This is NOT a CONSUMER device. This device is designed for installation by an installer approved by an ISED LICENSEE. You must have an ISED LICENSE or express consent of an ISED Licensee to operate this device. Under Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED. 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 ISED RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the antenna and your body. The installation procedure must result in the Industrial Zone Enhancer complying with the relevant parts of Radio Standard Specification RSS-131. In order to meet the requirements, it may be necessary for the installer to reduce the UL and/or DL output power for certain installations.

Also that the ERP of in-band noise should not exceed -43 dBm in a 10 kHz measurement bandwidth and finally that the ERP of noise in spectrum more than 1 MHz outside of the passband should not exceed -70 dBm in a 10 kHz measurement bandwidth. This is not a formidable task since in most of the passive DAS installations, the signal loss in the DAS due to splitting to multiple antenna and cable losses is significant. As well as the above the MBF-3707-3708 series repeater is more likely to be used in a multicarrier environment

(more than 2 carriers), which in turn will reduce the intermodulation products produced by the device. Good engineering practice must be used regarding the signal booster's in-band noise radiation. Thus, the gain of the signal booster should be set so that the ERP of the output noise from the signal booster (allowing for losses after the booster) should not exceed the level of -43 dBm in 10 kHz measurement bandwidth. If the noise level measured exceeds the aforementioned values, the signal booster gain should be decreased accordingly. Similarly, the maximum O/P power per carrier of the booster and associated passive infrastructure should be set so that any intermodulation products generated do not exceed a level of -30 dBm ERP in any 10 kHz measurement bandwidth. If the level of intermodulation exceeds the aforementioned value, maximum power per carrier should be decreased accordingly. Finally, the ERP of noise on a spectrum more than 1 MHz outside of the pass band should not exceed -70 dBm in a 10 kHz measurement bandwidth. In the event that the out of band noise measured at the service antenna input is more than -70 dBm per 10 kHz measurement bandwidth, an external band pass filter should be added to attenuate the out of band noise level. The MBF-3707-3708 Series Repeater has a noise level of <-44 dBm in 10 kHz measurement at 1 MHz spectrum outside the passband of the signal booster, an in-band noise level <-43 dBm in a 10 kHz bandwidth and intermodulation products better than -13 dBm. System integrators must ensure that the ERP of noise and intermodulation products generated in the booster meet the deployment rules, to do this they must ensure the following criteria is met for all intentional radiators within the DAS. Cable Loss (dB) + Splitter Loss (dB) - antenna gain (dBi) - 2.15 dB (EIRP to ERP conversion) must be greater than or equal to 26 dB. The noise and intermodulation products at the antenna input port should be calculated based on the following equation. Equation - Input Noise or intermodulation products to service antenna Equipment noise dBm + Service Antenna gain Antenna splitter losses in dB cable loss in dB Or Equipment intermodulation products dBm + Service Antenna gain Antenna splitter losses in dB cable loss in dB MBF-40 SMR 700/800 Repeater for Public Safety Document 00046UM Issue 2.7 | ECO C14363 www.axellwireless.com March, 2022 Page 9 of 83 MBF-40 SMR 700/800 Repeater for Public Safety Product description and user manual Example: In band Noise Signal booster connected to 10 service antennas with a 100 m long inch cable. Losses of such a cable with the connectors = ~ 12 dB Gain = ~ 2 dBi Assuming 10 service antennas: antenna splitter losses = 11 dB Based on the above equation the in-band input noise to the antenna should be:

-43 + 2 -12 -11 = -64 dBm Example: Intermodulation products Signal booster connected to 10 service antennas with a 100 m long inch cable. Losses of such a cable with the connectors = ~ 12 dB Gain = ~ 2 dBi Assuming 10 service antennas: antenna splitter losses = 11 dB Based on the above equation the Intermodulation products to the antenna should be:

