0.3 HISTORY
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:
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:
These draw the attention of personnel to hazards that may cause 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. by mishandling or 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.
Cautions:
Risk of explosion: if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The mPICOSeries Digital Pico Repeater (hereinafter called “mPICO”) is designed for single/dual/triple
band network. It can wireless transmit, bi-directional amplify uplink and downlink signals and is designed
for eliminating communicational coverage blind spots.
mPICO is used in indoor locations where small-scale signal coverage for metropolitan environment is
desired (e.g., hotels, department stores and shopping malls, underground parking lots, convention
centres, arenas, etc.)
Uplink and downlink with digital carrier selective frequency can efficiently amplify BS signal and MS
signal.
With both gain and frequency temperature automatic adjustment ensures equipment in a stable
operation.
With out-of-band suppression and supports automatic gain temperature compensation function
which can maintain regular operation among working temperature.
Local Operation and Maintenance Terminal (OMT): operating status and parameters can be set or
monitored by OMT locally.

As shown in the above figure, the downlink BS signals go through DT port to the system and then to
downlink by duplexer separation. The DL signals will go through digital filter. Then the DL signals will be
sent to downlink PA to amplify power and filter via duplexer. After amplification, the signals are
transmitted at the MT port to the service antenna.
On the UL, the signals transmitted by the mobile go through MT integration duplexer and digital filer then
to uplink PA to power amplify and filter via duplexer, finally get back to BS by donor antenna.

3.1 WARNINGS AND ALERTS
Radio Frequency Energies
There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where
recommended limits for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases,
restrictive measures or actions may be necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.
High Voltage
The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent, as far as reasonably, practicable danger.
Any work activity on or near equipment involving installation, operation or maintenance must be, as far as
reasonably, free from danger.
Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving adverse weather, extreme temperatures,
wet, corrosive or dirty conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system must be suitably
installed to prevent danger.
Protective Earthing
Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must be suitable for the
purpose and properly maintained and used.
Handling Precautions
This covers a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or
restraining an object, animal or person. It also covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such
as pulling a lever, or operating power tools.
Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic
devices are ESD-sensitive. Ensure the use of a grounded wriststrap or equivalent while working with
ESD-sensitive devices. Transport, store, and handle ESD-sensitive devices in static-safe environments.
Manual Handling
During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid potential physical
injury to the installation personnel and the equipment.
Antenna separation
For optimal operation, the physical separation of the MT and DT antennas should satisfy the condition for
I > GMAX +15dB, where I represents isolation between MT and DT ports.
Environmental
The installation location for the product should be indoor. Also it should have enough room, air flow and
good heat dissipation.
Powering
The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all modules within the equipment. Depending on the
product variant, it is recommended that the PSU operates on a dedicated circuit breaker or fused circuit.
Grounding Requirement
Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes antennas and all cables connected to
the system. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is properly grounded.
Cable Routing
The RF cables for mPICO have SMA (F) connectors; other cable connects the equipment with the
external PSU.

power source, the product must be grounded by connecting the “earth wire” of the power cord to the
ground terminal of the AC supply.
Li-ion battery is provided with this system to ensure power is supplied to the system monitoring unit and
to ensure the alarm message could be sent to OMC effectively in case of mains power failure.
Caution: Be careful of the risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.
3.4.4 RF CONNECTION
Donor antenna connection: Connect the cable form donor antenna to DT port
Service antenna connection: Connect the cable form Service antenna to MT port
