1. Safety

Any personnel involved in installation, operation or service of the
Coiler TX Series must understand and obey the following:

1. Coiler TX Series is designed to receive and amplify signals from
one or more base stations and retransmit the signals to one or
more mobile station. Also, the repeater is designed to receive
signals from one or more mobile stations, amplify and retransmit
to the base stations. The repeater must be used exclusively for
these purposes and nothing else.

2. Coiler TX Series supplied from the mains must be connected to
grounded outlets and in conformity with any local regulations.

3. The power supply unit in repeaters supplied from the mains
contains dangerous voltage level, which can cause electric
shock. Switch the mains off prior to any work in such a repeater.
Any local regulations are to be followed when servicing a
repeater. Authorized service personnel only are allowed to
service the repeater while the main is switched on.

4. When working on a repeater on high ground, be careful not to
drop parts or the entire repeater. Falling parts can cause serious
personal injury.

5. Any repeater, including this repeater, will generate radio signals
and thereby give rise to electromagnetic fields that may be
hazardous to the health of any person who is extensively
exposed to the signals at the immediate proximity of the
repeater and the repeater antennas.

TX Series

(Service Antenna Embedded)

This one-person-one-phone capability gives user the ability to use
their cellular phone in any location throughout the enterprise and
beyond. Seamless coverage lets phone users roam freely between
buildings as well as indoors and outdoors without changing phones.

A repeater 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
repeater is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the
base station and to a service antenna directed towards the area
