1.4 - How It Works

The Force3 PSB BDA amplifies signals from the nearest radio tower to a building and from those radios 

back to the tower to compensate for weak reception caused by distance, topography, building  

structure etc. The BDA receives the signal from an outside antenna, amplifies that signal, and then 

 

rebroadcasts it via the interior antenna(s) where it is picked up by radios. The interior antennas also pick 

up signals from radio devices and pass them to the BDA. The BDA amplifies these signals and passes them 

to the exterior antenna for rebroadcast back to the tower.

CHAPTER 2: Safety

This chapter contains important safety information designed to prevent personal 

injury, equipment malfunction, and/or radio interference. You are responsible for 

ensuring a safe installation.

2.1 - Safety Warnings

•  You are responsible for knowing and following all applicable codes and regulations and for obtaining all 

required permits and inspections.

• Follow all safety precautions contained in this Installation Manual.
•  The installation process may require working in high locations such as roofs and/or ladders. Follow ap

-

plicable safety regulations and best practices to avoid falling. Take care not to drop objects off any high 
area. Cordon off ground areas directly below roof or ladder work when possible.

•  Always use appropriate personal protective equipment such as goggles, gloves, hard hat, etc. as needed 

and as required.

Safety

WARNING: FAILURE TO EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN 

WORKING IN HIGH AREAS COULD CAUSE A FALL 

AND PERSONAL INJURY.
