WHAT IS INCLUDED 1. Booster C27G‐CPAL‐AB‐C 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.
3.3 Inside antenna: Adopt the car magnetic antenna or chuch antenna.

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.
center pins on the connectors. 4.5 Install the Donor (Outdoor) antenna Connect the supplied coaxial cable 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. Once mounted, connect one end of the coaxial cable to the donor (outdoor) antenna and the other end to the cellular booster where it is marked “outdoor” 4.
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. 4.7 Install your cellular booster Install the cellular booster in a location that is properly ventilated and not exposed to excessive heat, moisture and/or direct sunlight.
indoor and outdoor antennas. 2. Never point the front of the donor (outdoor) antenna towards the inside of the server (outdoor) antenna. 3. Verify that the supplied coaxial cables from both the donor (outdoor) antenna and the server (outdoor) antenna are properly connected to the cellular booster before powering it up. 4. Carefully plug in the supplied power adaptor into the back of the cellular booster where it is marked ‘power’ and connect the other end to a power outlet.
5 UNDERSTAND THE PORTS, MGC DIP 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. Status and definition of POWER indicators: Status Definition Green Normal Off DC power problem 2.

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.

Oscillation is caused when the indoor (distribution) antenna sends a signal back into the outdoor (signal) antenna. Similar to a PA system, when the microphone gets too close to the speaker it causes feedback. This will occur if your antennas are too close together, or the indoor antenna is pointed at the outdoor antenna. Make sure you have adequate separation and some type of shielding between the antennas (Usually your roof or a cement wall is good enough).
antennas are not pointing to each other and by having enough distance or barrier shielding in between them. The signals travel like rays of sunlight, a directional antenna will send the signal in the direction that it is pointing. An omni directional antenna will send the signal in every direction around it. So depending on your equipment it’s important to be sure that your Indoor antenna is not sending the signal back into the outdoor antenna. THINGS TO CHECK WHEN EXPERIENCING WEAK CELLULAR SIGNAL 1.
oscillation. This can be attributed to either the quality of your input signal or having your outdoor antenna and indoor antenna too close together. Please review the following guidelines to help resolve this issue: 1. Adjust the direction of the outdoor antenna. If the system is receiving a very high input signal, you can point your outdoor antenna away from the cellular tower to reduce the strength of the input signal and therefore, reduce the oscillation.
9 FCC RF Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instruction for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co‐located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 10 Warning Warning: The Inside Antennas for vehicle installations must have 1.5 feet of separation distance from all active user devices.
