CU DU Cable Power Adapter Figure 2.1: Components of the SpotCell package 4 SpotCell 100, Release 1.0 2.2 Unpacking and inspecting Physically inspect the box for shipping damage before unpacking the SpotCell. 1. Remove the SpotCell components from the box. 2. Remove all packing material from the Donor Unit (DU) and the Coverage Unit (CU). Save the packaging in case the SpotCell is ever stored or shipped to SpotWave for service. 3. Check the contents of the package to make sure you have received everything ordered and verify that the mounting kit contains all the listed parts. 4. Check the DU and CU for shipping damage. Pay particular attention to the units outer shell casing. Spotwave Wireless Inc. 5 GETTING STARTED 6 SpotCell 100, Release 1.0 3 Installation 3.1 Preparing for installation The following are general considerations and preparations that should be looked at before installing the SpotCell. 3.1.1 Signal Strength The SpotCell system brings signals from an area of adequate coverage to an area with poor or non-existent coverage. It is the DU which captures a good signal, and the CU that provides the signal to the area with poor cell phone coverage. The DU can be mounted inside or outside, as long as it is in an area where your cell phone works. Generally, the better your cell phone works at the location the DU is mounted, the better the system will perform. 3.1.2 DU Height In fringe areas, locating the DU as high as possible will provide optimal performance. Spotwave Wireless Inc. 7 INSTALLATION 3.1.3 Avoid obstructions General placement of the DU and CU must be in unobstructed areas. For example, the CU should not be placed on a wall behind any type of furniture (behind items such as metal filing cabinets would be a particularly poor location). Similarly for the DU, the front of the unit should not be directly facing any type of metal structures, which are often found on building rooftops. 3.1.4 Proximity to power source The indoor unit must be located within 20 feet of a power source. 3.1.5 Distance between DU and CU Although you should separate the DU and CU as much as possible, there are only 25 meters of cabling provided to connect the two units. Make sure the general location of the two units is within 25 meters. Note: An additional cable extension, made from copper core RG6 quad shield cable, may be inserted, to a maximum of 50 meters total length. 3.1.6 Orientation of DU relative to CU If possible face the DU and CU in opposite directions, and back to back while maintaining maximum separation. While not a requirement, some installations will perform better if the units are positioned in this manner. 3.1.7 Barrier between DU and CU The greater the physical obstruction between the DU and CU, the better the performance. Dense obstructions such as brick, concrete or metal walls are better than wooden or plaster walls. 3.2 Positioning the SpotCell DU (outward facing unit) It may not be possible to install the DU indoors when installing the SpotCell in remote areas. An effort should be made to install the DU outdoors and the DU should be installed as high as possible when the installation is in a remote area, 8 SpotCell 100, Release 1.0 3.2.1 Installing the DU Three methods of positioning the DU (based on location) are outlined in the following procedure. Specifically they refer to installing inside buildings, on external walls, and on rooftops. 1. Position the DU (but do not mount it) as close to the final desired mounting location as possible. The CU does not have to be in its final location while positioning the DU and it is helpful to have the CU near the DU.

,QGRRUV 5RRI

([WHUQDOZDOO While not strictly required, it is highly recommended the DU be installed facing a window when installed indoors. The CU does not have to be in its final position at this time, but it should not be brought outdoors. 3. 2. Connect the DU and CU with the enclosed cable. Tighten the cable to the DU and CU with a wrench (an 1/8th of a turn tighter than fingertight) to ensure moisture does not penetrate. If installing the SpotCell 100: Connect the power supply wires to the CU by holding down the blue tabs and pushing the positive wire

(marked with text) into the positive (+) side of the connector (see figure below). While still holding down the blue tab, push the remaining negative wire (identified by no text) into the negative (-) side of the connector. Release the tab to secure the power supply wires. If installing the SpotCell 111/112: Simply connect the power supply as shown below. SpotCell 100 power connector SpotCell 111/112 power connector Figure 3.1: Connecting power supply to CU Spotwave Wireless Inc. 9 INSTALLATION 4. Ensure the switch on the CU is in the Install (1) position. 5. Plug the power supply adapter into a wall socket. CU switch Figure 3.2: CU switch location 6. To align, hold the DU upright and:

