Smart-Cell Repeater
1. INTRODUCTION
Smart-Cell is a repeater, which has been designed to improve signals in blanket/shadow
areas inside of buildings to transmit Veri zon’s signals at 700MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz, and
2100MHz frequencies. User may choose filtering configuration according to the specific
site circumstances.
1.1. Warning
1.1.1 FCC Warning Statements
1) FCC Part 15.19 :
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
2) FCC Part 15.105 :
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his
expense.
3) FCC Part 15.21 :
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

4) FCC Part 27.5, IC SRSP-518
Antennas must be installed in accordance with FCC 27.50 and SRSP 518.
Please note that EIRP based on antenna gain after accounting for cable loss should be less
than 50 Watt (47 dBm) for Donor side. For Service side, with 2dBi gain antennas the height
of the antenna above average terrain (HAAT) must not exceed 14.496 m. For different gain
antennas refer to the relevant rules.
5) FCC Warning Label
WARNING. This is NOT a CONSUMER device. It is designed for installation by FCC
LICENSE and QUALIFIED INSTALLERS. You MUST have an FCC LICENSE or
express consent of an FCC Licensee to operate this device.
Unauthorized use may result in significant forfeiture penalties, including penalties in excess
of $100,000 for each continuing violation.

1.1.2. IC Warning state
Smart-Cell Repeater
1) RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2 – (transmitters)
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of
a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To
reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that t he equivalent isotr opically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary
for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionneravec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l’émetteur par Industrie Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention desautres
utilisateurs,
il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotroperayonnée
quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication
satisfaisante.
2) RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2 – (detachable antennas)
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category
II)has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with
the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type
indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain
indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro
de modèle s’il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour
fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal
et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette
liste,ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour
l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
3) RSS-131 Section 5.3 User Manual
The following notice: "The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier
operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced
Verizon User Manua l

Smart-Cell Repeater
by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band
users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator
at the output of the device."
4) RF Radiation Exposure
This equipment complies with RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of at
least 110 cm with 2dBi antenna gain or 500 cm with 15dBi antenna gain between the radiator
and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter. RF exposure will be addressed at time of installation and the use
of higher gain antennas require larger separation distances.
5) RSS-102 RF Exposure
L'antenne du donneur a une antenne 15dBi gain.Antenna doit être installé pour maintenir en
tout temps un minimum de distance d'au moins 500 cm entre la source de rayonnement
(antenne) et toute personne physique.
L'antenne de service comporte une antenne 2 dBi gain.Antenna doit être installé pour maintenir
en permanence une distance minimale d'au moins 110 cm entre la source de rayonnement
(antenne) et toute personne physique.
Cet appareil ne doit pas être installé ou utilisé en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou
émetteur.
1.1.3. etc.
1) Use of unauthorized antennas, cables, and/or coupling devices not conforming with
ERP/EIRP and/or indoor-only restrictions is prohibited.)
2) Home/ per sonal use are prohibited.
