All Rights Reserved 90-0024-0085-2 Digital Range Extender 78-6911-4961-7 Installation Instructions PURPOSE To "fill in" areas of poor radio coverage due to blockage of the RF signal by large metal objects and to extend working distance from the digital system base station. Radiation Pattern The Digital Range Extender is not an omni-directional antenna similar to 3M’s previous Signal Enhancer; it is more directional. The attached diagram shows its Radiation Pattern.

All Rights Reserved 90-0024-0085-2 How to determine the proper location of the antenna You can visualize the radio coverage area of the Digital Range Extender as a cone with a 75 degree dispersion whose starting point is the antenna. Attached is a two dimensional drawing of the antenna radio coverage, where the area inside the triangle has radio coverage. CMTXAntenna 75°Width = Target AreaDistanceRadio Coverage Area The first step in achieving adequate radio coverage is determining the area where the customer requires increased operations. Once the area has been identified, the distance of the antenna from the target coverage area is calculated as follows: Target Area = Distance * 1.5 Example:

All Rights Reserved 90-0024-0085-2 NOTE: DO NOT use a tool to tighten the pigtail to the Base Station, leave the connection finger tight. 5. Connect coaxial cable to pigtail. NOTE: Be sure to form coaxial cable into a "drip loop" and secure to mounting surface when connecting to Remote Antenna 6. Reconnect power to the Base Station 7. Attach the Base Station Cover. 8. Locate the area in which enhanced radio coverage is desired NOTE: Obstruction-free line of sight to headsets is required with no large solid metal objects between Remote Antenna and headset. 9. Pull the Coax Cable to desired antenna location. 10. Connect the lightning arrestor to Coax 11. Connect the lightning arrestor to antenna 12. Test the system range. • Have someone hold the antenna in the selected location • Verify antenna operation in required area • If necessary reposition or move the antenna in order to get desired coverage 13. Mount Antenna in location in order to get desired coverage 14. Mount the lightning arrestor 15. Run 18 Gauge wire from lightning arrestor to an Earth Ground 16. Test the system range.
