2. Introduction 2. Introduction 2.1. Purpose Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distribution system.
2. Introduction The ION can be easily set-up and supervised from a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote units are commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An auto leveling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick. The entire system as well as complete network of systems can be managed remotely most efficiently by Commscope`s A.I.M.O.

Alarms and Troubleshooting All alarms occurring can be checked via software at the Master Unit to where a message is transmitted when the software acknowledges a valid alarm. A new alarm message will not be repeated if the reason for the alarm is cleared or if the alarm continues. A new alarm message will be generated if the alarm is interrupted for at least five seconds after acknowledgement. Refer to the corresponding software documentation of the Master Unit for details.
6. Maintenance 6. Maintenance 6.1. General Read and observe chapter 1.2 Health and Safety. Caution: Rotating fans. Risk of injury in operation. Wear tight-fitting clothes and disconnect mains before connecting or replacing or cleaning the fan unit. Caution: The unit reaches high temperature in operation. Risk of burns by hot surface. Do not touch the unit before it has sufficiently cooled down. Note: Note: The Remote Unit does not require preventative maintenance measures.
6. Maintenance 6.2. Replacing the Fan Unit Replacement of the fan unit is not required as a preventative measure. Only if an alarm indicates a malfunctioning of a fan must the unit be exchanged. Note: Please observe that the fan unit can only be replaced as a whole. Do not remove the fans separately. Note: NEVER blow out the fan unit with compressed air. This would cause permanent damage to the unit. Read and observe chapter 1.2 Health and Safety as well as the instructions in section 6.
6. Maintenance 6.3. Cleaning the Heat Sink To avoid a malfunctioning of the Remote Unit, the heat sink should be cleaned in case of pollution. In order to prevent any damage, proceed as explained in the following. Note: Read and observe chapter 1.2 Health and Safety as well as the instructions in section 6.1 General before starting with the replacement procedure. Then, proceed as follows: 1. Switch off the Remote Unit.
