Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense. FCC Part 20 for CMRS applications FCC Part 20 is applied for 800MHz high power Class A Booster models running CMRS services under the following bands:

817 824MHz, 862 869MHz. FCC RF Exposure Limits This unit complies with FCC RF exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment must be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 28cm between the radiator and any persons body. Antenna Installation Installation of an antenna must comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements. The antenna used for this transmitter must be mounted on outdoor or indoor permanent structures. The maximum antenna gain for indoor operation is 2.2 dBi and for the external antenna is 7dBi. Cable loss of at least 2dB is taken into account for all cases. Antennas having a gain greater than these are strictly prohibited for use with this device. In indoor applications the antenna must be installed at a minimum separation distance of 28cm from all nearby persons. Note the following:

In a DAS system, the loss due to cable insertion, splitter, etc., is assumed to be approximately 9 dB. Gmax antenna gain (dBi) = EIRP Pout + Insertion Loss = 38 40 + 9 = 7 dBi EIRP = Pout insertion Loss + Gmax antenna gain (dBi) = 40 9 +7 = 38 dBm ERP = 38 -2.15 = 35.85 dBm = 3.85 W < 5 W ERP Cobham Wireless Coverage Doc. No.00068CDUM Date: 22-Dec-16 Rev. 2.3 www.cobham.com/wireless Page | V SMR 700 800 HIGH POWER PS NFPA CLASS A SIGNAL BOOSTER PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL Compliance with IC Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum

(or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-

radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device. This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 42 cm between the antenna and your body, Conformment la rglementation d'Industrie Canada, le prsent metteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou infrieur) approuv pour l'metteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de rduire les risques de brouillage radiolectrique l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonne quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dpasse pas l'intensit ncessaire l'tablissement d'une communication satisfaisante. La puissance de sortie nominale indique par le fabricant pour cet appareil concerne son fonctionnement avec porteuse unique. Pour des appareils avec porteuses multiples, on doit rduire la valeur nominale de 3.5 dB, surtout si le signal de sortie est retransmis et qu'il peut causer du brouillage aux utilisateurs de bandes adjacentes. Une telle rduction doit porter sur la puissance d'entre ou sur le gain, et ne doit pas se faire au moyen d'un attnuateur raccord la sortie du dispositif. Cet appareil est conforme aux limitations de la norme IC RSS-102 concernant lexposition aux radiations dans un environnement non contrl. Cet appareil doit tre install et utilis avec une distance minimale de 42 cm entre lantenne et le corps de lutilisateur. Cobham Wireless Coverage Doc.

All booster models relevant to this manual operate in the same manner will be referred to as the booster, where any differences in the software configuration procedure or parameters will be addressed in the relevant section. It features up to 24 DSP based, software-controlled, variable bandwidth filters that are user-programmable across the 700 and 800 MHz bands. All public safety technologies are supported. For each filter, the user can specify the start and stop frequencies to reduce the installation time of the signal booster and enable a very wide range of filters selection. Every configuration parameter, including filter tuning and selection, can be controlled via web based management. The patented Cobham Wireless digital RF filter enables simple initial setup for any channel plan and if necessary, allows some basic reconfiguration due to re-banding. The SALC - Smart ALC algorithm will reduce the gain to protect the signal booster from oscillation. When the gain cannot be reduced anymore a shut-down mechanism will be triggered. The signal booster protects against degradation of the systems sensitivity and coverage. This is implemented by the inbuilt AGC per-channel (filter) feature, which permits equalization of the channel levels for uniform coverage. This product meets the rigid requirements as defined by the NFPA and International Fire Code developmental organizations. The amplifier is painted a Fire Life Safety Red, meets NEMA4 compliance for hose down, and provides all Alarming outputs as defined by NFPA 2010, Chapter 24 including system and antenna failures. The signal booster is a DC fed unit. NOTE: Optionally, an external battery charger unit is available as well. The charger is connected to the AC and includes a circuit to charge external batteries with all the dry contact alarms as defined in the NFPA standard: AC failure, Charger failure and Low battery. 1.1 Main Features Class A signal booster for SMR and public safety networks Supports APCO 25 phase 1 and 2 for public safety networks NFPA 72-2010, Chapter 24 and IFC 510.1 Compliant Support of 700MHz D block for LTE network Patented DSP filtering technology:

In Vertical Separation configuration, the Donor antenna can be installed either above or below the Service antenna on a COMMON tower. It is required to set the distance between them to achieve maximum isolation. The figures below illustrate the installations. Figure 2-3. Service above Donor Antenna Figure 2-4. Donor above Service Antenna 2.2.4.3 Horizontal Separation Configuration In the Horizontal Separation configuration, the Donor and Service antennas are installed on two separate towers at approximately the same height. The towers can be either on the same side of the building or on different sides of the building as shown below. Figure 2-6. Service and Donor Antennas Installed on Opposite Sides of the Building Figure 2-5. Donor and Service Antennas Installed on Separate Towers Cobham Wireless Coverage Doc.

