RF Exposure Statement
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC RF Radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device and its antenna must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Safety Precautions
Opening the OTA equipment could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury.
Connect the equipment frame ground to the building ground.
Operating the OTA with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe
damage to the repeater.
RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
A minimum separation distance of 27cm 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 only.

ALC (Automatic Level Control)
ALC feature prevents the repeater from exceeding its maximum output power by reducing the gain
automatically. ALC is used to adjust the gain to an appropriate level for a range of input signal levels.
ASD (Automatic Shutdown)
Automatic shut down protects the repeater from the oscillation or excessive input signal and
eliminates any degradation to the network.
There are three parameters: ASD Level, ASD Time, and ASD Iteration.
If the output power reaches higher than the “ASD LEVEL”, the repeater will shut down for “ASD
TIME” seconds and then it will turn the amp back on to measure the output power again. If this
repeats at “Iteration” times, the repeater will shut down permanently.
1. Introduction
QUAD BAND OTA is used to fill out areas in QUAD BAND systems, such as base station
fringe areas, business and industrial building, etc.
QUAD BAND OTA 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:

Solution3. Alarms
∙ Alarm : If an alarm occurs, the alarm LED on the repeater will turn on. Please refer
tothe troubleshooting section of this manual.
∙ It is recommended to NOT change any of the values in the alarm range.
Solution4. ALC
∙ Automatic Level Control: Type under 30 and then click APPLY and ON.
[Example at the 700M BAND]
For a repeater with 30dBm maximum output power, 87dB maximum gain/
30dB gain Control range, Æ If the signal -57dBm and the ALC is set as
23dBm, the gain will be 80dB to adjust to the output power.
If the input signal is -50dBm, the output power will be 30dBm by the
Limitation of the maximum gain even though the ALC is set as 30dBm
Solution5. ASD
(700, PCS, AWS)
(CELLULAR)
∙ Automatic Shutdown: Type the desired value for the ASD Level and then
Click APPLY and ON.
[Example at the PCS BAND]
For a repeater with 30dBm Maximum Output Power, 97dB Maximum Gain/
30dB gain control range, assuming ASD Level: 33dBm, ASD Time, ASD Count
are already fixed at 3seconds, 10times.
If the composite output power is 33dBm(ASD Level) and higher, the repeater
will shutdown for 3seconds(ASD Time). If the shutdown occurs 10times(ASD
Count), the 11th shutdown will be permanent.
And repeater runs Easy setup automatically. After that, it is activated with
the
re-calculated antenna isolation value.
5. Troubleshooting
Before contacting your service dealer, please make sure you refer to the following guide. If
the QUAD BAND OTA does not work normally after completing the following troubleshooting
tips, please contact your local dealer or service center.
Case 1) LED indicator is not normal
Problem Check Point Solution
Critical POR LED is red Power supply out of range
- Confirm AC 85 - 264V common use power and
power cable.
TD LED is red Tamper detected
- Check the status of the BDA equipment.
BTF LED is red Built-in test failure
- Check which alarm occurred through the WEB
GUI Alarm status.
- UL Out-of-band emissions, DL Spurious
emissions, DL Interferer power exceeded, DL
Low isolation, Over temperature
- Case 2) Problem solving by Alarm indicator.
RMF LED is red Replaceable module failure
- select BDA’s alarm LED is red
- reset BDA’s power
- BDA’s alarm LED is still red, Contact
Technical Support
OSC LED is red Oscillation detected
- Check Donor/Server ant. Isolation and if the
value of Gain is less than +5dB, adjust the
location of antenna to secure isolation.
SD LED is red Shutdown
- Check the S/D reason using WEB GUI.
- If the Manual HPA is Off, turn it back On.
- If Overpower S/D occurred and Manual Gain is
setting up, control the Gain setting.
- If Overpower S/D occurred and the ALC is On,
set up the ALC Level 1 to 3dB low. Fix the
ALC Level if it is normal after monitoring for so
long. (It can be possible to occur if Input
Power change is extreme.)
Minor DCF LED is orange Donor Circuitry failure
- DL Donor Power too high
- After checking the DL input Power, adjust the
location of the antenna or install the external
antenna to the permitted range if it is over the
permitted level
DPL LED is orange Donor power too low
- DL Donor Power too low
-.If the DL input Power is too low, adjust the
location of the antenna to be at a high input
value.
CCF LED is orange Coverage Circuitry failure
- UL Power at coverage high, DL VSWR
- If the DPL LED is normal but the CCF LED is
not normal, reduce the UL Gain. (If ALC is On, it
can reduce the UL Gain by controlling the Gain
Offset.)
RE LED is orange Reset engaged
- Reset alarm
- Do not control the Repeater during reset.
AGC LED is orange AGC active
- AGC On
- It means that ALC is On and operating well not
the Alarm.

without cancellation of Lock for setting.
Power supply out of range - Check if the input power is AC85-264V and if it
is normal, Contact Technical Support.
Communication failure Check the status of the Data Cable connection.
If communication failure occurred at every
connected BDA, Reset the MCU.
If communication failure occurred at a particular
BDA, Reset BDA for the occurred failure.
Field replaceable module
failure
If the same alarm occurs after resetting the
BDA, request technical support.
Reset alarm Do not control anything during the reset.
Manual shutdown alarm If it has no problem regarding the installation,
the HPA is On.
Heartbeat Check the connection of the Remote NMS
Cable.
Check the interval of Heartbeat on the WEB
GUI.
Uplink Oscillation detected Check Donor/Server antenna Isolation value. If
the gain value is lower than +5dB, adjust the
antenna location to secure Isolation.

high
If the UL Input Power is too high, check the
Coverage antenna of the initial installation again.

antenna location.
Low isolation Check Donor/Server antenna Isolation value. If
the Gain value is lower than +5dB, adjust the
antenna location to secure Isolation.
Synthesizer failure If the same alarm occurs after resetting the
BDA, request technical support.
Hardware failure If the same alarm occurs after resetting the
BDA, request technical support.
Software failure If the same alarm occurs after resetting the
BDA, request technical support.
Spurious emissions out of
spec
It may occur when VSWR is too high and need
to adjust the antenna location.
Interferer power exceeded It may occur when VSWR is too high and need
to adjust the antenna location.