-13 + 2 -12-11= -34 dBm NOTE: In this example there is no need to reduce the gain of the equipment to attenuate the in- band noise. NOTE: In this example there is no need to reduce maximum power per carrier of the equipment to reduce the level of intermodulation products. Example: Out of band noise Signal booster connected to 10 service antennas with a 100 m long inch cable. Losses of such a cable with the connectors = ~ 1 2dB Gain = ~ 2 dBi Assuming 10 service antennas: antenna splitter losses = 11 dB Based on the above equation the out of-band input noise to the antenna should be:

-44 + 2 -12-11= -65 dBm NOTE: In this example there is a need to add an external band pass filter to attenuate the out of band noise by at least a further 5 dB 1 MHz away from the band edge. If fewer antennas are deployed, then additional filtering will be required. Conclusion:

Good engineering practice requires that in general when the in-band noise measured at the service antenna input is more than -43 dBm per 10 kHz measurement bandwidth, the gain of the device reduced until the levels are within the required limits. Good engineering practice requires that in general when the levels of intermodulation products noise measured at the service antenna input is more than -30 dBm per 10 kHz measurement bandwidth, the maximum power per carrier is reduced until the levels are within the required limits. Good engineering practice requires that in general when the out of band noise measured at the service antenna input is more than -70 dBm per 10 kHz measurement bandwidth at 1MHz away from the passband, an external band pass filter should be added to attenuate the out of band noise level. All PBE Axell repeaters include high selectivity duplexers and filters to attenuate the out of band noise. Should additional filtering be required, we have a comprehensive range of interference filters which can be supplied upon request. MBF-40 SMR 700/800 Repeater for Public Safety Document 00046UM Issue 2.7 | ECO C14363 www.axellwireless.com March, 2022 Page 10 of 83 MBF-40 SMR 700/800 Repeater for Public Safety Product description and user manual Conformit aux rgles de dploiement FCC et ISDE concernant le rayonnement du bruit Les rgles de dploiement exigent que l'ERP des produits d'intermodulation ne dpasse en gnral pas -30 dBm dans une bande passante de mesure de 10 kHz. Elles exigent galement que l'ERP du bruit dans la bande ne dpasse pas -43 dBm dans une bande passante de mesure de 10 kHz et enfin, que l'ERP du bruit dans le spectre de plus de 1 MHz en dehors de la bande passante ne dpasse pas -70 dBm dans une bande passante de mesure de 10 kHz. Ce n'est pas difficile respecter car dans la plupart des installations DAS passives, la perte de signal dans le DAS due la division en plusieurs antennes et aux pertes de cble est importante. En plus de ce qui prcde, le MBF-3707-3708 est plus susceptible d'tre utilis dans un environnement multi-

porteuses (plus de 2 porteuses), ce qui son tour rduira les intermodulations produites par l'appareil. Les bonnes pratiques d'ingnierie doivent tre utilises en ce qui concerne le rayonnement de bruit dans la bande de l'amplificateur de signal. Ainsi, le gain de l'amplificateur de signal doit tre rgl de manire ce que l'ERP du bruit de sortie de l'amplificateur de signal (en tenant compte des pertes aprs l'amplificateur) ne dpasse pas le niveau de -43 dBm dans une bande passante de mesure de 10 kHz. Si le niveau de bruit mesur dpasse les valeurs susmentionnes, le gain de l'amplificateur de signal doit tre diminu en consquence. De mme, la puissance O/P maximale par porteuse de l'amplificateur et l'infrastructure passive associe doivent tre paramtres de manire ce que tout produit d'intermodulation gnr ne dpassent pas un niveau d'ERP de -30 dBm dans une bande passante de mesure de 10 kHz. Si le niveau d'intermodulation dpasse la valeur susmentionne, la puissance maximale par porteuse doit tre diminue en consquence. Enfin, l'ERP du bruit sur un spectre suprieur 1 MHz en dehors de la bande passante ne doit pas dpasser -70 dBm dans une bande passante de mesure de 10 kHz. Dans le cas o le bruit hors bande mesur l'entre de l'antenne de service est suprieur -70 dBm par bande passante de mesure de 10 kHz, un filtre passe-bande externe doit tre ajout pour attnuer le niveau de bruit hors bande. Le rpteur de la srie MBF-3707-3708 a un niveau de bruit de -44 dBm avec une mesure de 10 kHz et un spectre de 1 MHz en dehors de la bande passante de l'amplificateur de signal, un niveau de bruit dans la bande d'environ

