FCC Part 68
FCC Part 68 Requirements
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and regulations. A label inside the cabinet
frame easily visible with the door open in the upper portion of the
cabinet contains, among other information, the FCC Registration
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If
requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of the devices which may
connect to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to incoming calls. In most,
but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To
be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to
determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
If the dial–in site access modem causes harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not
practical, the telephone company will notify you of the discontinuance as
soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of your dial–in
site access modem. If this happens, the telephone company will provide
advance notice so that you can modify your equipment as required to
maintain uninterrupted service.
If you experience trouble with the dial–in site access modem, please
contact:
Motorola Cellular Service Center (MCSC)

General Safety
Remember! . . . Safety
depends on you!!
Ground the instrument
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all
phases of operation, service, and repair of the equipment described in
this manual. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific
warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the equipment. Motorola, Inc. assumes
no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
The safety precautions listed below represent warnings of certain dangers
of which we are aware. You, as the user of this product, should follow
these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the safe
operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be
connected to an electrical ground. If the equipment is supplied with a
three-conductor ac power cable, the power cable must be either plugged
into an approved three-contact electrical outlet or used with a
three-contact to two-contact adapter. The three-contact to two-contact
adapter must have the grounding wire (green) firmly connected to an
electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and
mating plug of the power cable must meet International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) safety standards.
Do not operate in an explosive
atmosphere
Keep away from live circuits
Do not service or adjust alone
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Operating personnel must:
not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service
Personnel or other qualified maintenance personnel may remove
equipment covers for internal subassembly, or component
replacement, or any internal adjustment.
not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain
conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable
removed.
always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment, unless another person,
capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

General Safety – continued
Use caution when exposing or
handling the CRT
Do not substitute parts or
modify equipment
Dangerous procedure
warnings
Breakage of the Cathode–Ray Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity
scattering of glass fragments (implosion). To prevent CRT implosion,
avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment. The CRT should be
handled only by qualified maintenance personnel, using approved safety
mask and gloves.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install
substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of equipment.
Contact Motorola Warranty and Repair for service and repair to ensure
that safety features are maintained.
Warnings, such as the example below, precede potentially dangerous
procedures throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the
warnings must be followed. You should also employ all other safety
precautions that you deem necessary for the operation of the equipment
in your operating environment.
WARNING
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this
equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and
adjusting.

Optimization Overview – continued
CDMA LMF Product Description
The Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) LMF is a graphical user
interface (GUI) based LMF. This product is specifically designed to
provide cellular communications field personnel the vehicle to support
the following CDMA BTS operations:
The LMF also provides Command Line Interface (CLI) capability.
Activate the CLI by clicking on a shortcut icon on the desktop. The CLI
cannot be launched from the GUI, only from the desktop icon.
Online Help
Task oriented online help is available in the LMF by clicking on Help
from the menu bar.
Why Optimize?
What Is Optimization?
Proper optimization and calibration assures:
Accurate downlink RF power levels are transmitted from the site.
Accurate uplink signal strength determinations are made by the site.
Optimization compensates for the site-specific cabling and normal
equipment variations. Cables that interconnect the BTS and Duplexer
assemblies (if used), for example, are cut and installed at the time of the
BTS frame installation at the site. Site optimization guarantees that the
combined losses of the new cables and the gain/loss characteristics and
built-in tolerances of each BTS frame do not accumulate, causing
improper site operation.
Optimization identifies the accumulated loss (or gain) for all receive and
transmit paths at the BTS site, and stores that value in a database.
The RX path starts at the ancillary equipment frame RFDS RX
directional coupler antenna feedline port, through the RX input port
on the rear of the frame, through the DDRCs, Multicoupler Preselector
Card (MPC), and additional splitter circuitry, ending at a CDMA
Channel Processor (C–CCP) backplane Broad Band Transceiver
(BBX) slot in the C–CCP shelf.
A transmit path starts at the BBX, through the C–CCP backplane slot,
travels through the LPA/Combiner TX Filter and ends at the rear of
the input/output (I/O) Panel. If the RFDS option is added, then the
TX path continues and ends at the top of the RFDS TX directional
coupler antenna feedline port installed in the ancillary equipment
frame.

Optimization Overview– continued
These values are factored in by the BTS equipment internally, leaving
only site specific antenna feed line loss and antenna gain characteristics
to be factored in by the CFE when determining site Effective Radiated
Power (ERP) output power requirements.
Each C–CCP shelf BBX board is optimized to a specific RX and TX
antenna port. (One BBX board acts in a redundant capacity for BBXs
1–12, and is optimized to all antenna ports). A single value is generated
for each path, thereby eliminating the accumulation of error that would
occur from individually measuring and summing the gain and loss of
each element in the path.
When to Optimize
New Installations
After the initial site installation, the BTS must be prepared for operation.
This preparation includes verifying hardware installation, initial power
up, and GPS verification. Basic alarm tests are also addressed.
A calibration audit of all RF transmit paths is performed to verify factory
calibration.
1
A series of ATP CDMA verification tests are covered using the actual
equipment set up. An ATP is also required before the site can be placed
in service.
Site Expansion
Optimization is also required after expansion of a site.
Periodic Optimization
Periodic optimization of a site may also be required, depending on the
requirements of the overall system.
Repaired Sites
Verify repair(s) made to the BTS by consulting an Optimization/ATP
Test Matrix table. This table outlines the specific tests that must be
performed anytime a BTS subassembly or RF cable associated with it is
replaced.
