Safety & Certification Notice
“Only qualified personnel should handle DAS equipment. Any person involved in installation or service
of this equipment should understand and follow these safety guidelines.”
Use this unit only for the purpose specified by the manufacturer. Do not modify or fit any spare parts
that are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer.
This amplifier system is designed to operate from single-phase 120VAC power and should always be
operated with both the neutral and ground wires properly connected.
Do not install or make adjustments to this unit during an electrical storm.
This equipment will generate radio signals and could continuously emit RF energy. Avoid prolonged
exposure to the antennas and maintain a 12 inch clearance from the antenna while the system is
operating.
Power for this equipment shall be supplied through wiring installed in a normal building. If powered
directly from the mains distribution system, it shall be used additional protection, such as overvoltage
protection device.
Only manufacturers recommended antennas, cables, and passive devices shall be used with this
equipment.
Opening the chassis will void the warranty.
Always power off the unit prior to performing any work.
To meet FCC Part 27.50 compliance, the installation height of the donor antenna for an AWS band
(1700/2100 MHz) operation is limited to 10 meters above ground.
WARNING. This is NOT a CONSUMER device. It is designed for installation by FCC LICENSEES 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 of $100,000
for each continuing violation.

FCC Information
FCC ID: 2AEQJ-HE4-001
WARNING. This is NOT a CONSUMER device. It is designed for installation by FCC LICENSEES 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.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by the manufacturer could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
You MUST operate this device with approved antennas and cables as specified by the manufacturer.
Antennas MUST be installed at least 30 cm (12 inches) from any person.
Industry Canada Regulations
IC ID:
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment
Regulations. 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.
The term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.
RF Exposure: 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 by 3.5 dB,
especially where the output 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.
Cet appareillage numérique de la classe [B] répond à toutes les exigences de l’interférence canadienne
causant des règlements d’équipement. L’opération est sujette aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) ce
diapositives peut ne pas causer l’interférence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter n’importe quelle
interférence reçue y compris l’interférence qui peut causer l’opération peu désirée.
Le fabricant nominale de la puissance de sortie de ce matériel est simple transporteur. Pour les
situations lorsque plusieurs signaux porteurs sont présents, l’évaluation devrait être réduite de 3.5 dB,
en particulier lorsque le signal de sortie est réémise et peut provoquer des interférences adjacentes à la
bande utilisateurs. Ce pouvoir est de la réduction par le biais de la sortie d’alimentation ou la réduction
de gain et non par un atténuateur à la sortie du dispositif.
Please note: This unit has been approved for use in Canada under RSS 131, however, consent for the use
of this device to improve mobile communications coverage, must be obtained through your mobile
network provider, prior to placing the unit in operation. Please refer to the Industry Canada document