<-43 dBm dans une bande passante de 10 kHz et des produits d'intermodulation meilleurs que

-13 dBm. Les intgrateurs doivent sassurer que lERP (puissance rayonne effective) des produits de bruit et dintermodulation gnrs dans le booster respecte les rgles de dploiement. Pour ce faire, ils doivent sassurer que les critres suivants sont respects pour tous les lments rayonnants intentionnels au sein du DAS.

General Safety Warnings Concerning Use of System Throughout this manual, there are "Caution" warnings. "Caution" calls attention to a procedure or practice, which, if ignored, may result in injury or damage to the system, system component or even the user. Do not perform any procedure preceded by a "Caution" until the described conditions are fully understood and met. To prevent electrical shock when installing or modifying the system power wiring, disconnect the wiring at the power source before working with uninsulated wires or terminals. Before installing or replacing any of the equipment, the entire manual should be read and understood. The user needs to supply the appropriate ac or dc power to the repeater. Incorrect power settings can damage the repeater and may cause injury to the user. Please be aware that the equipment may, during certain conditions become very warm and can cause minor injuries if handled without any protection, such as gloves. RF radiation, arising from transmitter outputs connected to PBE Axells equipment, must be considered a safety hazard. This condition might only occur in the event of cable disconnection, or because a spare output has been left un-terminated. Either of these conditions would impair the systems efficiency. No investigation should be carried out until all RF power sources have been removed. This would always be a wise precaution, despite the severe mismatch between the impedance of an N type connector at 50 ohm, and that of free space at 377 ohm, which would severely compromise the efficient radiation of RF power. Radio frequency burns could also be a hazard, if any RF power carrying components were to be carelessly touched!

Antenna positions should be chosen to comply with requirements (both local & statutory) regarding exposure of personnel to RF radiation. When connected to an antenna, the unit is capable of producing RF field strengths, which may exceed guideline safe values especially if used with antennas having appreciable gain. In this regard the use of directional antennas with backscreens and a strict site rule that personnel must remain behind the screen while the RF power is on, is strongly recommended. Where the equipment is used near power lines or in association with temporary masts not having lightning protection, the use of a safety earth connected to the case-earthing bolt is strongly advised. When installing, replacing or using this product, observe all safety precautions during handling and operation. Failure to comply with the following general safety precautions and with specific precautions described elsewhere in this manual violates the safety standards of the design, manufacture, and intended use of this product. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. PBE Axell assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these precautions. This entire manual should be read and understood before operating or maintaining the repeater.

Restricted Access Location Attention:

Electrostatic Sensitivity Caution:

Class 1 Laser Access to the unit installation location is restricted to SERVICE PERSONNEL who have been instructed on the restrictions and the required precautions to be taken. The unit should therefore be installed in location where children are unlikely to present. Observe electrostatic precautionary procedures. ESD = Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Device. Static electricity can be conducted to the semiconductor chip from the centre pin of the RF input connector, and through the AC connector pins. When unpacking and otherwise handling the repeater, follow ESD precautionary procedures including use of grounded wrist straps, grounded workbench surfaces, and grounded floor mats. The repeaters described in this manual are equipped with class 1 lasers, as per definition in EN 60825-1 Caution - Un-terminated optical receptacles may emit laser radiation. Exercise caution as follows:

Use of controls or adjustments or performances of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure Do not stare into beam or view with optical instruments. Optical transmitters in the Fibre optic converter can send out high energy invisible laser radiation. There is a risk for permanent damage to the eye. Always use protective cover on all cables and connectors which are not connected. Never look directly into a Fibre cable or a connector. Consider that a Fibre can carry transmission in both directions. During handling of laser cables or connections, ensure that the source is switched off. Regard all open connectors with respect and direct them in a safe direction and never towards a reflecting surface. Reflected laser radiation should be regarded as equally hazardous as direct radiation.

