The device may only be opened and serviced by specialist personnel!
Only use approved accessories!
Before using the antenna in/on buildings, please make sure you are informed
of the minimum distances required to sensitive devices (e.g. in hospitals, at gas
stations, at places labelled as especially endangered, including explosive ma-
terials, combustible fluids and gases etc.)
Do not rely on this device for emergency communication!
Use exclusively the components included in the scope of delivery. The fixed-
connected coaxial cable must not be subjected to tension in the laid status.
Route the cable so that it cannot rub against other objects or be crushed. The
bending radius of 20 mm must not be fallen below!
The coaxial line may not be extended or shortened! Product Approval ex-
pires!
If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. vacation), the wall
power supply should be pulled out of the power socket!
A specialist with know-how about the applicable professional standards
should be commissioned with mounting the antenna outdoors!
With the installation on a house or on an antenna mast, suitable measures
are to be taken for lightning protection on the house!
Instructions for Disposal
Do not dispose of the device in domestic waste!
Electronic devices are to be disposed of in compliance with the directive
governing old electric and electronic devices via the local collection sites
for electronic waste!

Function Description
The Active Antenna Àis suitable for the frequency band range GSM 900, GSM 1800
and UMTS Band I. It supports the transmission process GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE,
UMTS, HSDPA and HSUPA. The connection to the terminal devices is effected using
the mounting UMTS data stick included in the supplies.
The set of an active antenna consists of a basic device [antenna with integrated am-
plifier], a 15 m long coaxial line, a wall power supply unit  and a mounting with
integrated connecting antenna for UMTS data sticks.
The following connections are found on the mounting:
• Plug connector for the connection of the coaxial line to the active
antenna
• 2,1mmbarrelconnectorforsupplyvoltage
The supply voltage required is provided by the enclosed external power supply unit
(8 V, 0,9A).
The active antenna amplifies the UMTS mobile radio signal between the terminal
device and the outdoor antenna in transmission and receiving direction. Further-
more, an additional yield of approx. 7dB is achieved through the directive array. In
the GSM frequency bands the antenna is passive, no boosting is effected.
Note transmission direction!

Mounting and getting started
Before installation
Please check the supplies for completeness.
Test whether your UMTS data stick fits into the mounting .
The coupler casing included in the supplies is for the safe connection
between coaxial line and the mounting of the UMTS data stick.
ATTENTION! Do not stick the coupler casing onto the coaxial line before
laying work is completed! The coupler casing cannot be removed after
connection!
If the penetration through the wall is planned with, or must have, a small
diameter, please read and observe the mounting steps described in the
following!
Finding out preconditions
To ensure you to get a sound UMTS signal please ask your mobile radio provider
where the nearest transmitter mast is located in the surroundings of your home.
Now lay down the position of the antenna in the outdoor or indoor area.
You have three different installation variants for your active antenna:
Antenna within the house
The active antenna Àis positioned within the house at a place at which a sound
UMTS signal is available.
Antenna outside on the house
The active antenna Àis mounted to the house wall with the enclosed mounting
bracket .
Antenna on an antenna mast
The active antenna Àis mounted to the antenna mast with the enclosed moun-
ting bracket and the loop clamps .
Function Test
1. Find out where the transmitter mast is located in relation to the antenna.
2. Align the antenna approximately; the logo should point to the location of the
transmitter mast. An angular deviation of 30° is possible [when mounting to a
mounting bracket].
3. Now use the software of the mobile ‚phone provider to start up PC or notebook.
4. Connect data stick via USB cable [not included in supplies] with PC or notebook.
5. Connect mounting for UMTS data stick with the power supply unit and
start up.

6. Draw the protection cap carefully from the coaxial line.
Note! The protection cap is needed for the wall duct.
7. Connect the HF contact that is now exposed carefully with the middle
connector of the data stick mounting The antenna is in operation when the
green LED of the data stick mounting lights up.
Attention! This connection is not permanent! [only for testing]
8. Now insert the data stick into the mounting , clamp between the mounting
brackets respectively.
9. Check transmitter performance with the provider software. Change the
position of the antenna if necessary.
10. Establish and fix the position of the antenna.
11. Draw the HF contact off the coaxial line carefully from mounting 
subtract.

24
Permanent Mounting
Slip the protection cap over the HF contact of the connector as protection
against soilage for possible wall ducts and when laying the cable!
Now plan the laying of the coaxial cable.
Within the house (example without wall duct)
Lay the cable to the place where you want to set up the mounting for the UMTS
data stick. Note that a bend radius of 20 mm may not be undercut.
Strip the protection cap carefully from the coaxial line.
Pus the coupler casing over the HF contact [A] at the end of the coaxial line and
press the magenta catch element tight [B].
Connect the coaxial line with the connection provided for the UMTS stick on the
mounting . The connector of the coaxial line catches audibly.
Connect the power supply unit with the mounting 
again.
The LED on the mounting of the UMTS stick lights up
when power is supplied to the antenna and shows you
that the device is ready for operation.
You can now insert the UMTS stick of your mobile radio
provider into the mounting and operate it via a USB
extension cable [not included in the supplies] to your
terminal device [PC, notebook].

Mounting to the Wall
Drill a sufficiently large hole through the house wall. Now mount the mounting bra-
cket near the wall duct with the mounting material found in the supplies.
Then mount the antenna to the mounting bra-
cket.
When mounting to the wall it is possible to adjust the antenna by 30 degrees each
to the left or to the right. Avail yourself of this adjustment possibility to align your
antenna optimally to the transmitter mast.
Now continue as described in the section „Within the house [p. 10].

Mounting to the Antenna Mast
Install the mounting brackets  supplied to the bot-
tom of the antenna with the screws supplied.
Now insert the loop clamps through the lateral
holes of the mounting bracket. Tighten the mounting
bracket [incl. antenna] with the loop clamps to
the mast and align it to the transmitter mast.
Note transmission direction!
Now continue as described in the Section „Within the House“ [p. 10].
