For your safety, beware of power lines and ensure appropriate safety measures are maintained at all times during the installation of the SpotCell equipment. If equipment not shipped with the SpotCell system is to be used during installation or mounting, follow all equipment manufacturer’s instructions in proper use to ensure injury is avoided. The DU and CU of the SpotCell are low power transmitters. As with a cell phone antenna, avoid unneccessary contact with the front of the units when they units are operating. Mount the units in a location where people will not approach within 1 meter of the front of the DU and 20 centimeters in front of the CU. When deploying the extended coverage antenna, there must be a minimum separation of 10 cm between the main CU and the extended coverage antenna with the antennas facing in opposite directions. The extended coverage antenna should be mounted in locations where people will not approach within 20 cm in front of the antenna. This manual outlines installation instructions and the appendix offers practical safety tips (see Appendix E entitled ‘Safety Hints’). If you are not sure about a safe installation, do not attempt to install it yourself. Call a professional installer for help. LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: 1.

1 Spotwave Wireless Ltd. 1 – Introduction 1.1 This Manual The content of this manual provides specific details that may be referred to if necessary during installation of a SpotCell 1000Xe adaptive coverage system. 1.2 No Special Knowledge Installation of the SpotCell 1000Xe does not require any specialized technical knowledge. The SpotCell coverage system can be installed by any person(s) with the ability to use a screwdriver, and in some situations may require the use of a ladder, drill, and additional related tools. 1.3 SpotCell 1000Xe at a Glance The purpose of the SpotCell system is to enable personal wireless communications in specific locations within a wireless service area where cell phones do not work, or work poorly, for example inside a building, or at the cell boundary.
2 SpotCell® 1000Xe INTRODUCTION The SpotCell 1000Xe system receives signals from one or more wireless base stations and relays the signal to areas where cell phones do not work or work poorly due to obstructions or the remoteness of the location. DU CUs Figure 1.1: SpotCell 1000Xe in-building coverage The basic SpotCell 1000Xe system is comprised of a Donor Unit (DU), a Coverage Unit (CU) and a power supply. The DU is the outward facing part of the system that communicates with the base station. The DU is connected (via coaxial cable) to the CU which provides wireless coverage to indoor areas. The SpotCell 1000Xe adaptive system is capable of dual band and split band coverage and provides band-selective, on-frequency, in-building coverage in the cellular and PCS bands. It uses proprietary, patented, adaptive techniques that allow a SpotCell solution to be installed and operated without engineering intervention or support.
3 SpotCell® 1000Xe 1.3.1 The Donor Unit (DU) INTRODUCTION The DU has a 2 meter (6 foot) RG6 coaxial cable on the bottom and indicators for showing received signal strength and system status on the back. Figure 1.2: Bottom view of DU and cable Signal strength Status light Figure 1.3: Back view of DU
4 SpotCell® 1000Xe INTRODUCTION 1.3.2 The Coverage Unit The CU has two F-type coaxial ports, a power adapter port and indicator for showing system status. CU CU cover Status light Coverage level Figure 1.4: CU with cover removed Power adapter port F connector to auxiliary CU F connector to DU Figure 1.5: Top view of CU and connectors The SpotCell 1000Xe is generally format specific - CDMA/1xRTT/1xEVDO and TDMA/GSM/GPRS/EDGE formats. When ordering a SpotCell solution be sure to specify the format, frequency band and sub-band. For PCS band equipment, it is helpful if the
5 SpotCell® 1000Xe INTRODUCTION start and stop frequencies for the operational sub-band are provided. Alternatively, specifying your mobile phone provider (carrier) and zip/postal code on the Spotwave website will ensure the proper system is ordered. 1.3.3 SpotCell 1000Xe Configurations The basic SpotCell 1000Xe system configuration is one DU connected with a coaxial cable to a CU which is connected to an AC adapter that supplies power to both units. Figure 1.6: Basic SpotCell 1000Xe configuration With the Hidden Cable kit, a BIAS-T (power inserter) can be used to discreetly power the system or power the system from a more conveniently located AC outlet. Figure 1.7: SpotCell 1000Xe configured with BIAS-T
6 SpotCell® 1000Xe INTRODUCTION To expand the coverage area, a second CU can also be added to the system. However, only a single AC power adapter can be used, at either on the locations shown below. Figure 1.8: SpotCell 1000Xe configured with second Coverage Unit WIth a second CU in the system, one BIAS-T (power inserters) from the Hidden Cable kit can be used. The BIAS-T can be located between the DU and CU, or between the two CUs. Figure 1.9: BIAS-T installed between DU and CU Figure 1.10: BIAS-T installed between main CU and auxiliary CU
7 Spotwave Wireless Ltd. 2 – Installation 2.1 Preparation The following are general considerations and preparations that should be looked at before installing the SpotCell 1000Xe system. 2.1.1 Signal Strength The SpotCell 1000Xe system brings signals from an area of adequate coverage to an area with poor or non-existent coverage. It is the DU which captures a good signal, and the CU that provides the signal to the area with poor cell phone coverage. The DU can be mounted inside or outside, as long as it is in an area where your cell phone works. Generally, the better your cell phone works at the location the DU is mounted, the better the system will perform. 2.1.2 DU Height In fringe areas, locating the DU as high as possible will provide optimal performance. 2.1.3 Avoid obstructions General placement of the DU and CU must be in unobstructed areas. For example, the CU should not be placed on a wall behind any type of furniture (behind items such as metal filing cabinets would be a particularly poor location). Similarly for the DU, the front of the unit should not be directly facing any type of metal structures, which are often found on building rooftops.
