Safety Precautions Opening the APEX 1930 equipment could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury. Connect the equipment frame ground to the building ground. Operating the APEX 1930 with antennas in very close proximity facing each other can lead to severe damage to the repeater. RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be maintained between the user and the external antenna of the repeater to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov This equipment is for indoor use only and enables the communication wiring to communicate inside the building.

Abbreviation AC CDMA DC DL GUI LED PSU RF UL VSWR Definition Alternating Current Code Division Multiple Access Direct Current Downlink Graphic User Interface Light Emitting Diode Power Supply Unit Radio Frequency Uplink Voltage Standing Wave Ratio AGC (Automatic Gain Control) APEX1930 USER MANUAL V1.0.00 Tech Support: 1-888-317-8766 AGC prevents the repeater from exceeding its maximum output power by reducing the gain automatically. AGC is used to adjust the gain to an appropriate level for a range of input signal levels. ASD (Automatic Shutdown) ASD does not: 1. prevent oscillation 2. protect from excessive input. ASD helps protect the amplifier from over load. ASD helps protect the network by preventing excessive signal output power. There are three parameters: ASD Level, ASD Time, and ASD Iteration. If the output power exceeds higher than the “ASD LEVEL”, the repeater will shut down for “ASD TIME” seconds. If shutdown repeats “Iteration” times, the repeater will require manual re-start. APEX1930 USER MANUAL V1.0.00 Tech Support: 1-888-317-8766 2. Introduction 2.1. APEX1930 APEX1930 is used to fill out areas in APEX1900-24 systems, such as base station fringe areas, business and industrial building, etc. APEX1930 receives signals from a base station, amplifies and retransmits the signals to the mobile stations. It also receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite direction. Both directions are served simultaneously with the following features: < Basic Organization > APEX1930 USER MANUAL V1.0.00 Tech Support: 1-888-317-8766 2.2.
