Page 4: Product Information
Product Description Cellular Specialties, Inc. (CSI) developed the LCD Model Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) for use in enclosed structures where sufficient signal from local cell sites to operate cell phones was unavailable within the building. It is necessary that sufficient signal be available on the roof of the structure. The BDA is connected to an external antenna, usually on the roof, and to one or more internal antennas placed strategically throughout the area where phone service is desired. -

Page 7: Important Safety Information
Important Installation Notes • A high degree of isolation must be afforded to prevent any re-generative feedBack in the system. FeedBack of this nature causes the amplifier to emit a continuous signal of maximum amplitude and could, in some cases, interfere with normal operation of the cell site. -

This name can be changed to whatever the user desires, and can contain blank spaces, capital letters, lowercase letters, and numerals.
- Page 11 Event Readout Displays Three performance measures are tracked within the BDA, and are recorded and displayed as events. Up to 999 of each type of event is recorded. If more than this number of events are detected, the menu system will continue to display 999.
- Page 12 recorded for each instance. A yellow LED will remain illuminated until the event counter is reset to zero. (This feature is not available in firmware version 1.1.0 and prior releases) • Over Temperature Limit: Amplifier junction temperature is monitored continuously. If the temperature rises above a factory determined limit, an Overheat Event will be recorded.
- Page 13 BDA Name and Address Display In addition to its name, a BDA can be uniquely identified on a network with a Web Monitor by its name. The name here is identical to the one in the Screen Saver Display. The BDA name is limited to seven characters. Each BDA accesible by a single Web Monitor on the network must have a unique address within that network between one and seven, inclusive.

The display, however, will not be viewable until password control is invoked by first pressing the proper keys simultaneously (SAVE and MENU).
- Page 19 BDA returns to the Screen Saver display. If the BDA does not detect any key presses within ten minutes of the last key press, the BDA will discard all changes made in the Edit Menu series since the last password entry and revert to the Screen Saver display.

Page 20: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting All cables should be carefully checked for “shorts” and “opens”. The rooftop antenna, if directional, should be checked for proper alignment along the calculated compass heading. Typically, the directional antenna should be aimed at the same site that your handset uses in the area where the outside antenna is placed. -