,QGRRUV 5RRI

([WHUQDOZDOO Rotate the face of the DU from left to right in front of the window. Rotate it in a full circle. A time of 10 seconds is appropriate to fully complete the rotation. Rotate the face of the unit from left to right within the constraints allowed by the wall. wall window If not in front of a window, rotate the DU in a complete circle. 7. As you are rotating, you will notice that the LED on the back of the DU will light up green, red or amber; this is normal. 10 SpotCell 100, Release 1.0 8. Again, rotate the DU as in step 6, this time stopping each time the LED is green and note the direction the DU is facing (the LED may turn green once or multiple times). This is an indication of the signal strength the DU is receiving from the wireless phone tower. The DU should be mounted facing the direction the DU was pointed for the longest period of time the LED was green during its rotation. 9. For inside installation and exterior wall mountings, it is recommended that various walls and locations within the structure be tested as suitable locations to position the DU. For each location the DU is tested and the LED is green, the display on the bottom of the CU indicates the relative signal strength that the DU is receiving. Figure 3.3: Displayed signal strength Mount the DU in the location that has the highest indicated signal level. Note: On the upper floors of tall buildings, it may be necessary to tilt the DU down to get a good signal (green LED). 10. Proceed to page 15 for mounting instructions once the DU location has been optimized. 3.3 Choosing a location for the SpotCell CU (indoor unit) The CU should be optimized and mounted, after the DU has been optimized and mounted. Generally, the CU should be mounted in a location as far as possible from the DU, while being within the area where you require improved coverage. Spotwave Wireless Inc. 11 INSTALLATION If mounted on a ceiling, the unit should be downward facing, and in the center of the area requiring cell phone coverage. If mounted on a wall, the unit should be positioned in the middle of the area to be covered side-to-side, and off-centered slightly front-to-back, approximately as shown below in Figure 3.4:CU position and signal coverage.. The unit should be mounted as high on the wall as possible. Figure 3.4: CU position and signal coverage. 3.3.1 Positioning the CU 1. Ensure that the DU position has been optimized and has been mounted in place. 2. Move the switch on the CU from Install to Active. 3. Hold the CU in the position it is to be mounted. In an ideal application, the display on the CU will show 5 bars. If the display is not showing 5 bars and there are alternate possible mounting locations, move the CU to the alternate locations and check the display. Place the CU in the location showing maximum number of bars (see Figure 3.5:Displayed Signal Strength). In the event the number of bars is not changing, which is very possible, choose a location that is most convenient. 12 SpotCell 100, Release 1.0 Figure 3.5: Displayed Signal Strength 4. Refer to page 15 for mounting instructions. Spotwave Wireless Inc. 13 INSTALLATION 14 SpotCell 100, Release 1.0 4 Mounting All necessary hardware required for mounting on internal/external walls, or pipes is included in the mounting kit. 4.1 Running the cable through a wall If it is necessary to run a cable through a wall, use a masonry or wood drill bit to drill a 5/8-inch diameter hole. After passing the cable through, use the putty in the installation kit to fill the hole around the cable. 4.2 Mounting the DU The DU may be indoor or outdoor mounted.

Spotwave Wireless Inc. 27 TROUBLE SHOOTING INFORMATION 4. Status: While optimizing the DU for installation, you found that the LED turned green in multiple locations, indicating each had adequate signal strength. How do you determine which location is optimal for the DU?

Action: Look at the signal level indicated on the display on the bottom of the CU each time the green light appears on the DU during alignment. Mount the DU in the location as indicated having the highest signal level. Figure 6.1:Displayed signal strength. below shows an example of the signal strength display. Figure 6.1: Displayed signal strength. 5. Status: The DU and CU installed properly, but your cell phone still

does not work. Action: There are three factors that may be affecting coverage as described below:

Visually inspect the area around the CU. Ensure that there are not any large metallic objects directly between the CU and the area where cell phone coverage is not adequate. Remount the CU so that it is out in the open. If the signal the DU is receiving is very weak (although still strong enough to allow operation), the area around the CU within which a cell phone can function will be relatively small. An effort can be made to improve system performance by raising or otherwise repositioning the DU in an effort to obtain a stronger signal. In Install mode, signal strength is shown on the CU display. check with your wireless provider if your phone is A or B band in 800 MHz. Verify on the back of the CU or DU that the system is SpotCell A or B. It should be the same as your phone.

