There be experiencingoscillation. This can be attributed to either the quality of your inputsignal or having your outdoor antenna and indoorantenna too close together.Pleasereviewthefollowingguidelinestohelpresolvethisissue:
1. Adjustthedirectionoftheoutdoorantenna.Ifthesystemisreceivingaveryhigh inputsignal,youcanpointyouroutdoorantennaawayfromthecellulartowerto reduce the strength of the input signal and therefore, reduce the oscillation. Alternatively if your system is receiving a very poor quality signal (weak and unusablesignal),youcanhightheantennatoincreasethestrengthoftheinput signal. Sometimes this may require completely repositioning the antenna to a locationwhereyoucanachievealineofsitetothetower. 2. Increasetheseparationbetweentheoutdoorantennaandtheindoorantenna. Thiscanbeachievedbyincreasingthedistancebetweenthetwoantennasorby placingbarriersbetweenthem. 7 FCCRFExposureStatement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolledenvironment.Endusersmustfollowthespecificoperatinginstruction for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
