Use a NETGEAR antenna cable of no more than 3 m between the Power Injector and
the access point.
Power Injector Package Contents
For optimal performance, the combined length of both NETGEAR antenna
cables should not exceed 13 m. If the length exceeds 13 m, the overall performance
will decrease.
Antenna cables have intrinsic loss at 2.4 GHz which can decrease range performance. The
longer the cable, the higher its loss. To achieve optimal performance, use the shortest antenna
cable you can from the antenna to the ANT24BNA booster. Cable loss between the booster
ANT24BNA and antenna in the transmit and receive functions cannot be compensated.
However, the NETGEAR antenna cable between the ANT24BNA booster and the wireless
access point can be as long as 10 m without performance reduction. By the same token, a 3 m
NETGEAR antenna cable between the optional injector and wireless access point can be added
without performance reduction.

NETGEAR 6 VDC 1.5A Power Injector ANT24BDC for bi-directional booster ANT24BNA
Installation Guide
Warranty card
In receive mode, the booster amplifies the signal by 10 dB with a low noise amplifier. This
amplification can compensate for cable loss up to 10 dB (booster to wireless node only). In
transmit mode, the booster accepts the 802.11b input signal as low as 5 dBm and amplifies it to 27
dBm (variable power amplifier). The typical output power of an 802.11b wireless node is 15dBm
or more. So, there is a 10 dB margin to fully compensate for cable loss. The loss in the cable
between the booster and the wireless node only can be completely compensated in transmit and
receive mode up to 10 dB loss without any reduction of performance.
Support information card
If any of the parts are incorrect, missing, or damaged, contact your NETGEAR dealer. Keep the
carton, including the original packing materials, in case you need to return the product for repair.
NOTE: To obtain optimal results in extending wireless range with antenna installations, it is
recommended that a qualified professional installer service is consulted for site survey and
proper installation.
Installing the Booster
Turn off your ME103 Wireless Access Point and connect your wireless accessories according to
the illustration. After attaching your new antenna, reconnect your wireless device to the network
and turn it on.
Placement and Other Important Considerations
Observe the following guidelines when configuring your Booster for 802.11b. In order to comply
with FCC regulations you must use NETGEAR antenna cables (ACC-10314-01, 02, 03 or 04)
with these products. These antenna cables are low loss and are ideally suited for the NETGEAR
booster, power injector and antennas. Performance (range) can be drastically reduced if longer or
higher loss antenna cables are used.
•
Place the ANT24BNA booster as close as possible to the antenna with a short NETGEAR
antenna cable. The shortest FCC approved antenna cable is the NETGEAR 1.5 m (ACC-
10314-01) cable.
•
•
Place the longer NETGEAR cable (up to 10 meters) between the ANT24BNA booster and
the access point. The overall performance will decrease if the length exceeds 10m.
If you use a ANT24BDC Power Injector to power the booster remotely, follow these
guidelines:
–
Use the longer NETGEAR antenna cable (up to 10 m) between the booster and the
power injector.

of the product(s) or circuit layout(s) described herein.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Notice:
Radio Frequency Notice
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: (1) Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna, (2) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, (3) Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected, (4) Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement
To ensure compliance with the FCC's RF Exposure requirements for saftey, all omni-directional antennas (Netgear
ANT24O5) must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from a person.
The panel antennas (Netgear ANT24D18) must be fixed mounted on a permanent structure to ensure a separation
distance of at least 50 cm from all people. The panel antennas can only be used for point-to-point applications and
may not be used for point-to-multipoint applications.
The antennas shall not be co-located with other transmitting devices.
Note: To meet FCC regulations, the system must be installed as shown in the diagrams. Substitution of cables and
access point provided and/or any modification to any of the components of this system will void the user's right to
operate it.
Use of this booster with any other devices is strictly prohibited by the FCC.
