is not allowed to use a cell phone with an attached cradle near to the ear. WARNING: The Outside Car-Antenna must be installed no higher than 10 meters above ground.
