The MASTR III Base Station and Auxiliary Receiver may be used in both trunked and conventional applications. Neither the MASTR III Base Station nor the Auxiliary Receiver may be connected to leased lines in Europe without an additional line- barrier protection device.
LBI-38636S MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMITS Do not transmit with this basestation and antenna when persons are within the MPE Radius of the antenna. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that ALL persons should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by the FCC.

INTRODUCTION SITE PREPARATION AND This manual describes installation connections for a typical MASTR III station combination. INSTALLATION Information provided includes suggested locations and installation of equipment and hardware, interconnection CABINET INSTALLATION and assembly diagrams, alignment instructions, and troubleshooting suggestions.
Double Stacked 37-inch Cabinet installation For limited floor space situations, two 37-inch MASTR III cabinets may be stacked one upon the other. This requires that the bottom cabinet be securely bolted to the floor surface and the top cabinet securely bolted to the Figure 4 - Stacked 37-Inch Cabinets top surface of the bottom cabinet, as shown in Figure 4.
