RF Configuration Menu FAQ’s • What is Auto Limit Control (ALC)? ALC is used for custom installations. If the repeater is having difficulties with isolation check, or if you want to “power down” the repeater ALC should be manually set. Attenuation may also be added for reducing power levels. ALC also provides optional U/L and D/L settings. - ALC controls the output power. - If you want to use the ALC function, Gain Balance Control should be turned off.

Warning: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation The radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna should not be less than 50cm during normal operation. The gain of the antenna is 12 dBi.
