7 .  When the 1900 MHz LCD screen is selected, the pass bandwidth is 

indicated at the bottom center of the LCD screen and the Uplink (UL) 

center frequency is at the top of the screen (refer to Figure 4) . The 

corresponding Downlink (DL) frequency automatically adjusts and is 

always 80 MHz higher than the UL frequency shown . For common 

settings please see Table 2 on page 15 .

8 .  Pressing the 1900 MHz “CH Select” button toggles between 5 and 15 

MHz pass bandwidth and increases the UL center frequency in 2 .5 

MHz increments .

9 .  The UL and DL gains are displayed on the LCD screen similar to 

Figures 3 and 4 . UL gain is shown on the left, and DL gain is shown on 

the right .

10 . If a red light or “OVERLOAD” is displayed on LCD screen, turn the 

800 or 1900 MHz knob as shown in Figure 5 .
