4.1 Important Installation Guidelines
The ProtectLink VHF-UHF Bi-Directional Amplifier is designed for indoor use only.
The ProtectLink BDA must be installed in a vertical orientation (i.e. Connectors on the
bottom of the unit).
Inadequate isolation between the outside and inside antennas may reduce the
maximum available gain. Careful consideration of the layout and placement of the
system is needed to minimize this possibility and to minimize the amount of signal
leaking from the building.
Do not disassemble the Signal Booster.
Important:
The remote annunciator unit is for installation in
a locked room such as a fire control room,
a locked enclosure, or
an equivalent enclosure that requires a tool to open.
DANGER:
Refer to the 1.3 Safety Guidelines section for proper antenna selection
and installation. To avoid serious injury, death and/or damage to the
Signal Booster, do not install donor or server antennas near overhead
power lines or high power components. Allow enough distance so that
falling antennas would not come in contact with those components.
DANGER:
Electric shock may occur if the Signal Booster is installed in close
proximity to water.
WARNING:
Amplifier or handset damage may occur if a handset is connected
directly to the Signal Booster or to the coax that leads to the Signal
Booster.
WARNING:
The Signal Booster must be connected to ground for protection.
WARNING:
We recommend that installers do not wear jewelry or metal accessories
when installing this Signal Booster.
