Every attempt has been made to make this material complete, accurate, and

up-to-date. Users are cautioned, however, that Shyam Telecom Limited

reserves the right to make changes without notice and shall not be responsible for any damages including consequential, caused by reliance of the contents presented, including, but not limited to, typographical, arithmetical, or listing errors.

In areas with unstable power grids (mains) all repeaters must be installed with a voltage regulator ensuring a constant voltage level at the repeater power input. A maximum voltage deviation should remain within the input range to the repeaters for warranty purposes.

All antennas must be installed with lighting protection. Damage to internal modules, as a result of lightning is not covered by the warranty.

3. Safety Instructions and Warnings

3.1. Personnel Safety

Before installing or replacing any equipment, the entire manual should be read and understood. The user needs to supply the appropriate AC power to the Repeater. Incorrect AC power settings can damage the repeater and may cause injury to the user.

Throughout this manual, there are "Caution" warnings, "Caution" calls

attention to a procedure or practice, which, if ignored, may result in injury or damage to the system or system component or even the user. Do not perform any procedure preceded by a "Caution" until the described conditions are fully understood and met.

3.2. Equipment Safety

When installing, replacing or using this product, observe all safety precautions during handling and operation. Failure to comply with the following general safety precautions and with specific precautions described elsewhere in this manual violates the safety standards of the design,

manufacture, and intended use of this product. Shyam Telecom Limited

assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these precautions. This entire manual should be read and understood before operating or maintaining the repeater system.

Next Generation Signal Enhancement

CAUTION

Calls attention to a procedure or practice which, if not followed, may result in personal injury, damage to the system or damage to individual components. Do not perform any procedure preceded by a

CAUTION until described conditions are fully understood and met.

WARNING! This equipment complies with FCC & IC radiation exposure limits

set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be colocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The unit with server antenna must be installed to provide minimum 40 cm separation distance between the server antenna and the body of user or near by person. The donor antenna used for this transmitter must be fixedmounted on outdoor permanent structures with a separation distance o f at least 1.5 meters from all persons during normal operation.

The RF electric performance of the repeater conforms to FCC requirement o f the inter modulation and spurious emission. It avoids interference problems.

3.3. Electrostatic Sensitivity

CAUTION

ESD = ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE DEVICE

Observe electrostatic precautionary procedures.

Semiconductor transmitters and receivers provide highly reliable performance when operated in conformity with the intentions of their design. However, a semiconductor may be damaged by an electrostatic charge inadvertently imposed by careless handling.

Static electricity can be conducted to the semiconductor chip from the centre pin of the RF input connector, and through the AC connector pins. When

Next Generation Signal Enhancement

unpacking and otherwise handling the Repeater, follow ESD precautionary

procedures including the use of grounded wrist straps, grounded workbench surfaces, and grounded floor mats.

4.5. General

Mobile Communications Systems are planned as cellular systems and each cell of the base station is required to provide RF coverage over a certain geographical area as per defined RF power levels. Due to the RF propagation properties, even using high radiated RF powers or complicated antenna systems, there are zones within the coverage area where the RF signal strength from base station remains inadequate for establishing the desired connectivity to mobile users.

Repeaters traditionally are deployed in the Mobile Communication Network to fill in the “Dead Zones” caused by blocking of signals by geographic topologies such as mountains, valleys, dense foliage, high rising urban landscapes and other man-made structures. The distance from the base station also adversely affects the RF signal strength. The user views repeaters as a means to extend base station coverage so as to reduce the number of base stations and thereby accelerate network availability.

Repeater systems are installed after meticulous planning between BTSs and the mobile users to provide RF coverage in the shadowed regions. Repeater

systems are available for different applications and ultimate choice shall

depend on some of the factors mentioned below:

• Area to be provided with coverage.

• Indoor/outdoor coverage.

• Availability of BTSs in the vicinity.

• Antenna isolation to be achieved.

[The Customer is advised to refer to the packing note giving the details of frequency band set & the bandwidths of different sub bands equipped in the repeater: Only SMR800 Band is subject to this FCC Application w/ FCC ID: S3CR4-30-S8]

• The repeater adopts duplex mode and bi-directional amplification for

U/L & D/L signals between the base station and mobile users. It has been designed for outdoor applications to meet the requirements of large number of users in the targeted area.

• It conforms to ETSI standards & safety requirements.

• The system can be incorporated with optional Remote Management

System (RMS). It enables status monitoring, remote configuration & speedy maintenance.

• The system can be customized to meet the requirement of user for

coverage by making provision for radiating required RF power in the DL/UL paths to achieve the coverage. The System is incorporated

with monitoring facility through USB port with easy GUI interface.

• It intercepts signals from the BTS through a DONOR antenna (highly

directional outdoor antenna) and distributes the signals to mobile

users after amplification through SERVER antennas (omni

directional) system in the D/L.

• In the U/L, the signals from the mobile users are picked up by

SERVER antenna and retransmitted to the BTS after processing & amplification in the repeater.

The repeater consists of the following modules/units:

• LNA

• Converter modules

• Power amplifiers

• Power supply modules

• Duplexer filters for transmit/receive directions

• Supervisory module

• A metallic case houses the repeater. Arrangement is made for heat

dissipation especially for amplifiers, which generate more heat. The choice of suitable metal as the case material gives a lightweight design with good heat conduction. The housing is not waterproof

since it is to be used for indoor application.
