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 Booster.
Caution
RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be maintained between
the user and the external antenna of Booster 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.

1. Introduction
RSN-iDEN-30-DC Booster is used to fill out uncovered areas in iDEN mobile systems, such as
base station fringe areas, road tunnels, business and industrial buildings, etc.
An RSN-iDEN-30-DC Booster 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.
To be able to receive and transmit signals in both directions, the Booster is connected to a donor
antenna directed towards the base station and to a service antenna directed towards the area to
be covered.
Control of the Booster is performed using a desktop or notebook loaded through the RJ-45 Jack
which can communicate with the Booster. Remote operation can be performed.
RSN-iDEN-30-DC Booster work as bi-directional amplifiers.
A Booster receives, amplifies, and retransmits signals inbound and outbound simultaneously, i.e.
from the base station via the Booster to the mobile stations and from the mobile stations via the
Ground contact

Booster
to the base station.
The Booster can be connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station, and to a
server antenna directed towards the area to be covered. The donor antenna is connected to the
Booster with type-N connector. On the other hand, the server antenna is an external antenna.
The RSN-iDEN-30-DC Booster are controlled by powerful microprocessors. Operational status
LEDs are visible on the bottom of the Booster.
The Booster works with convection cooling without fan because it has a radiator behind the body
of RSN-iDEN-30-DC.
Operational parameters, such as gain, power levels, alarm condition, Automatic Gain Control
condition, etc. are set using a desktop or notebook and the RJ-45 jack, which communicate, either
locally or remotely via the UTP(Unshielded Twisted Pair Wire) cable, with the Booster.
