0.5 SAFETY NOTICES AND ADMONISHMENTS
This document contains safety notices in accordance with appropriate standards. In the interests of
conformity with the territory standards for the country concerned, the equivalent territorial admonishments
are also shown.
Any installation, adjustment, maintenance and repair of the equipment must only be carried out by trained,
authorized personnel. At all times, personnel must comply with any safety notices and instructions.
Specific hazards are indicated by symbol labels on or near the affected parts of the equipment. The labels
conform to international standards, are triangular in shape, and are colored black on a yellow background.
An informative text label may accompany the symbol label.
Hazard labeling is supplemented by safety notices in the appropriate equipment manual. These notices
contain additional information on the nature of the hazard and may also specify precautions.
Warning Notices:
These draw the attention of personnel to hazards that may cause death or injury to the operator or others.
Examples of use are cases of high voltage, laser emission, toxic substances, point of high temperature, etc.
Alert Notices:
These draw the attention of personnel to hazards that maycause damage to the equipment. An example of
use is the case of static electricity hazard.
Caution notices may also be used in the handbook to draw attention to matters that do not constitute a risk
of causing damage to the equipment but where there is a possibility of seriously impairing its performance,
e.g. bymishandlingor gross maladjustment. Warnings and Cautions within the main text do not incorporate
labels and may be in shortened form.
CAUTION: danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The mBDA Digital Band Selective Repeater (hereinafter called “mBDA”) is designed for a single network
system, like 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz, AWS, 2100MHz or 2600MHz etc. It can wireless
transmit, three-way amplify BTS uplink and downlink signals and enlarge coverage range. Digital band
selective technology effectively amplifies the desired BTS signals and provides superior out-of-band
rejection, avoid cell interference and improve call quality.
Main Features
Wideband digital processing technology, instant operation bandwidth reaches 25MHz for GSM, 20MHz
for LTE and 15MHz for WCDMA.
It supports three wideband channels; each channel can turn off separately. Operation band is
0.2-25MHz adjustable for GSM, 3-20MHz adjustable for LTE, and 5-15MHz adjustable for WCDMA.
High power bandwidth linear PA ensures signals no distortion amplification.
The system gain is compensated automatically according to the temperature variation within the
enclosure, which ensures stable operation under ambient temperature.
Has off-line isolation testing, downlink VSWR alarm, downlink input filed intensity and output power
testing function, which is convenient for installation and commissioning.
Supports multi-band expansion, convenient for configuration and upgrade.
Remote software upgrade is available.
Local Web Operation and Maintenance Terminal (Web-OMT): operating status and parameters can
be set or monitored by PC locally.
Operation Maintenance Center (OMC): system working parameters and communication configuration
can be set or inquired remotely through the build-in WCDMA modem. If alarm is generated, the
equipment will dial up to OMC automatically.
Build-in Li-ion battery ensures that alarm information can automatically report to OMC in case of
equipment power failure.
Designed for all weather installation –waterproof, damp-proof and omni-sealed.