8 SpotCell® 1000Xe INSTALLATION 2.1.4 Proximity to power source The indoor unit (CU) must be located within 20 feet (6 meters) of a power source, unless the Hidden Cable kit is used. This kit includes a BIAS-T (power inserter) that allows the system to be powered from a AC outlet located within 20 feet (6 meters) anywhere along the coaxial cable. 2.1.5 Distance between DU and CU Although you should separate the DU and CU as much as possible, the maximum length of RG-6 cable that can be used to connect the two units is 82 feet (25 meters). For greater DU to CU separation, RG-11 copper core double shielded cable can be used to connect the two units. Using RG-11 copper core cable extends the maximum DU to CU distance to 164 feet (50 meters). Plenum rated RG-6 and RG-11 copper core cable may also be used for installations in return air ceilings, floor to floor riser use and elevator shafts. The maximum Plenum cable lengths that can be used are 66 feet (20 meters) for RG-6 and 131 feet (40 meters) for RG-11. non-Plenum Plenum RG-6 82 ft (25 m) 66 ft (20 m) RG-11 164 ft (50m) 131 ft (40 m) Table 1: Maximum copper core cable length for connecting units Exceeding the cable lengths listed in Table 1 will result in reduced system coverage. Make sure the general location of the two units is within these limits. Use only Spotwave Wireless approved cable. 2.1.6 Distance between main CU and auxiliary CU The maximum cable lengths that can be used to connect two CUs is the same as that for connecting a CU and DU (see Table 1). Maximum separation of the CUs and back- to-back positioning will optimize system performance. 2.1.7 Orientation of DU relative to CU If possible face the DU and CU in opposite directions, and back to back while maintaining maximum separation. While not a requirement, some installations will perform better if the units are positioned in this manner. This is generally more important for an inside mounted DU than one mounted outside on a roof or an external wall.
9 SpotCell® 1000Xe INSTALLATION 2.1.8 Barrier between DU and CU The greater the physical obstruction between the DU and CU, the better the performance. Dense obstructions such as brick, concrete or metal walls are better than wooden or plaster walls. 2.2 Packing List This section describes the components that ship with the SpotCell 1000Xe system and the available options. 2.2.1 SpotCell 1000Xe The SpotCell 1000Xe solution is shipped with the following components:  Donor Unit (DU) - this is the outward facing part of the system.  Coverage Unit (CU) - this is the indoor part of the system.  Power Adapter - to be plugged into an electrical outlet and connected to the CU.  Mounting Kit - for mounting the DU and CU  Quick Installation Guide DU CU Install Guide Power Supply Figure 2.1: SpotCell 1000Xe kit
10 SpotCell® 1000Xe INSTALLATION 2.2.2 SpotCell 1000Xe Auxiliary CU The SpotCell 1000Xe Auxiliary CU kit is shipped with the following components:  Auxiliary CU - this is the second indoor part of the system.  Power Adapter - to be plugged into an electrical outlet and connected to the CU.  Mounting kit CU Power Supply Figure 2.2: SpotCell 1000Xe Auxiliary CU kit Note: The coaxial cable needed to connect the CU to the DU can either be ordered from Spotwave Wireless or can be supplied by the installer. 2.2.3 Hidden Cable Kit The Hidden Cable kit makes it easier to hide the RF and power cables that are normally connected directly to the CU. The Hidden Cable kit is shipped with the following components:  90º F connectors (2)  BIAS-T (power inserter)  cut-in mounting ring Figure 2.3: Hidden Cable kit The BIAS-T (power inserter) is for indoor use only and cannot be installed outdoors. 2.2.4 DU Outdoor Install Kit When the DU is mounted outside, the SpotCell Enterprise system requires additional lightning protection components that are included in the DU Outdoor Installation kit along with an extra angle mount, grounding block and U-bolts.