The isolation between the Donor and Service antennas is critical especially for high gain, outdoor applications. For proper operation of the Signal Booster, it is recommended that the isolation between the Donor and Service antennas be at least 15dB higher than the Signal Boosters set gain. (Lower isolation can lead to high in-band ripple, oscillations and low signal quality.) Ensure proper vertical or horizontal distance separation between Donor and Service antennas To measure the isolation, proceed as follows:

1. Inject a known signal from a signal generator into one antenna (preferably the Donor antenna). 2. Measure the coupled output from the Service antenna, using the Spectrum analyzer and LNA if applicable. 3. Perform this procedure across the frequency range of both the Uplink and Downlink bands. 4. Register the lower result for system operation. 2.3 Required BTS Information Required BTS Information BTS channels BTS output power per channel BTS antenna gain BTS antenna height and distance from antenna site 2.4 Selecting the Booster Location When selecting a location, verify the requirements described in this section are met. 2.4.1 Installation Location Criteria and Environment Location criteria Application type indoor or outdoor Distance from antenna site and BTS antenna height. It is recommended that the installation location be as close as possible to the antenna site in order to maintain the cable loss to a minimum. General surroundings and accessibility of location Mounting surface - Use a suitable mounting surface, such as a flat back rigid wall. Plan mount according to overall dimensions of the unit enclosure. Plan connection cable clearances - the connections located on the underside of the unit will need at least 300mm vertical clearance below the unit to enable the connections to be made. The minimum bend radius for RF cables must not be less than the recommendations made by the cable manufacturer. Plan the cable runs and ensure adequate space is available. Allow for door opening - ensure that there is sufficient space at the front of the unit to allow the door to be fully opened and for maintenance engineers to get access to the unit with test equipment such as a spectrum analyzer. Allow an additional 500mm of space in front of the unit when the door is fully open. Cobham Wireless Coverage Doc. No.00068CDUM Date: 22-Dec-16 Rev. 2.3 www.cobham.com/wireless Page | 10 SMR 700 800 HIGH POWER PS NFPA CLASS A SIGNAL BOOSTER PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USERS MANUAL Allow for heat dispersion - Mount the repeater so that heat can be dispersed from it. The repeater wall mounting kit ensures an optimum airflow between the wall and the repeater.) Do not block this air channel as it will cause the MTBF of the repeater to drop dramatically, or even in the worst case cause the repeater to fail completely. If possible, use a wall in the shade to minimize the overall sun loading. If sufficient shielding cannot be obtained, an additional sun shield should be mounted. Figure 2-7: Example of a sun shield 2.4.2 Verifying the Link between the BTS and the Signal Booster This test checks the signal strength from the BTS antenna to the Signal Booster. Proceed as follows:

1. Using a Spectrum analyzer, measure the received signal from BTS at the Donor antenna port near the Signal Booster. 2. Adjust the Donor antenna direction to receive the maximum signal strength. 3. Compare the received signal strength with the calculated signal strength from the design phase. In case of discrepancy, check for one of the following:

Antenna out of direction Antenna tuned to side lobe instead of main lobe Antenna connector or antenna cable faulty Line-of-sight problem (obstruction), etc. 4. Register the signal strength of the downlink channel for the system operation phase. 2.5 RF Cable Installation Guidelines For all coaxial connections to/from the Signal Booster - high performance, flexible, low loss 50 ohm coaxial communications cable. All cables shall be weather-resistant type. If the coaxial cables are NOT weather-resistant type: wrap the exterior coaxial cables with insulation and holding tape (Type 3M Rubber splicing tape) for environmental protection and to ensure longer lifetime. Cable length - determined by the Signal Booster installation plan. When calculating the cable length, take into account excess cable slack so as not to limit the insertion paths.

Possible causes: Temperature failure, Synthesizer failure, Hardware failure, High RSSI power DL/UL when the shutdown mechanizm is on. Recommended action: Check the LED and other alarm from the Booster. Contact Cobham Wireless Support Description: Manual shutdown performed by operator from the Web GUI. Recommended action: Review units log Possible causes: Hardware failure, Circuitry failure, Software failure Recommended action: Contact Cobham Wireless Support Description: Booster temperature is exceedingly high due to excessive external heat. Recommended action: Check the Booster case for external causes (sun, hot environment, air flow is blocked). Eliminate the reason for excessive heat. Description: Signal from the Donor antenna (DL) is too low - relatively to the desired output signal configured by the user. Recommended action:

Check the Donor/Base connections and antenna position. Check the signal level of the Donor/Base antenna. If the alarm is still raised, then you can raise, the value of the DL Output Threshold Delta[dBm] as needed. Description: Power Amplifier current is not within limits (too high or too low). If the Mute option is enabled, then this is not a fault since it indicates low Power Amplifier current caused by the mute. Recommended action: Check the LEDs status in the Booster and Contact Cobham Wireless service support. Description: Generates an alarm when a high donor input signal causes system gain reduction Description: This alarm is triggered when the return loss of the Downlink or Uplink antenna or cable connection exceed the allowed limit. This alarm provides an indication of the status of the cable/antenna connected to the antenna. If a cable/antenna is defective, the VSWR is decreased and the alarm is triggered.
