Warnings and Hazards

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK

Opening the BDA (bi-directional amplier) could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury.

WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RF

Working with the repeater while in operation, may expose the technician to RF electromagnetic elds

that exceed FCC rules for human exposure. Visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety

to learn more about the effects of exposure to RF electromagnetic elds.

WARNING! DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT

Operating the BDA with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe damage to the repeater.

RF EXPOSURE & ANTENNA PLACEMENT

Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used.

Please maintain a minimum safe distance of at least 8 inch while operating near the donor and the server antennas.

Also, the donor antenna needs to be mounted outdoors on a permanent structure.

WARRANTY

Unauthorized opening or tampering the BDA will void all warranties.

One-year Warranty will start when the ownership of CoverCell25K/100K700 is transferring.

CAUTION: REPEATER SHOULD BE INSTALLED AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO POWER SOURCE.

CAUTION: THIS REPEATER IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY AND SHOULD BE LOCATED INSIDE OF BUILDING.

CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY ON CONTROLLER BOARD IS REPLACED WITH AN INCORRECT TYPE.

CAUTION: DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Locate the four Bracket Sems Screws with installed washers. Tighten bolts until secure.

3. Locate the ground lug on the underside(or side) of the repeater.

4. Crimp the ground cable to the ground lug.

5. Route the free end of the ground cable to an approved(per local code or practice) ground source.

CAUTION

Ground cable must be properly grounded to provide both EMI and voltage surge protection for the repeater.

Item Remark

Donor ANT

(1) Setting the direction of Donor Antenna

(2) A donor antenna needs to be located in a place which maintains maximum receiving signal

levels and attains highest Ec/lo values from BTS.

(3) It is recommended that the antenna needs to be protected by placing it under the protection

angle from a lightening rod.

(4) A donor antenna needs to be away from high pressure and high frequency facilities.

When installing a donor antenna, it needs open spaces at least more than 180 degree.

(5) To get enough isolation between a donor antenna and a coverage antenna, those antennas

needs to be away from each other.

Coverage ANT

(1) Choosing an efcient emitting place – It is recommended that the antenna should not be

blocked by objects.

(2) For signal quality, the cable length needs to be as short as possible.

(3) The antenna needs to be away from other radio frequency radiating objects such as other

antennas, and CCTV equipment.

Warning: In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits,

human proximity to the antenna should not be less than 40cm during normal operation.

The gain of the antenna is 8 dBi.

Version 1.0  September 2010

Position Antenna

• Customer specications should be followed for positioning the antennas properly.

• When turning on the repeater, AGS (Auto Gain Setup) is automatically activated, which shows LED indicators are

turned on one by one.

• After all the LEDs are on, AGS is complete.

• Please verify that all the LEDs are indicating proper input and output levels.

Warning: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation The radiated output power

of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.

Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential

for human contact during normal operation is minimized. In order to avoid

the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human

proximity to the antenna should not be less than 40cm during normal

operation. The gain of the antenna is 8 dBi. The antenna(s) used for this

transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.
