NOTICE: The manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single-carrier operaon. For situaons when mulple carrier signals are present,
the rang must be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is reradiated and can cause interference to adjacent-band users.
This power reducon is to be by means of input power or gain reducon and not by an aenuator at the device output.

1.2 - Features & Benefits
The Force-5 amplifier offers the following fea-
tures and benefits:
•Powerful in-building amplifier with 31dB of
adjustable gain level.
•Extends cellular signals in areas with poor cov-
erage due to geographical loca and/or
building design.
•Suitable for large areas up to about 80,000
square feet depending on outside signal
strength and carrier frequency.
•Sophis cated power control maintains maxi-
mum output power at 3 wa s EIRP.
•Automa oscilla det and protec-
system powers down the amplifier to pre-
vent harmful radio interference.

1.4 - How It Works
The Force-5 amplifier boosts cellular signals from
the nearest tower to phones in a building and
from those phones back to the tower to compen-
sate for weak r caused by distance,
topography, building structure, and/or other rea-
sons. The amplifier 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 cellular phones, modems, and data
cards. The interior antennas also pick up signals
from cellular devices and pass them to the ampli-
fier. The amplifier boosts these signals and passes
them to the exterior antenna for rebroadcast back
to the tower.

This chapter contains important
safety information designed to pre-
vent personal injury, equipment mal-
function, 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 applicable 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.
WARNING: FAILURE TO EXERCISE CAU-
TION WHEN WORKING IN HIGH AREAS
COULD CAUSE A FALL AND PERSONAL
INJURY.

•Some components may be heavy and/or
bulky. Always use proper and carrying
techniques when handling components, espe-
cially when working on a ladder, roof, or other
area with a fall hazard.
•
•Always use a properly installed Cellphone-
Mate lightning protector between the exterior
antenna and the amplifier.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO PROPERLY
INSTALL A LIGHTNING PROTECTOR CAN
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER,
ANTENNAS, AND WIRING.
•Always power offthe amplifier before working
on the roof of the building or anywhere in
close proximity to the external antenna.
•Allow at least 24 inches (60cm) of separa
between interior antennas and humans or ani-
mals.
•Allow at least 24 inches (60cm) of separa
between exterior antennas and all persons.
•Comply with all antenna separa require-
ments to prevent signal oscilla
CAUTION: SIGNAL OSCILLATION CAN
CAUSE RADIO INTERFERENCE WITH
CELLULAR TOWERS AND RESULT IN
CIVIL AND/OR CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
when determining the mounng locaon of the
rooop donor antenna, look for any other
antennas that may be present and determine
what they are for. If there is any type of RF
enhancement system present in the building or
any carrier antennas on the roof a full spectrum
analysis will need to be performed before.

This chapter describes how to plan
your amplifier installa including
how to determine the best loca
for the inside and outside antennas.
3.1 - Overview
The general amplifier installa process follows
these steps:
1. Decide where to mount the exterior antenna.
This will generally be on the wall or roof of the
building in the loca with the strongest sig-
nal. You will need to decide whether to use an
omnidir antenna mounted v cally
or a Yagi direconal antenna pointed at
the cellular tower (line of sight). You must
also consider aaching a grounded lightning
protector between the exterior antenna and
the amplifier.
2. Decide where to mount the interior
antenna(s), being sure to take separa
requirements into account. In general, long
narrow spaces will benefit most from direc-
flat-panel antennas while more square
spaces will benefit more from omnidir
dome antennas.
3. Decide where to mount the amplifier. This
should be in a secure indoor loca near a
grounded power source.
