MANUAL565 SMR REV A 960-1008-001 3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Cellular Specialties, Inc. developed the Model 565SMR Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) for use in enclosed structures where sufficient signal from local cell sites to operate cell phones was unavailable within the building. It is necessary that sufficient signal be available on the roof of the structure. The BDA is connected to an external antenna, usually on the roof, and to one or more internal antennas placed strategically throughout the area where phone service is desired. The external antenna is an omni-directional antenna. Internal antennas are usually omni-directional although various other types may be used for certain installations. The BDA amplifies both the "uplink" (phone to tower) and "downlink" (tower to phone) signals thus facilitating communications to and from the local cell site. There are four amplification stages on the downlink and four on the uplink for a total of +65dB nominal gain for each link. Both links have manual gain control settings accessed through DIP switches on the rear of the unit plus an AGC control for both the uplink and downlink. There are LED indicators for power on, transmitter on, uplink overload and downlink overload. An automatic amplifier safety shutdown circuit is also provided, which will disable the transmitters for ten seconds should the uplink or downlink overloads be reached to prevent excessive intermodulation and oscillation. The BDA is equipped with an interface connector designed for use with the optional CSI-MHH External Monitor. The pin-out of the MONITOR connector is shown below.

Columbia, MD 21046 Subject: Request for Confidentiality Dear Sir or Madam: Cellular Specialties, Inc. respectfully requests that the schematic diagrams, block diagram, and circuit descriptions submitted with the application for certification under FCC ID NVRBA56X-01 be withheld from public disclosure. This request is made under the provisions of Section 0.457 (d) of the Commission’s rules and Section 0.552 (b) (4) of the Freedom of Information Act. This product has been developed at considerable expense, and disclosure of this information would place Cellular Specialties, Inc. at a competitive disadvantage. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely yours, Donald C. Mills Vice President, System Products

FCC ID: NVRBA56X-01 IC: 4307A-BA56X8 This device complies with Parts 90 and 2 of the FCC rules, and with Industry Canada specification RSS-131. Regulatory compliance label for CSI-BDA565 (800 MHz. SMR Band).

November 22, 2002 Mr. Scott Wentworth Retlif Laboratories 101 New Boston Rd. Goffstown, NH 03045 Re: Adjustment of the Model 565 In-building Amplifier in the Field The CSI Model 565 In-Building Amplifier offers only adjustment of attenuation (below its factory-set maximum gain level) to the technician during installation and maintenance activities. This adjustment is dependent on the physical environment in which the amplifier is to be installed and is described in the Installation and Users Manual. This is the only adjustment accessible without opening the amplifier. Frequency response and gain thresholds are factory set and in no circumstance are they to be adjusted in the field. Regards, Donald C. Mills Vice President, System Products

Evaluation of the CSI Model 565 SMR BDA For Compliance with FCC Guidelines For Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields 18 December 2002 General The CSI Model 565 SMR Bi-directional amplifier is considered to be a “mobile” device operating in the Land Mobile Service authorized under part 90. As such, the equipment is required to be evaluated for RF exposure if operated below 1.5 GHz with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1.5 watts or more, as defined in 2.1091 of FCC rules. Downlink For the downlink portion of the Model 565 SMR BDA, the maximum rated output power is not greater than +29dbm (794 mW). As stated in the Model 565 SMR Manual, the maximum authorized antenna gain is 3 dBi, corresponding to a typical Omni-Directional antenna. Neglecting cable losses, the worst-case EIRP will be 1.59 watts or an ERP of 0.97 watts, (ERP=EIRP/1.64). This is well below the 1.5 watts and therefore excludes the downlink from routine evaluation. The Cautions in the Model 565 SMR manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a minimum 20- centimeter separation. Uplink For the uplink portion of the BDA, the maximum rated output power is not greater than +28 dbm (631 mW). As stated in the Model 565 SMR Manual, the maximum authorized antenna gain is 3 dBi, corresponding to a typical Omni-Directional antenna. Neglecting cable losses, the worst case EIRP will be 1.59 watts, or an ERP of 0.97 watts (ERP = EIRP / 1.64). This is well below the 1.5 watts and therefore excludes the uplink from routine evaluation. The Cautions in the Model 565 SMR manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria required to maintain a minimum 20-centimeter separation.