It offers seamless coverage in any indoor environment such as tunnels, subways, and large buildings. Signals are coupled off from a nearby base station using an Optical Master Unit (OMU) and then distributed via Fibre to one or more MBF-

40 repeaters. The MBF-40's high output power allows for greater coverage whilst deploying fewer units. Even though providing high output power, the MBF-40 uses convection cooling, subsequently increasing the repeater's MTBF. These remote units can be installed at a distance of up to 20 km from the base station site, offering great flexibility when providing RF coverage in areas where off air transmission is not a preferable solution. A distributed antenna system (DAS) can be used to distribute the signal throughout the area to be covered. PBE Axell can provide a complete solution including design, site surveys and equipment related to the POI (Point Of Interface) such as combiners, filters, cross band couplers, etc. Note the following:

For sites requiring FCC compliance, the system can only be installed for in-building applications. For sites requiring IC compliance (Canada), the system can be installed for both in-building and outdoor applications.

Ensure good EMV protection. If insufficient Electromagnetic Protection is provided, or if EMV measures are not taken, warranties issued by PBE Axell are not valid. Connect the lightning protection The lightning hazard to electric and electronic equipment consists in the interferences of direct lightning current infections and high surge voltages induced by the electromagnetic field of nearby lightning channels or down conductors. Amplitudes from cloud-to-earth lightning amounts to several 10kA and may last longer than 2ms. The damage caused depends on the energy involved and on the sensitivity of the electronics systems. Ensure that lightning protection measures are taken to create a reliable repeater site. Protect all coaxial cables and power cables from the transients caused by lightning. Fit all cables with suitable lightning protection devices. Figure 4-1: Example of EMV protection for a repeater system For detailed information please refer to IEC 61024-1 and 61312-1 for international standards for protection of information systems against LEMP (Lightning Electromagnetic Pulse), including radio transmitters. They define proper planning, installation, and inspection of effective lightning protection systems.

The relay supplies 50 mA maximum current Location Criteria Location criteria For wall mount installations:

Wall compatibility - check the suitability of the wall on which the unit is to be to be fitted. Plan mount - check the actual fixing centres (see below) and overall dimensions of the unit enclosure. o The unit is supplied with two wall mounting brackets; when the unit is mounted on these brackets adequate ventilation is provided between the unit and the wall to which it is fixed. Plan connection cable clearances - the Optical, RF and power 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 Optical and 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 analyser. Allow an additional 500 mm of space in front of the unit when the door is fully open. 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.

Due to the weight of the Repeater, it is NOT recommended to fix to a hollow wall). The Repeater wall mount brackets assembly should be fixed to a solid wall (these include brickwork, block work, and concrete). Always check that there are no pipes or cables hidden in the wall beneath the area to be drilled. Various pipe and cable detectors are available for this type of inspection. To provide secure fixing to a solid wall, the most common method is drilling and plugging. The size of fixing is dependent on the item to be fixed and the nature of the wall, The Repeater should be fixed with mild steel, M6 (50mm to 75mm) rawlbolts or similar. Care must be taken to ensure the alignment of the four fixings. A spirit level or plumb line should be used to ensure horizontal/vertical alignment. Figure 4-7: M6 Rawlbolt recommended for wall mount. MBF-40 SMR 700/800 Repeater for Public Safety Document 00046UM Issue 2.7 | ECO C14363 www.axellwireless.com March, 2022 Page 33 of 83 MBF-40 SMR 700/800 Repeater for Public Safety Product description and user manual To mark and drill the wall 1.

MBF-40 SMR 700/800 Repeater for Public Safety Product description and user manual Integration into the AEM NOTE: Integration into the AEM is only performed from the AEM side no action is required from the MBF-40 side. The AEM automatically connects to the repeater and downloads all the repeater information. The AEM then configures the repeater with the IP address where alarms and reports should be sent to, and optionally with a secondary IP address where the repeater can connect to in case connection to primary IP fails. When heartbeat reports and alarms are sent from the repeater to the AEM also the latest information about the status and RF-configuration is included. This means that the AEM operator always has information about the current status in the AEM database (and does not need to call the repeater to find this out). NOTE: Once the repeater is integrated to the AEM, all changes to the repeater should preferably be done from the Element Manager in order to ensure that the database always contains correct information. What Next?