11 SpotCell® 1000Xe INSTALLATION Note: You may also need to purchase additional hardware specific to your mounting environment (such as a non-penetrating roof mount) before you begin the installation. 2.2.5 Unpacking the Equipment Physically inspect the box for shipping damage before unpacking the SpotCell System. 1. Remove the SpotCell 1000Xe components from the box. 2. Remove all packing material from the Donor Unit (DU) and the Coverage Unit (CU). Save the packaging in case the system is ever stored or shipped for service. 3. Check the contents of the package to make sure you have received everything ordered and the kits contains all the listed parts. Check the DU and CU for shipping damage. Pay particular attention to the unit’s outer shell casing. 2.3 Choosing a location for the DU The DU is the outward facing unit. It is the unit that picks up the signal from and communicates with the service providers base station network. It may not be possible to install the DU indoors when installing the SpotCell solution in remote areas. An effort should be made to install the DU outdoors and the DU should be installed as high as possible when the installation is in a remote area. Use your mobile phone handset to identify the inside location with the strongest received signal, or the outside roof or external wall location where the strongest signal is received. 2.3.1 Positioning the DU The following outlines the procedure for locating a DU inside a building, on a rooftop, and on the outside surface of an external wall. 1. Remove the angle bracket from the DU and position the DU (but do not mount it) as close to the final desired mounting location as possible. Indoors Outside on a Roof Outside on an External Wall While not a requirement, it is highly recommended the DU be installed 3 to 4 feet away from the glass when facing a windowa. The CU should not be brought outdoors if it is raining, below freezing or above 105 Fo (40 Co). a. Tinted windows may contain metallic particles which can degrade the radio signal more than the adjacent exterior wall.
12 SpotCell® 1000Xe INSTALLATION 2. Temporarily connect the DU to the port labeled on the top of the CU with copper core coax cable. Note: Do not directly connect the CU to the 10 ft (3 m) cable already attached to the DU. Directly connecting the CU to the DU cable may cause the system to malfunction. Figure 2.4: Temporarily connect CU to DU 3. Connect the power supply to the CU and plug the power supply adapter into a wall socket. Figure 2.5: Connect power to CU Note: Only use the power supply provided with the SpotCell 1000Xe system. Connecting a power supply from another SpotCell system may damage the unit and cause it to fail.
13 SpotCell® 1000Xe 4. Alignment. Hold the DU upright and pointing away from you, while: INSTALLATION Indoor DU Outdoor DU On a Roof Outdoor DU on an External Wall Rotating the DU left to right with the DU facing to the outside through the window or exterior wall. Window or Exterior Wall If not in front of a window, rotate the DU in a complete 360° circle. Rotating the DU in a complete 360° circle. Rotating the DU left to right with the DU facing away from the exterior wall. Exterior Wall Monitor the number of bars displayed on the signal strength indicator during the rotation. The number of bars is an indication of the signal strength the DU is receiving from the wireless base station. See DU signal level indicators: on page 35 for details on the signal level indicator. Signal Strength Status Figure 2.6: Signal strength indicator on back of DU
14 SpotCell® 1000Xe INSTALLATION 5. Note the direction the DU is facing when the greatest number of bars is displayed and the Status LED is blue (no faults). Figure 2.7: Note the DU direction with maximum number of bars and no faults This is the direction the DU must face when it is mounted. When multiple locations show the same greatest number of bars, mount the DU facing in the direction where the number of bars was displayed for the longest period of time during rotation. It is recommended that various outside roof and exterior wall locations, and locations within the building be tested to identify the best DU location. On the upper floors of tall buildings, it may be necessary to tilt the DU down to get the strongest signal. 6. Proceed to mounting the DU (in the location that has the highest indicated signal level) and installing the coaxial cable (see “Mounting the DU on page 19”). After the DU is mounted, it is recommended that you temporarily re-connect the CU to the DU and quickly verify that the expected greatest number of bars (as found in steps 4 and 5) is displayed.
