3 Safety Precautions Opening the CDMA equipment could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury. Connect the equipment frame ground to building ground. Operating the CDMA with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe damage to the repeater. RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be maintained between the user and the external antenna of repeater to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov This equipment is for indoor use only and enables the communication wiring to communicate only inside the building.
5 Glossary The following is a list of abbreviations and terms used in this manual. Abbreviation Definition AC Alternating Current ANT Antenna ATT Attenuator / Attenuation CDMA Code Division Multiple Access DC Direct Current DL Downlink GND Grounding GUI Graphic User Interface LED Light Emitting Diode PLL Phase-locked loop PSU Power Supply Unit RF Radio Frequency RSSI Received Signal Strength Indication TEMP Temperature UL Uplink VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio ALC (Automatic Level Control) ALC feature prevents the repeater from exceeding its maximum output power by reducing the gain automatically. ALC is used to adjust the gain to an appropriate level for a range of input signal levels. ASD (Automatic Shutdown) Automatic shut down protects the repeater from the oscillation or excessive input signal and eliminates any degradation to the network. There are three parameters: ASD Level, ASD Time, and ASD Iteration. If the output power gets higher than “ASD LEVEL”, the repeater will shut down for “ASD TIME” seconds and then it will turn the amp back on to measure the output power again. If this repeats at “Iteration” times, the repeater will shut down completely.
6 1. Introduction CDMA MINI is used to fill out areas in CDMA mobile systems, such as base station fringe areas, business and industrial building, etc. CDMA MINI receives signals from a base station, amplifies and retransmits the signals to mobile stations. Also it receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite direction. Both directions are served simultaneously with the following features: Donor antennaServer antennaBaseStation CDMA’s Key Features ♦ Programmable Bandwidth and Band » 5, 10, and 15 MHz contiguous and non-contiguous segments » Any Band Combination within 65MHz PCS Band [A,D,B,E,F,C,G] » Two (2) 5MHz segments ♦ Easy and Quick Installation » Web-based GUI » Plug and Play - DHCP Server @ Local Port » Automatic Easy Setup (Recommended) » Isolation Detection ♦ Auto Level Control & Auto Shut Down - CDMA MINI utilizes the web-based user interface and web server. There is one physical RJ-45 port: • The Local port provides the on-site access to the repeater. - DHCP server at the Local port enables Plug and Play by automatically assigning the IP address to the user’s computer. • Easy Setup has the following features. -It will measure the isolation and limit the maximum gain accordingly. This will also enable Auto Level Control as well as Auto Shut Down. These two features are strongly recommended to prevent the uncontrolled power output, which could have an adverse impact on the RF network and the repeater. For example, ALC will automatically apply attenuation when the input signal strength is increased due to the new base station deployment near the repeater site.

14 3.2 Mounting CDMA MINI is easy to mount using the assembled mounting bracket, which has 4 holes for the provided 5/16” fixing screws. Step 1 : Drill holes directly through the template. Step 2 : Install the set anchor bolts or the plastic anchor bolts on the holes. Step 3 : Attach the mounting bracket to the wall using provided bolts or extra screws.
15 Step 4 : Lean the CDMA to hang the topside of the Guide Ring on the mounting bracket, and push toward the wall to mount. Step 5 : Fix the CDMA MINI using 8 screws.
16 3.3 Grounding A rod on the left side is intended for a building ground. Connect the ground cable to the rod.
17 3.4 RF Cable Connection Step 1 : Connect a cable from a donor antenna to the Donor Antenna Port. Step 2 : Connect a cable from a repeater’s service antenna to the Server Antenna Port. Model Max Gain Minimum required isolation (@Max Gain) CDMA MINI 50dB to 80dB ≥95dB(80dB+15dB) 3.5 Power On Step 1 : Connect the power cord. Step 2 : Plug the power cord into a wall outlet. Step 3 : Check if the green LED at the Top turns on.
18 This repeater follows the below set-up algorithm automatically right after POWER ON < Auto easy-setup Procedure> The below algorithm shows how to control Gain, Input / Output Power Level, Service band, ALC Level, ASD Level and path direction by using keypad display panel.

36 5. Troubleshooting Before contacting your service dealer, please make sure you refer to the following guide. If the CDMA MINI does not work normally after completing the following troubleshooting, please contact your local dealer or service center. Problem Cause Solution No LED on Check the power cord for secure connection. Cannot communicate with the repeater. Redo the ‘4.2, Network Setup’ of this manual. If communication still does not work, please contact Technical Support. Web site: www.r-tron.com Toll Free: 888-31R-TRON The mobile phone is not working well. Check if the power is ON Check if the DL Amplifier and the UL Amplifier of Parameter Status are displayed as ”ON”. 1. Gain, Input/ Output power or DC current are changed randomly under operating of DL ALC, UL ALC, and ASD. 2. Over isolation attenuation range. Oscillation a. Turn off the repeater b. Measure the isolation and verify if the isolation between the donor antenna and the service antenna is enough for the repeater. Refer to the note on page 19 If the measured isolation value is greater than the required isolation value, turn Power ON. The red light turns on. Check if DL Input Power, DL Output Power, UL Output Power, Temperature, DC Voltage, DC Current is out of range. Especially, if the Input Power or Output Power is out of range, please contact Technical Support. Web site: www.r-tron.com Toll Free: 888-31R-TRON
