1.6 How it Works

The GuardianB amplifies signals that reach a building from the nearest radio tower, and from radios inside the building going back to the

tower. This compensates for weak reception caused by distance, topography, building structure, etc. The BDA receives the signal from

an outside antenna, amplifies that signal, and then rebroadcasts it via antenna(s) inside the building, where it can then be picked up by

radios inside. In the reverse direction, interior antennas also pick up signals coming from radios, where they are amplified by the BDA,

and then passed to the exterior antenna for rebroadcast back to the tower.

1.7 AWordAboutSafety

Follow all safety precautions in this manual. This information is designed to prevent personal injury, equipment malfunction,and/or

radio interference. You are responsible for ensuring a safe installation.

Your installation may require working in high locations such as roofs and/or ladders. Follow applicable safety regulations and best
