  • Page 10: Installation Location Requirement

    Digital Repeater User Manual Installation Location Requirement 1) It is appreciated that the repeater is installed in a cool, dry and ventilated room without erosive gas and smoke and without leakage on its proof. 2) Besides above, a cool and ventilated wall of which sun-proof and waterproof is expected. 3) Besides above, common wall, tower or high pole is ok.
  • Page 11 Digital Repeater User Manual recommended the donor antenna to be installed in an attic.  Testing the signal strength received from donor antenna mounted in site by mobile phone:  Please select the top of the building to install the donor antenna if the total floors are less than 7, and must select a place like balcony or platform lower than 7th floor for the donor antenna if the buildings are over 7 floors.
  • Page 12 Digital Repeater User Manual  In order to avoid interference, please note that the donor antenna should be far away from the following objects.  Metal  High-voltage line  RF antenna  High-voltage transformer  Repeater is a two-way signal amplifier. So proper isolation between donor antenna and server antenna is necessary in order to avoid self-oscillation.
