Working Diagram (How It Works) 1. 2. 3. 4. The outdoor antenna catches the signal from the tower. Sends outside signal to the booster through a coax cable. The booster amplifies the signal then rebroadcasts the signal indoors to all mobile devices within range. The system also works in reverse; amplifying outgoing signal back to the tower. The coverage area and the strength of the boosted signal are directly related to two key factors: 1. Signal strength received by the outdoor unit.
Signal transmission loss and power level Coverage area ability Note: FCC regulations limit the amplification of all cell phone boosters in order to prevent damage to the telecommunications infrastructure. Therefore, the maximum coverage area of a booster depends on the original power level of the signal captured by the outdoor unit. Notice: Not recommended when outdoor signal strength is less than -110dbm(3G/1x) or -120dBm(4G/LTE).
Preparation Find a cell tower nearby! There are a variety of resources available online, here are some third party websites and app recommended. Use these to locate your nearest cell tower, either by street address of GPS coordinates.

Test Installation We STRONGLY recommend doing a test installation before finalizing the installation. Doing a test installation of your cell phone booster ensures that you will get the optimal performance from your system.
Step3: Select the Location for the Outside Unit 1. This is the most critical step and will determine the overall performance of the booster system. 2. Using the same method described in Step 1, walk around the outside of your home and test the signal strength. Determine where you have the strongest signal (the dBm reading is closest to zero). 3. Generally, the strongest signal will be located on the side of your home facing the nearest cell tower.
Step 4: Temporarily Mount the Outside Antenna Use one of the three options to mount the outside antenna on your roof on the side of the house with the strongest signal Caution In order to achieve the best signal coverage effect, there is a certain distance requirement between the indoor and outdoor units. Make sure the inside and outside units are facing away from each other.
Step5: Connect the System 1. Connect the outside antenna to the 30 feet RG6 cable, fix the connector(In order to avoid internal damage of the antenna connector due to gravity or pulling the cable) Secure the cable near the antenna to prevent cable damage caused by wind shaking 2. Connect the “OUTSIDE” port on booster and the outside antenna together by using the coax cable. 3. Connect the inside antenna to the “INSIDE” port on the booster. 4.
Step6: Evaluate the Effects • • Now that the booster is up-and-running, re-test the signal strength inside your home at the same locations from Step 1. If the number is higher (dBm reading is closer to zero) than the original reading, your booster is working. If your signal is not stronger, check the LED lights on the booster and refer to the “Quick Troubleshooting” section at the end of the manual.

Step7: Finalizing Outdoor Antenna Installation Once you have tested the performance of the signal booster and made all necessary adjustments, it’s time to finalize the installation. Outdoor Antenna Installation Make sure that the outside unit is mounted at least 3 feet away from any windows. Option A : Outside Roof Pole Mount (Best Choice) Use an existing pole to mount the outdoor unit in the optimal signal location. Use the picture for reference.
Step8: Finalizing Indoor Installation 1. Choose right position for the indoor antenna • 20 cm away from any other metallic objects • 50 cm away from any windows 2. Mount the booster • Choose a ventilated and dry place • Keep away from heat • Don't cover booster Booster will about 30 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the ambient temperature, which is a normal phenomenon. Step9: Finalizing and Securing Cable Route • Find the best route for the cable.
Caution Seal and Fix the Connector Secure the cable near the antenna to prevent cable damage caused by wind shaking Properly Handle Excess Cables If the coiled cable is too close to the antenna or booster, the system will be unstable. Make sure these coiled cables are more than 6 feet(2 meters) from the antenna or booster Make sure these excess coiled cables are more than 6 feet(2 meters) from the antenna or booster can make your system work more stable.
Quick Trouble shooting Correct functioning: • Power Light should be solid green • The lights on the front panel indicate the condition of the booster. Every time the booster is powered on, all of the lights will be green in color for several seconds then off. This means the booster has passed the self check and is in good condition..
Trouble Shooting: No Signal Improvement Step 2. Check cable connections. Ensure the indoor and outdoor units are securely connected to the coax cable. Step 3. If any of the lights on the front panel are flashing in green then off/continue flashing/solid green, it means that self oscillation is occurring. You must switch off the booster and check the outside and inside antennas immediately. Step 4. Double check the location of outdoor and indoor units.

Safety Guidelines To uphold network protection standards and ensure compliance, all active cellular devices must maintain a separation distance of at least six feet between the inside unit antenna and outside unit antenna and at least four feet of separation distance from the inside unit. Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-Amazboost product or accessory may result in damage to the equipment or components of the equipment.
