Can a repeater unit harm the carrier network in any way?

No. All cellular repeaters we sell have Adaptive Gain Control (AGC) as standard. If the antennas are not properly separated and the signal begins to oscillate (due to feedback effects) then the repeater will automatically reduce it's gain.

This is why the gain in the technical specifications is often listed as "adaptive" or "maximum", as the AGC may limit the gain. As long as you set-up the repeater correctly, then this should not be an issue.
