• The CS40-734834-00D-A0 Signal Booster is designed for indoor use only. • The CS40-734834-00D-A0 Signal Booster must be installed in a vertical orientation (i.e. Connectors on the bottom of the unit). • Inadequate isolation between the outside and inside antennas may cause regenerative feedback in the system.
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.
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.
Mounting Holes Mounting Holes Figure 5-1: Signal Booster Mounting Using the CS40-734834-00D-A0 as a template, mark the four (8) locations for the wall anchoring system screws. Move the CS40-734834-00D-A0 unit and drill the mounting holes at the marks in the wall.
