Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Warning
Opening the iDEN MINI could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury.
Warning
Connect the equipment frame ground to building ground.
Warning
Operating the iDEN MINI with antennas in very close proximity facing each other
could lead to severe damage to the repeater.
Caution
RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be maintained between
the user and the external antenna of repeater to satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov
Caution
This equipment is for indoor use and enables the communication wiring to
communicate only inside the building.

The following is a list of abbreviations and terms used in this manual.

ALC (Automatic Level Control)
ALC feature prevents the repeater from exceeding its maximum output power by
reducing the gain automatically. ALC is used to adjust the gain to an appropriate
level for a range of input signal levels.
ASD (Automatic Shutdown)
Automatic shut down protects the repeater from the oscillation or excessive input
signal and eliminates any degradation to the network.
There are three parameters: ASD LEVEL, ASD TIME and ASD COUNT.
If the output power gets higher than “ASD LEVEL”, the repeater will shut down for
“ASD TIME” seconds and then it will turn the amp back on to measure the output
power again. If this repeats at “ASD COUNT” times, the repeater will shut down
completely.

1. Introduction
iDEN MINI repeater is used to fill out areas in iDEN mobile systems, such as base
station fringe areas, business and industrial buildings, etc.
iDEN MINI 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 with the following
features:
• 7MHz or 18MHz-bandwidth service @ 800MHz’s
• 5MHz-bandwidth service @ 900MHz’s
• Adjustable Band Edge @ 800MHz’s and 900MHz’s
• Roll Offs: 65dBc at 0.5MHz outside pass-band