15 SpotCell® 1000Xe INSTALLATION 2.4 Choosing a location for the CU The CU location is optimized, after the DU location and orientation have been optimized, the DU has been mounted, and the copper core coaxial cable has been pulled from the DU to the location requiring improved coverage. Generally, the CU should be mounted in a location as far as possible behind the DU, while being within the area where you require improved coverage and within reach of the maximum allowed cable length (see Table 1 on page 8) If mounted on a wall, the coverage pattern for an open area with minimum obstructing walls is as shown in Figure 2.8. Figure 2.8: Coverage pattern in front of CU When mounting the CU on a ceiling, the unit should be positioned in the middle of the area to be covered side-to-side, and off-centered front-to-back. Figure 2.9 shows the coverage area when the CU is mounted closer to the center of room or if mounted on a typical interior drywall partition. The back coverage area is reduced further if the partition wall is constructed of a dense material such as concrete or brick. Figure 2.9: Back and front coverage pattern
16 SpotCell® 1000Xe INSTALLATION The unit should be mounted as high on the wall as possible. Note: The 1000Xe CU has been designed for convection cooling. There is insufficient airflow to guarantee proper operating temperature in all circumstances with the unit mounted horizontally. To avoid an operating temperature problem, the 1000Xe CU should only be mounted vertically. Do not mount the CU horizontally. 2.4.1 Positioning the CU Before positioning the CU, ensure that the DU position has been optimized and the DU has been mounted in place. To position the CU 1. Place the CU in the area needing coverage, but do not physically mount at this time. 2. Temporarily connect the cable from the DU to the port labelled on the top of the CU. Figure 2.10: Connect CU to DU 3. Connect the power supply to the CU, and then plug the adapter into an AC outlet.
17 SpotCell® 1000Xe INSTALLATION 4. Hold the CU in the position it is to be mounted. Ideally the display on the back of the CU will show 5 bars for coverage area. Figure 2.11: Coverage display on CU If it is not showing 5 bars for coverage area and there are alternate mounting locations, move the CU to the alternate locations and check the display. Place the CU in the location showing maximum number of bars. See CU indicators on page 33 for more information on the CU Coverage Indicator. If the number of bars is not changing, which is very possible, choose a CU mounting location that is convenient for the area requiring coverage. 5. Once the CU is positioned for optimal coverage, permanently run the copper core coaxial cable from the DU to the CU location. See Routing the cable and Bringing the cable indoors on page 22. 6. Tighten the cable connection to the CU with a wrench (a 1/4 of a turn tighter than finger tight) to ensure moisture does not penetrate. 7. Refer to Mounting the CU on page 25 for mounting instructions.
18 SpotCell® 1000Xe INSTALLATION 2.5 Positioning the Auxiliary CU The Auxiliary CU should be optimized and mounted after the MAIN CU has been optimized and mounted. The guidelines for positioning the Auxiliary CU are the same as those for mounting the MAIN CU.  mount the Auxiliary CU in a location as far as possible from the DU, while being within the area where you require improved coverage.  the Auxiliary CU should be positioned in the middle of the coverage area, side-to- side, and off-centered slightly front-to-back, approximately as shown in Figure 2.9.  the Auxiliary CU should be mounted as high on the wall as possible. To position the Auxiliary CU 1. Temporarily connect the port labelled on the auxiliary CU to the port labelled on the main CU. Auxiliary CU Main CU 2. Connect the extra power supply to the Auxiliary CU and plug the adapter into an AC outlet. 3. Hold the Auxiliary CU in the position it is to be mounted. In an ideal application, the display on the CU will show 5 bars of coverage area. If the display is not showing 5 bars for coverage area and there are alternate possible mounting locations, move the Auxiliary CU to the alternate locations and check the display. 4. Place the Auxiliary CU in the location showing maximum number of bars. In the event the number of bars is not changing, which is very possible, choose a location that is most convenient. 5. Once the Auxiliary CU is positioned for optimal coverage, permanently run the copper core coaxial cable from the MAIN CU to the Auxiliary CU location. 6. Refer to Mounting the CU on page 25 for mounting instructions.
