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

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 itself from the oscillation or excessive
input signal and eliminates any degradation to the network.
There are three parameters, ASD LEVEL, ASD TIME and ASD COUNT.
If the output power gets higher than “ASD LEVEL”, the repeater will shut down for
“ASD TIME” time and then turn the amp back on and measure the output power
again. If this repeats “ASD COUNT” times, the repeater will shut down completely.

1. Introduction
iDEN MINI repeater is used to fill out areas in iDEN mobile systems, such as base
station fringe areas, business and industrial buildings, etc.
iDEN MINI receives signals from a base station, amplifies and retransmits the
signals to mobile stations. Also it receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the
opposite direction. Both directions are served simultaneously with the following
features:
• 7MHz or 18MHz-bandwidth service @ 800MHz’s
• 5MHz-bandwidth service @ 900MHz’s
• Adjustable Band Edge @ 800MHz’s and 900MHz’s
• Roll Offs: 65dBc at 0.5MHz outside pass-band

LOCAL Mode : This mode should be selected only if the iDEN MINI is used
alone without being connected to a collocated repeater functioning as a local.
(Use this mode for the Operation)
REMOTE Mode : This mode should be selected if a repeater is being installed
along with the iDEN MINI and the Ethernet port is being used for communicating
with the repeater.
10. DC OUT : Power outlet for compatible external devices only.

3. Hardware Installation
A rod on the left side is intended for a building ground.
Connect the ground cable to the rod.
Note
Enough isolation?
Antenna isolation = Service antenna gain + Path Loss + Donor antenna gain
Antenna isolation Repeater max. gain +15dB
If antenna isolation < Repeater max. gain +15dB ĺ System oscillation or Low gain
Dangerously high voltages may occur and damage the equipment if
the equipment is not grounded properly.
