The industrial boosters are shipped only as a naked booster without any installation devices or antennas as it needs for professional installation. Notice: For installations which have to comply with FCC/ISED requirements: English: This device complies with FCC Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. This device complies with Health Canada's Safety Code. The installer of this device should ensure that RF radiation is not emitted in excess of the Health Canada's requirement. Information can be obtained at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/radio_guide-lignes_direct-eng.php. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Antenna Stmt for ISED: This device has been designated to operate with the antennas having a maximum gain of 9 dBi. Antennas having a gain greater than 9 dBi are prohibited for use with this device without consent by ISED regulators. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

    Make sure to connect the correct voltage to the CAP M. For the CAP M to operate, the Mains power must be connected to the CAP M Mains connector. Either an AC or a DC power cable is delivered with each CAP M—the type of power cable delivered is dependent on the type of power supply in the CAP M. ™ M0201AJB Medium Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide © October 2018 CommScope, Inc.

Refer to the color code and pin numbers shown in: Figure 9 on page 50 for the AC power cable • Figure 10 on page 50 for the DC power cable. • With the cable's Mains plug disconnected from the CAP M, turn the circuit breaker on, unscrew the plug's protective cover, and carefully test the plug with a voltmeter to ensure that the voltage and polarity are correct. Once the testing has been completed, turn off the circuit breaker. Unscrew the protective cover from the Mains connector of the unit. ™ M0201AJB Medium Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide © October 2018 CommScope, Inc. Page 51...

Power the CAP M The CAP M is powered on as soon as power is connected to it. Under normal operating conditions, the Power LED turns on briefly when the unit is first detected. It will then go out briefly, followed by an initialization period during which the Power LED flashes slowly while the CAP M is configured. The Power LED remains a steady blue (not flashing) once the unit reaches a fully operational state, which typically occurs within 45 seconds. CAP M Power LED behavior is as follows: Off—CAP M is not powered on. • Steady blue—CAP M is powered on and operational. • Slow flashing blue—CAP M is powered on and initializing. • Rapid flashing blue—CAP M Unit Identifier active via the Flash LED function in the Era GUI. • ™ Medium Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide M0201AJB Page 52 © October 2018 CommScope, Inc.
