AC/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 3.1 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.
3.2 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. 3.3 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.
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. If you cannot achieve these separations, either choose an alternate location for the donor (outdoor) antenna or determine if there are natural barriers in the building construction itself that will attenuate signals between the two antennas so that oscillation can be prevented. 3.
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” 3.6 Install the Server (Indoor) antenna Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the antenna and the other end to the cellular booster where it is marked “indoor”.
3.7 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. The optimal area would be on a wall located near a power outlet. It should be mounted in an easily accessible area so it’s easy to perform general maintenance with the coaxial cable connections, dip switch settings and power adaptor. Make sure all cables and antennas are securely connected before commissioning the system. 3.
3.9 Check the Cellular Booster Status Your cellular booster comes equipped with electronic sensors designed to identify cellular signal overload or oscillation which can hinder signal boosting performance. Your cellular booster is specially designed to automatically decrease gain to compensate for these circumstances. The device also has a feature to automatically shut down in case of excessive oscillation.

Status and definition of POWER indicators: Status Green Off Definition Normal DC power problem 2.
5 UNDERSTAND THE ANTENNA 5.1 Donor (Outdoor) antenna 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 TROUBLESHOOTING The LED alarm lights represent the status of the booster on each frequency. When the lights are green the device is operating normally meaning that it is not experiencing any oscillation (feedback) and it is boosting the signal at maximum power. When the LED lights begin to change status from green to flashing green to flashing red, it means that particular frequency is experiencing some oscillation (feedback).
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.
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. 7 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHY ARE THE LED LIGHTS TURNING FLASHING GREEN, FLASHING RED OR SHUTTING OFF? There are certain cases where your system could be experiencing oscillation.
antennas or by placing barriers between them, such as moving the indoor antenna to an adjacent room where there would be an additional wall separating them from the outdoor antenna. 3. Manual Gain Control. Adjust the gain with the manual gain control function using the dip switches on the side of the booster. 8 FCC RF Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