19 Spotwave Wireless Ltd. 3 – Mounting the DU and CU Mount the DU and CU only after the optimal locations for each unit has been determined (see 2.3“Choosing a location for the DU” and 2.4“Choosing a location for the CU”). 3.1 Mounting the DU The DU may be indoor or outdoor mounted. Based on the direction the DU will point, consider possible mounting locations. The SpotCell 1000Xe ships with basic hardware for mounting the DU to an inside wall and also includes either a DU Indoor Mounting kit or an Outdoor Mounting kit. The illustrations on the following pages show some of the possible mounting options. 3.1.1 Mounting Options Overhead Mount The overhead mount provides left to right rotation, but no up or down-tilt.
20 SpotCell® 1000Xe MOUNTING THE DU AND CU Wall Mount The wall mount configuration allows for some left to right rotation, but no up or down tilt. The second bracket required for this mounting configuration is provided with the optional Outdoor Mounting kit. Side Surface Mount (indoor only) The side surface mount allows for some up and down tilt, but no left to right rotation. There are two important concerns with this mounting configuration: 1. This configuration cannot withstand strong winds and should only be used indoors. 2. To keep the bracket secure, all four mounting nuts on the back of the DU must be in place and tightened, even if only two of the nuts are holding the bracket to the DU. Pipe Mount Use U-bolts to mount the unit to a 2-in pipe. The pipe mount allows for complete left to right rotation with no range of up-tilt or down-tilt.
21 SpotCell® 1000Xe Extended Vertical Surface Mount This configuration can be used to mount the DU from an overhead vertical surface (such as a beam or truss) and allows for full rotation either left to right or up and down, depending on how the mount is fastened to the DU. The second bracket required for this mounting configuration is provided with the optional DU Indoor Installation kit. 3.1.2 DU Outdoor Mounting MOUNTING THE DU AND CU The mounting bracket has holes, keyhole slots, and rounded slots for 1/4-in lag bolts. Mounting to a wood structure 1. Use the holes in mounting bracket as a template and mark the hole locations. 2. Drill 1/8-in. diameter holes approximately 2.5-in. deep. 3.

Use cable clamps and screws to attach the cable to the wall. Bringing the cable indoors If it is necessary to run a cable through a wall, use a masonry or wood drill bit to drill a 3/4-inch diameter hole. To bring the cable through an exterior wall: 1. Depending on the material the wall is made of use a wood or masonry drill bit to drill a 3/4-in. diameter hole. 2. Pass the connector and cable through the wall. 3. Use the putty/sealant (provided with Outdoor Installation kit) to fill the hole. 4. Fashion a drip loop in the cable if the hole is not next to the ground block.
23 SpotCell® 1000Xe Grounding the DU MOUNTING THE DU AND CU When the DU is installed outside, electrical (or building) code calls for the outer conductor of the coaxial cable to be grounded at or near the point of entrance of the cable into the building. A ground-block is provided with the Outdoor Installation kit. DU CU Ground block Figure 3.2: Ground coaxial cable with ground block Drip Loops While securing the cable outside, ensure that a drip loop is fashioned on both sides of the ground block and fasten a tie wrap around the loop to keep the loop secured. wall penetration to CU to DU Figure 3.3: Drip loops on both sides of ground block If where the cable enters the building is not next to the ground block, then another drip loop will also have to fashioned at this point. The drip loop prevents water from collecting around the cable where it attaches to the block or where it enters the building.
24 SpotCell® 1000Xe MOUNTING THE DU AND CU Ideally the ground block should be bonded to the roof ground network, a metal cold water pipe, structural steel, or metal electrical conduit. Use #10-AWG solid-copper wire (minimum). Green insulation is preferred. Alternatively uninsulated #8-AWG aluminum may be permitted. Be sure to check national and local code requirements. Connect the ground wire to the cold water pipe or alternative using an appropriate crimp-on ring or lug connector. Ground conductor and termination hardware are not supplied. Warning! Failure to properly ground the DU will leave the unit and building vulnerable to damage from lightning strikes. Check local building and electrical code requirements and comply with both local and national regulations. Ideally the DU ground wire should be bonded to the roof ground network. For roofs without such a network use a metal cold water pipe, structural steel, or metal conduit. 3.1.3 DU indoor mounting To mount the DU indoors: 1. Use the mounting bracket as a template and mark the hole locations. 2. If the mounting is in a solid wood surface, or a stud covered by drywall, drill a 5/32 inch diameter hole.