28 SpotCell 100, Release 1.0 6. Status: The coverage area around the CU suddenly shrinks after a long period of reliable operation. Action: This is most likely due to man made environmental influences such as a large building being erected somewhere in between the DU and the location the DU is receiving a signal from. Repeating the install procedure with the DU in its current position may improve system performance (i.e. Putting the CU switch into Install and spinning the DU around twice, aligning it in the direction indicated by the green LED on the second spin.). If this does not help, the DU may have to be physically repositioned at a different location; going through the install procedure starting at page 7 is necessary at this point. 7. Information: Remote installation SpotCell characteristics. In order for the SpotCell system to function, there are two basic parameters that must be met. The DU must receive a minimum amount of wireless signal, and a physical environment that blocks wireless signals must be in between the DU and CU (i.e. a wall). If the DU is not receiving an adequate signal, the system will not work, or, it will work but provide a very limited area around the CU in which a cell phone will function. In this instance, it may be possible that only one cell phone will be capable of using the system at a time. This is typical of applications that are on the fringe, or outside of a wireless providers advertised coverage area. Improved performance will typically only be attained by moving the DU to a higher location. Spotwave Wireless Inc. 29 TROUBLE SHOOTING INFORMATION 8. 9. Information: Residential (or building) installations that do not provide for brick, concrete, metal, or other dense material between the DU and CU. Action: In this situation it is possible that the signal emitted by the DU will be received by the CU. This will result in the system lowering the power of the signal it is emitting; and therefore the area around the CU in which a cell phone will function will become smaller. To improve performance in this scenario, it is important to:

Maximize the height of the DU

Separate the DU and CU horizontally as much as possible

Mount the DU and CU in a back-to-back manner.

It is recommended to use 50 meters of cable in between the DU and CU if possible in an effort to vertically and horizontally separate the system units. Information: Proper alignment rotation Action: Make sure the DU is rotated once completely within the area available for rotation, and then move through the same rotation again. DU alignment is based on optimizing the direction the DU is facing after initially establishing the range of signal available by rotating the DU in a circle. Once the DU has been rotated in a circle and established the level of signal available, it now sets a threshold based on the surroundings to determine when the LED will illuminate green. If the DU is not pointing in a direction that is within a certain range of the highest signal it encountered since being in Install mode, the LED will not turn green. Additionally, the LED will not illuminate green if a minimum signal level is not achieved during the initial rotation. 30 SpotCell 100, Release 1.0 Appendix A SpotCell 100 System Specifications Note: Spotwave Wireless has the right to change specifications without notice.

To this end, the following notes have been provided as a reference to help installers remain safe and think about safety in all aspects of the installation. The following notes are to be considered as informational only, and not exhaustive or complete. D.1 Lightning Never attempt to install the DU outdoors while a lightning storm is in progress in your immediate or neighboring vicinity. The National Lightning Institute says for every five seconds between the flash of lightning and a thunderclap, the lightning is one mile away. If lightning is within 3 miles (15 second count between flash and thunder) of your location, do not attempt an installation. D.2 Working Aloft When working aloft, it is best to work in pairs. Avoid attempting procedures alone that are best carried out with a spotter or by two people. Spotwave Wireless Inc. 43 SAFETY HINTS D.2.1 Power Tools Proper eye protection should be worn when using a drill or any other type of power tool. D.2.2 Working with Ladders Properly secure your ladder and work in pairs. Make sure the ladder is properly tied off and use an insulated ladder when working around power lines. D.2.3 Grounding Ensuring the DU is properly grounded in external installations will help to prevent property damage and personal injury during lightening storms. D.3 Overhead Power Lines While overhead power lines may appear to be insulated, they most likely are not insulated. Always thoroughly investigate your surroundings prior to installing masts or the DU in an outdoor location. Never attempt installation without adequate lighting, as shadows and trees can obscure power lines. 44 SpotCell 100, Release 1.0
