WHAT IS INCLUDED 1. Booster C27G‐CP 2. Outdoor Magnet Mount 5dbi Whip Antenna 3. Indoor Sticker Mount Panel 3dbi Mobile Antenna 4. DC Power Adapter 1 HOW IT WORKS The cellular booster provides reliable two‐way cellular coverage by improving signal strength in homes, buildings, offices, and other areas where cellular reception is weak or unreliable. The system amplifies the signal from the nearest cellular tower and retransmits at a higher power level within a local area.
3 HOW TO INSTALL YOUR NEW CELLULAR BOOSTER (for vehicle installations) 3.1 Outside antenna: Adopt the car magnetic antenna or chuch antenna. Function: receive the signal from the base station, through the feeder to booster. Meanwhile transmit back the signal to the base station after enlarge the signal. 3.2 Wireless car booster: Generally, hidden inside the corner nearby the power supply Function: two-way, full-duplex amplifier the inside &outside signal of the car, and the maximum uplink is to 2W.
3.3 Inside antenna: Adopt the car magnetic antenna or chuch antenna. Function: Transmit the enlarger signals to the mobile phone, and receive the uplink car phone signal to booster. 3.4 Feeder When install, hide it in the decoration materials or pads. Function: Connect the feeder, antenna, and mobile phone seat. 3.5 Power supply Adopt the9V -12V power supply, and it is extremely convenient for direct feed by the car power, also we support the car charger. 3.
4 HOW TO INSTALL YOUR NEW CELLULAR BOOSTER (for fixed installations) 4.1 Overview This guide will help you properly install your cellular booster kit. It is important to read through all of the installation steps before installing your equipment. Thoroughly read through the instructions, visualize where all the equipment will need to be installed and do a soft installation before mounting any equipment.
• BOOSTER – select location 1 •Install the booster in an area that is protected from the weather, properly ventilated and is away from excessive heat and moisture. • DONOR ANTENNA (OUTDOOR)‐ select location 2 •Mount the signal (outdoor) antenna in an elevated outdoor location so that it points towards the cellular tower and away from where the inside antenna will be located.
4.2 Plan the layout of your system Before you get started you will need to plan the layout of your system. This involves checking signal strength for signals coming from the cellular tower, as well as antenna, booster and cable placement. 4.3 Check for Signal Strength Select a location on the roof of the building to install the signal antenna, by monitoring your cellular phone’s signal strength (signal bars) to find the strongest signal from your carrier’s cellular tower.
(feedback) you want to ensure that there is enough separation between the distribution and signal antenna or that they are shielded from each other to ensure the distribution antenna does not send a signal back into the signal antenna.
Waterproof all outdoor connections with silicone caulking Be careful when plugging the connector in so as not to damage the center pins on the connectors. 4.5 Install the Donor (Outdoor) antenna Connect the supplied Coaxial Cable & SMA male to N female Adapter to the antenna. We recommend applying silicone caulking to fully waterproof the connection. Attach the cable in such a way that a drip loop is formed.
marked “indoor”. Select the installation location of your supplied server (outdoor) antenna based on the following: Omni Ceiling directional antenna Place in the center of the area where the signal needs to be amplified. Panel directional antenna Place in the outer perimeter of the area the signal needs to be amplified. Whip Omni directional antenna Mount directly to the connector marked “indoor” on the cellular booster. 4.
4.8 Power up your cellular booster Once all the Following precautions have been taken, power on the cellular booster. 1. Verify that you have left at least 20 feet of vertical separation space between the indoor and outdoor antennas. 2. Never point the front of the donor (outdoor) antenna towards the inside of the server (outdoor) antenna. 3.
5 UNDERSTAND THE PORTS, MGC SWITCH, LED STATUS 5.1 Repeater ports 1) Outdoor port: connected with the donor antenna by cable. 2) Indoor port: connected with server antenna directly or by cable. 3) DC IN: connected with power supply. 5.2 LED status 1.
2. Status and Definition of ALARM indicators; Alarm LED only works for downlink signals Status Green Red ALARM It is working in linearity attention: Input signals may be not enough There are overloading or self-oscillation, strong input signals, measures shall be taken It is working in linearity Orange Off Attention: Please adjust MGC to increase the attenuation value, till you find the “edge point” (I.E.
6 Authorized Kitting Options 6.1 Donor (Outdoor) default antenna for vehicle installations The Magnet Mount Whip Antenna The whip antenna is an omni‐directional antenna with a 360 degree reach. It is designed to distribute the signal from the center of the affected area. Typically it is connected directly to the booster.
6.2 Donor (Outdoor) antenna for fixed installations The Yagi Lpda Antenna The yagi is a very precise directional antenna with a powerful reach. This antenna should be installed in an elevated position and must be pointed towards your carrier’s cellular tower. NOTE:This antenna is not meant to capture signal from multiple carriers. The Panel Antenna The panel is a directional antenna with a 120 degree reach and is designed to capture the signal from multiple carrier towers.
6.4 Server (Indoor) antenna for fixed installations The Whip Antenna The whip antenna is an omni‐directional antenna with a 360 degree reach. It is designed to distribute the signal from the center of the affected area. Typically it is connected directly to the booster. The Omni Antenna The omni antenna is an omni‐directional antenna with a 360 degree reach. It is designed to distribute the signal from the center of the affected area. Typically it is installed in a false or dropped ceiling.

boosting the signal at maximum power. When the LED lights begin to change color from green to orange to red, it means that particular frequency is experiencing some oscillation (feedback). If the oscillation is excessive the booster will shut down for that particular frequency. The booster will still work for the other frequency on a multi‐band booster. Oscillation is caused when the indoor (distribution) antenna sends a signal back into the outdoor (signal) antenna.
A good input signal (the best you can find) Isolating the outdoor (donor) antenna from the indoor (server) antennas so they do not feedback into each other. By capturing the best input signal you will be able to enjoy the maximum coverage and best quality signal inside where your Indoor antennas are located. The better the input signal, the better the output signal.
capturing adequate signal for the booster. 2. Check all connections on the cable, antennas, and booster. 3. Check cable for bends and or cuts. 4. All LED lights on the booster should be green. 5. Outdoor antenna and the indoor antennas have adequate separation and are not causing feedback. 8 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHY ARE THE LED LIGHTS TURNING ORANGE, RED OR SHUTTING OFF? There are certain cases where your system could be experiencing oscillation.
towards the cellular tower to increase the strength of the input signal. Sometimes this may require completely repositioning the antenna to a location where you can achieve a line of site to the tower. 2. Increase the separation between the outdoor antenna and the indoor antenna.
10 Warning Warning: The Inside Antennas for vehicle installations must have 1.5 feet of separation distance from all active user devices. Warning: The Inside Antennas for fixed installations must have 6 feet of separation distance from all active users. Warning: The Outdoor Antennas for fixed installations must be installed no higher than 10 meters above ground.
