When the Protocol Rel is set to B (1xEV-DO-B) , the Release B Physical Layer Subtype is set to Subtype 3 and the Local Testset Configuration is set to Main or Auxiliary , MC Max AT Power Backoff indicates the power backoff to use when multiple carriers are transmitted.

The AT Max Power defines the upper limit for the Expected Power if there is only one carrier transmitted, whereas the MC Max AT Power Backoff is an indicative of power attenuation and used to adjust the expected power introduced by more than one carrier transmitting. In this case the value of multicarrier AT max power backoff will be subtracted with another value from the AT Max Power specified by the user to indicate the upper limit of the Expected Power, see Range of Expected power .

Manual Operation: When the Rel B Physical Layer Subtype is Subtype 3 and the Local Test Configuration is Main or Auxiliary , MC Max AT Power Backoff can be set by first selecting F6 ( AT Max Power Parameter ) on the Call Control 1 of 2 menu from the Call Setup screen, then scroll the knob to MC Max AT Power Backoff and enter a value which ranges from 0.0 dB to 10 dB to set it.
