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. This manual provides simple installation instructions that will have your cellular booster kit running in record time. 2 TOOL REQUIRED Phillips Screwdriver Drill Cellular Phone(tocheck signal strength) 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 •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 •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. • OUTDOOR COAXIAL CABLE ‐ select location •The outdoor coaxial cable is used to connect the donor (outdoor) antenna to the booster. • INDOOR COAXIAL CABLE‐ (if used) •The indoor coaxial cable is used to connect the server (indoor) antenna to the booster. • SERVER ANTENNA (indoor) ! •The ideal location for the distribution antenna will be the area of your property where you need to improve the signal most. •NOTE:The signal strength will be strongest closest to the antenna. •IMPORTANT: The signal antenna (outdoor)should always be separated from the distribution antenna (indoor)by at least 20 vertical feet including the separation of a thick barrier such as a roof or a wall. Depending on the strength of your outdoor signal, the weaker the signal the less separation distance is required. •LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTOR‐ (SOLD SEPARATELY) •The lightning surge protector connects in between the signal antenna and the booster. •IMPORTANT: Lightning surge protector must be grounded. • COMMISSIONING THE SYSTEM 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. Mark that area as the installation location for the Donor (outdoor) IMPORTANT: Confirm that you have at least 20 feet of vertical distance between the marked antenna location and the location where you will place the Server (indoor) antenna. To prevent the system from oscillation (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. 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. 3.4 Run coaxial cable Loosely run the coaxial cable from your outdoor antenna to your booster. (After you have tested the system you can permanently secure the coaxial cable). As you route and pull cabling, follow these general guidelines: Bend cables and route them smoothly, and protect the outer skin against any damage. Keep horizontal cables straight and fasten them with a tie every three to five feet. Bind and fasten vertical cables every six to eight feet. 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. 3.5 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” 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”. 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. 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. 3.8 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. 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. The LED indicator marked power should light up green. 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. Improper equipment installation and unusable signal quality can cause oscillation, this is why it is important to fully understand the LED alarm lights on your booster, as they will help you identify and solve any potential issues. The color of the LED indicates the status of the booster system. 4 UNDERSTAND THE PORTS, MGC DIP SWITCH, LED STATUS 4.1 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. 4.2 LED status 1.

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 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. 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). IMPORTANT NOTES The 2 most important things to look for when setting up your system is: 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. In order to find the best input signal, you want to place your outdoor antenna as high as possible with the least amount of obstruction between the antenna and the cellular base tower. A clear line of site is ideal. Isolating the signal from the antennas is done by ensuring that the 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. Ensure the outdoor antenna is pointing in the correct direction and is 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. 7 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. 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. Alternatively if your system is receiving a very poor quality signal (weak and unusable signal), you can point your outdoor antenna more directly 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. This can be achieved by increasing the distance between the two 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.
