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.

FCC Part 15.21

Any changes or modifications (including the antennas) made to this device that are not
expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

RF Exposure Statement

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC RF Radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device and its antenna must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Safety Precautions

Opening the OTA equipment could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury.

Connect the equipment frame ground to the building ground.

Operating the OTA with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe
damage to the repeater.

RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be maintained between the user
and the external antenna of the repeater to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more
information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov

This equipment is for indoor use only and enables the communication wiring to communicate
inside the building only.

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 Iteration.
If the output power reaches higher than the “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 “Iteration” times, the repeater will shut down permanently.

1. Introduction

QUAD BAND OTA is used to fill out areas in QUAD BAND systems, such as base station
fringe areas, business and industrial building, etc.
QUAD BAND OTA receives signals from a base station, amplifies and retransmits the signals

to the mobile stations. It also receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite
direction. Both directions are served simultaneously with the following features:

Solution3. Alarms

∙ Alarm : If an alarm occurs, the alarm LED on the repeater will turn on. Please refer
tothe troubleshooting section of this manual.
∙ It is recommended to NOT change any of the values in the alarm range.

Solution4.

ALC

∙ Automatic Level Control: Type under 30 and then click APPLY and ON.
[Example at the 700M BAND]
For a repeater with 30dBm maximum output power, 87dB maximum gain/
30dB gain Control range, Æ If the signal -57dBm and the ALC is set as
23dBm, the gain will be 80dB to adjust to the output power.
If the input signal is -50dBm, the output power will be 30dBm by the
Limitation of the maximum gain even though the ALC is set as 30dBm

Solution5. ASD

(700, PCS, AWS)

(CELLULAR)

∙ Automatic Shutdown: Type the desired value for the ASD Level and then
Click APPLY and ON.

[Example at the PCS BAND]
For a repeater with 30dBm Maximum Output Power, 97dB Maximum Gain/
30dB gain control range, assuming ASD Level: 33dBm, ASD Time, ASD Count
are already fixed at 3seconds, 10times.
If the composite output power is 33dBm(ASD Level) and higher, the repeater
will shutdown for 3seconds(ASD Time). If the shutdown occurs 10times(ASD
Count), the 11th shutdown will be permanent.
And repeater runs Easy setup automatically. After that, it is activated with

the

re-calculated antenna isolation value.

5. Troubleshooting

Before contacting your service dealer, please make sure you refer to the following guide. If
the QUAD BAND OTA does not work normally after completing the following troubleshooting
tips, please contact your local dealer or service center.

Case 1) LED indicator is not normal

Problem Check Point Solution

Critical POR LED is red Power supply out of range

- Confirm AC 85 - 264V common use power and
power cable.

TD LED is red Tamper detected

- Check the status of the BDA equipment.

BTF LED is red Built-in test failure

- Check which alarm occurred through the WEB
GUI Alarm status.

- UL Out-of-band emissions, DL Spurious

Technical Support

OSC LED is red Oscillation detected

- Check Donor/Server ant. Isolation and if the
value of Gain is less than +5dB, adjust the
location of antenna to secure isolation.

SD LED is red Shutdown

- Check the S/D reason using WEB GUI.

- If the Manual HPA is Off, turn it back On.

- If Overpower S/D occurred and Manual Gain is
setting up, control the Gain setting.

- If Overpower S/D occurred and the ALC is On,
set up the ALC Level 1 to 3dB low. Fix the
ALC Level if it is normal after monitoring for so
long. (It can be possible to occur if Input
Power change is extreme.)

Minor DCF LED is orange Donor Circuitry failure

- DL Donor Power too high

- After checking the DL input Power, adjust the

location of the antenna or install the external
antenna to the permitted range if it is over the
permitted level

DPL LED is orange Donor power too low

- DL Donor Power too low

-.If the DL input Power is too low, adjust the
location of the antenna to be at a high input
value.

CCF LED is orange Coverage Circuitry failure

- UL Power at coverage high, DL VSWR

- If the DPL LED is normal but the CCF LED is

not normal, reduce the UL Gain. (If ALC is On, it
can reduce the UL Gain by controlling the Gain
Offset.)

RE LED is orange Reset engaged

- Reset alarm

- Do not control the Repeater during reset.
