Note for Close-in Installations
The Subscriber Installation Schematic Diagram (Page F2) shows a 10 or 20 dB pad (attenuator)
installed between the power inserter and the modem. Small pads of many values are available
with F connectors to screw in line with the coaxial cable connection, and they may be cascaded to
sum their attenuation. At the time of system set-up it may be determined that such pads are
required in installations less than a mile from the base station site to reduce excess signal.
