SAFETY WARNINGS

Throughout this manual, important safety warnings are included to warn of possible
hazards to persons or equipment. A safety warning identifies a possible hazard and

then describes what may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The safety warnings
in the form of Dangers, Warnings and Cautions must be followed at all times. These
warnings are flagged by the use of a warning icon, usually the triangular alert icon
seen below. The exclamation point within the triangular alert icon i s intended to warn
the operator or service personnel of operation and maintenance from factors related
to the product and its operating environment, which could pose a safety hazard.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS CONCERNING USE OF THIS SYSTEM

Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation and
maintenance of this product. Only a qualified and authorized personnel should carry
out adjustment, maintenance or repairs to the components of this equipment.

DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK

–

This equipment is intended to be installed indoor. Wet conditions increase the
potential for receiving an electric shock when installing or using electrically powered
equipment. To prevent electrical shock when installing or modifying the system
power wiring, disconnect the wiring at the power source before working with
un-insulated wires or terminals.

CAUTION: RF EXPOSURE

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation
distance of 100 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device
and persons during device operation.
To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. The
antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

WARNING: RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION

Access to the Dekolink 700/800 DMSB signal booster installation location is restricted
to SERVICE PERSONNEL and to USERS who have been instructed on the restrictions
and the required precautions to be taken.

ATTENTION: SYSTEM TESTING

All system tests should be performed with FM signals.

1 INTRODUCTION

Deko4078SD Digital Multi-Channel Signal Booster provides cost effective indoor and
outdoor communications coverage for the complete 700/800MHz Public Safety
spectrum assigned to the wireless networks.

Deko4078SD meets public safety infrastructure design requirements that include
higher base station site elevation, higher power output per channel, transmission
only on traffic channels that are in use and single receiver omni-directional site.

The system supports advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology,
programmable digital filters - where each filter supports up to 24 channels, and
programmable bandwidth of up to 12 MHz. These capabilities enable the user to
quickly and simply customize the Booster according to changing site requirements.

A SmartALC power control algorithm automatically optimizes the gain setting by
learning the actual range of RSSI levels over a user-specified period of time. The
SmartALC algorithm prevents oscillations, reduces the amount of isolation required
by the system and optimizes the system to minimize noise rise at the donor c ell site.

An intuitive GUI based Management Tool (RMT) provided with the Booster is used to
configure, monitor and manage the Booster through an Ethernet connection to the
system.