If an anchor is required drill a 3/16 inch diameter hole, insert the anchor, and fasten with 1/2 inch screws. 3.3 Using the Hidden Cable kit The Hidden Cable kit includes a BIAS-T (power inserter) and two F-90 connectors that make it easier to hide the power and RF cables that are normally connected directly to the CU. 3.3.1 BIAS-T (power inserter) The BIAS-T (power inserter) is used to power the system from a discreet or more conveniently located AC outlet. To install the BIAS-T 1. Choose an indoor location along the coaxial cable run to install the BIAS-T. The BIAS-T location must be within 20 feet (6 meters) of an AC outlet so that the power adapter cord can reach.
28 SpotCell® 1000Xe MOUNTING THE DU AND CU 2. If the AC adapter can reach the end of the 10 ft (3m) cable attached to the DU then simply attach the BIAS-T to the DU cable and then the cable coming from the CU. Figure 3.8: BIAS-T inserted near DU or If the DU is too far from the AC outlet, cut the coaxial cable at the chosen location, properly terminate both ends with Spotwave approved connectors, and attach the the BIAS to the two new connectors. Figure 3.9: BIAS-T inserted far from DU 3. Connect the power supply to the BIAS-T and then plug the adapter into an AC outlet.
29 SpotCell® 1000Xe 3.3.2 F-90 connectors MOUNTING THE DU AND CU The 90 degree F connectors included in the kit, allow the coaxial cables to be run through the CU mounting bracket and directly into the wall opening.

31 Spotwave Wireless Ltd. 4 – Trouble-Shooting 1. Status: The LED on the back of the DU and CU display information regarding the SpotCell system during operation. Action: A red LED indicates a fault condition, a yellow LED indicates an overdrive condition, and blue indicates power on, no faults. A green LED on the CU indicates reduced coverage due to a signal isolation condition. 2. Status: The LED on the DU is not illuminating. Action: Ensure the following:  The cable from the DU is connected to the CU port labelled .  The power supply is connected to the CU or BIAS-T (power inserter).  The power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet.  If the LED is still not illuminating, contact technical support. 3. Status: My cell phone does not work around the location I would like to install the SpotCell DU. Action: Try positioning the DU externally as high as possible. 4. Status: The DU and CU are installed properly, but your cell phone only works in close proximity to the CU. Action: There are three factors that may be affecting coverage as described below:  Visually inspect the area around the CU. Ensure that there are not any large metallic objects directly between the CU and the area where cell phone coverage is not adequate. Remount the CU so that it is out in the open.  If the signal the DU is receiving is very weak (although still strong enough to allow operation), the area around the CU within which a cell phone can function will be relatively small. An effort can be made to improve system performance by raising or otherwise repositioning the DU in an effort to obtain a stronger signal.  check with your vendor that your SpotCell product is compatible with your cell phone service.
32 SpotCell® 1000Xe TROUBLE-SHOOTING 5. Status: The coverage area around the CU suddenly shrinks after a long period of reliable operation. Action: This is most likely due to man made environmental influences such as a large building being erected somewhere in between the DU and the location the DU is receiving a signal from. Repeating the install procedure with the DU in its current position may improve system performance (i.e. re-aligning it in the direction that provides greater signal strength). If this does not help, the DU may have to be physically repositioned at a different location; going through the install procedure starting at Choosing a location for the DU on page 11, is necessary at this point. 6. Information: Remote installation SpotCell characteristics. In order for the SpotCell system to function, there are two basic parameters that must be met. The DU must receive a minimum amount of wireless signal, and a physical environment that blocks wireless signals must be in between the DU and CU (i.e. a wall). If the DU is not receiving an adequate signal, the system will not work, or, it will work but provide a very limited area around the CU in which a cell phone will function. In this instance, it may be possible that only one cell phone will be capable of using the system at a time. This is typical of applications that are on the fringe, or outside of a wireless providers advertised coverage area. Improved performance will typically only be attained by moving the DU to a higher location. 7. Information: Building installations that do not provide for brick, concrete, metal, or other dense material between the DU and CU. Action: In this situation it is possible that the signal emitted by the DU will be received by the CU. This will result in the system lowering the power of the signal it is emitting; and therefore the area around the CU in which a cell phone will function will become smaller. To improve performance in this scenario, it is important to:  Maximize the height of the DU  Separate the DU and CU horizontally as much as possible (within the maximum cable limits as shown in Table 1, Maximum copper core cable length for connecting units on page 8).  Mount the DU and CU in a back-to-back manner.
