Optional Accessories
• Inadequate isolation between the outside and inside antennas may cause regenerative feedback in the system. This feedback can
cause the amplifi er to emit a continuous signal at maximum amplitude and, in some cases, interfere with normal operation of the donor
site. Careful consideration of the layout and placement of the system is imperative to minimize this possibility and to minimize the amount
of signal leaking from the building. See installation tips for general guidelines.
• The installer should refer to the Safety Guidelines section and the Important Safety Information section for proper antenna selection
and installation. To avoid serious injury or death and damage to the repeater, do not install donor or server antennas near overhead power
lines or high power components. Allow enough distance so that if antennas should fall they will not come in contact with those compo-
nents.
• Close proximity to the donor or server antennas with the repeater in operation may expose the user or installer to RF fi elds that
exceed FCC limits for human exposure.
WARNING! AMPLIFIER OR HANDSET DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF A HANDSET IS CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE REPEATER
OR THE COAX THAT LEADS TO THE REPEATER.
