  • Page 32: Donor Antenna Installation Guidelines

    CS40-734834-00D-A0 Product Manual April 2020, Rev A CAUTION • Close proximity to the donor or server antennas with the Signal Booster in operation may expose users or installers to RF fields that exceed FCC limits for human exposure. • Turn power to the Signal Booster off when connecting or disconnecting cables.
  • Page 33: Indoor Antenna Installation Guidelines

    CS40-734834-00D-A0 Product Manual April 2020, Rev A 5.3 Indoor Antenna Installation Guidelines • Use omnidirectional antennas (see section 2.4. Optional Accessories) indoors and locate them centrally with respect to the intended coverage area to minimize signal leakage to the outside. Only use directional antennas indoors in special cases when higher gain and directionality would be helpful and RF exposure limits will not be exceeded.