The MBF-40 unit is now ready for operation. You may monitor the unit's general status via the OMU II Main window and if the node is faulty (red LED), access the dedicated configuration screen in Basic or Advanced view for more information. NOTE: Consult the OMU II User Manual for additional information on RF and Optical adjustments.

If in the unlikely event of any unit failure, the faulty repeater should be replaced. A failed unit can be removed and replaced with a spare while the rest of the system (other repeaters) is still operating. However, the power supply of the failed repeater should be isolated from the power before anything is replaced. In the event of a failure PBE Axell's support service should be contacted for advice on a possible module replacement or other action to be taken. If a shipment of a repeater back to PBE Axell is made within the period of guarantee the original packing must be used. Component Replacement - None of the modules in the repeater can be replaced without removing the repeater from its mounting and opening the cover of the repeater. In the event of a malfunction in the system, the status of the antenna systems as well as the continuity of the cabling should be checked before replacing any modules within the repeater. Cautions and General Statements The Input / Output RF level power level monitoring windows are for indication only and should not be considered a replacement for laboratory test equipment accuracy of measurement of actual signal levels. The error of measurement will be high at low input levels. The normal operating range of signal measurement is as follows:

o Downlink Output range +20 dBm to +43 dBm o Uplink Output range -10 dBm to +5 dBm Product Disposal CAUTION! Disposal of this product must be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Tools 10.1 Tool Description Fibrescope connected to a PC running the appropriate viewing software. It is highly recommended that some form of Fibre viewing equipment such as a Fibrescope is used to ensure that all Fibre connections are clean before termination; failure to do so could result in poor system performance Illustration Lint-free swabs (box) Lint-free wipes (pack) Fujikura One Click cleaner 99% isopropyl alcohol (can) Cletop type S Cassette Cleaner MBF-40 SMR 700/800 Repeater for Public Safety Document 00046UM Issue 2.7 | ECO C14363 www.axellwireless.com March, 2022 Page 81 of 83 MBF-40 SMR 700/800 Repeater for Public Safety Product description and user manual 10.2 Dry F/O Cleaning Procedure:

WARNING! Invisible laser radiation might be emitted from disconnected Fibres or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Before cleaning the optical connectors on the OMU it is 1. advisable to clean the connector of the mating cable being attached to the optical port. An unclean optical connector is often the cause for reduced system performance. A bit of dust or oil from a finger can easily interfere with, or block light. Fortunately, it is very easy to clean the connector. Be sure to use the correct procedure for the given connector. When disconnected, cap the SC/APC connector to keep it clean and prevent scratching the tip of the ferrule. Use a product specially designed for the purpose, such as the Cletop type S Cassette Cleaner. 2. Begin by dry cleaning the F/O bulkhead connector (shown below is the Fujikura One-Click in use). IMPORTANT!

Always make sure there is a way of inspecting the connector after cleaning. Cleaning can actually leave the end-face in a worse condition, since alcohol residue is one of the most difficult contaminants to remove. 3. Remove the protective cap from the cleaning-head end of the One Click cleaner, lift the protective end-cap on the Fibre connector and offer-up the end to the Fibre connector 4. With the cleaning-head end fully engaged in the connector, push until an audible click is heard 5. Without fully withdrawing the cleaning head end push it in again twice more, each time until an audible click is heard. 6. Withdraw the One Click cleaner and replace the protective end cap. 7. Inspect the Fibre connector using a Fibrescope. On the PC monitor, verify that there is no contamination present on the connector end-face. 8. If the connector is dirty, clean it with a wet cleaning technique followed immediately by dry cleaning. This is to remove any remaining residue from the wet clean (the following steps demonstrate a wet cleaning technique).
