Preface
This user’s manual describes the installation, commissioning and maintenance of wide band
consumer boosters. Please do read user manual carefully before installing and maintaining
the Boosters. The information in this manual is subject to change without prior notice.
1. Safety Warnings
Users must follow the below principles：
z Booster should follow system requirement of communication equipment, assure good
grounding and lightning protection.
z The power supply voltage of Booster should meet the standards of security requirement; any
operation shall be carried out only after cutting off power in advance. Only the professional is
authorized for the operation.
z Do not dismantle machine, maintain or displace accessories by yourself, because in
this way, the equipment may be damaged and you may even get an electric shock.
z Do not open the Booster, touch the module of Booster, or open the cover of module to touch
the electronic component. The components will be damaged due to electrostatic.
z Please keep away from heating-equipment, because the Booster will dissipate heat during
working. And do not cover booster with anything that influences heat-dissipation.

2. Why Booster
2.1. Reason
1) Blind or weak signal areas are formed if the buildings are too far away from CELL TOWER, or the buildings
themselves shield or absorb signals.
2) There are too many complicated signals in the higher part of the buildings, therefore ping-pong switching
effect has been formed and the signals fluctuate a lot, there are annoying noises during phone calls and
call drops accordingly.
3) Elevators and basements are well-known for blind areas.
4) Downtown areas of the cities, which congested with many high-rise buildings, are usually the weak or blind
areas.
5) The remote villages, mountains, hills, valleys, etc. are mostly populated areas with quite few mobile
users, so the main target is to send coverage to these areas, and it will not be worthy installing a CELL
TOWER, therefore a booster is a quite good option.
2.2. Solution
Can we not use mobile phones? The answer is definitely NO. But it might be much more miserable that the
communication can’t be achieved due to no signal or weak signals though there is a mobile phone.
Will your customers stay comfortable when there is no smooth communication in your shops or restaurants?
Will that be frustrating if your clients couldn’t call you through due to weak signals in offices?
Will your life be influenced if your mobile is always “out of service” at home when your friends call you?
Then how to solve the problems?
Best Solution:
Plug & play: Purchase a set of Booster solution from us and install it, and immediately you would be
able to enjoy the full bar and high quality signals!

Question: Will booster increase the RF radiation?
A: No, it will decrease instead.
As it can be searched easily through internet, the tower would “order” the mobile phone to increase its output
power, in order to ensure successful connection when the mobile signal bar is few, there will be stronger mobile
output power level when the mobile signal bar is less and the strongest one can reach 2W (GSM); moreover,
the mobile phone is usually as near as less than 5cm to human body when people are in phone calls. Not only
it influences the human bodies badly, but also run out of the battery power much more quickly; usually the
mobile phone gets hot in such status.
For example, the maximum power level of booster is 1.0W, and it decreases to be maximum 0.05W when
reaching server antenna. And since the server antenna is installed over the ceiling or onto the wall, there is
usually more than 3 meter away from the human body, 3meter away means at least 40dB propagation loss, or
10000 times less, 0.000005W, and therefore it is too weak to influence human bodies though it is still a very
good signal for mobile phones.
And when a booster is installed, it improves the mobile signals in the coverage, and the successful phone call
can be connected easily with a much less power level of the mobile phone, thus it will reduce the RF radiation
of the mobile phone tremendously.

3. Introduction
Our 10dBm~15dBm Booster is the perfect solution for providing a wireless improvement in the cellular reception
of a home, office, restaurant, VIP Room, apartment, building or shopping mall, in the quickest time possibly. One
Booster covers 300 to 3000 square meters.
This Booster has Manual Gain Control (MGC) feature that enables engineers to reduce the gain of the Booster
manually if oscillation is detected or too strong input power level during installation, which will help to get the
best coverage effect without any interference back to mobile network.
And in order to maintain safe and specific output signal levels, this Booster has built-in signal oscillation
detection circuit to adjust the gain automatically so as to avoid interference to the cellular network, also it gets
color changing LED’s indicating its environmental status: the Alarm LED’s located on the front of the unit will
change color from green to orange or red, (depending on the input power level) if the system detects signal
oscillation in either band or, if the input signal is beyond a safe limit.
Our Boosters also feature a Network Safe / MUTE feature that automatically shuts off the Booster to protect the
cellular network if no adjustments are made to eliminate alarm readings on the Booster’s LED’s. You will want to
make sure the LED’s remain green at all times for optimum system performance. (This function is not available
for some specific models for which we will specify when you purchase)
Below diagram shows how simple and fast 10dBm~15dBm Booster system is installed and works effectively
One Yagi antenna, as donor antenna, is installed at the top of the roof to pick up good mobile signals from
outside, and send through 5D-FB cable to 10dBm~15dBm Booster to amplify the signals significantly, then the
output signals are divided into two signals by 2way splitter, sent to two indoor omni antennas and finally
transmitted into area. Very clear phone call or high speed mobile data are immediately achieved within the area.

5. Block diagram and work principle
10dBm~15dBm Booster is basically a bi-directional amplifier, the downlink signals are received by the Booster
from cell tower by the donor antenna, filtered by its internal duplexers and FC unit, amplified by low noise
amplifier (LNA) and downlink PA unit, and then sent via the server antenna to the area to improve mobile
signals for mobile phones.
The uplink signal of mobile devices from the coverage area is input via the server antenna, then filtered by
duplexers and FC unit, amplified by the uplink low noise amplifier (LNA) and the uplink PA unit and finally sent
via the donor antenna to the cell tower.

6. The Booster system
Below diagram shows how simple and fast the booster system is installed and works effectively
One Yagi antenna, as donor antenna, is installed at the top of the roof to pick up good mobile signals from the
cell tower, and send through cable to the booster to amplify the signals significantly, and then the output signals
are transmitted into area by the indoor antenna. Very clear phone call or high speed mobile data are
immediately achieved within the area.
z Donor Antenna：
¾ 7dbi outdoor panel or 9dBi wide band Yagi is recommended as donor antenna.
¾ Function: Pick up donor signals from the cell tower and send to the Booster by cable; the power
level and quality of the received signals influence a lot on the coverage effect. Donor antenna
also transmits the uplink signals from the Booster to cell tower.
z Server Antenna:
¾ 3dBi indoor Omni ceiling or 7dBi indoor panel are recommended, whip antenna is also ok for
10dBm Booster, however the coverage size will be limited.
¾ Omni antenna (Indoor ceiling omni antenna or whip antenna), suitable to be installed in the center
and radiate all direction; It is better to use a directional panel antenna or wide band Yagi when the
coverage shape is long and narrow (corridors, long row of houses in two sides, tunnels or
elevators or rural open space)
z Cables: LMR 300 or 400, 3D, 5D or 8D - FB coax cables are recommended.
z Splitters or couplers:
z when the building structure is too complicated or there is big loss due to thick walls, etc., splitters or
couplers shall be used so that more splitters or couplers shall be used so that more

8. Installation of antennas and cable
8.1. Installation of donor antenna
The Booster’s main function is to improve weak RF signals of an area. A simple formula: Input power+ Gain=
Output power. The signal strength from the outdoor antenna directly affects the efficiency of the indoor
coverage. It is very important to choose the donor antenna location in order to get the best signals.
Testing the signal strength received from donor antenna mounted in site by mobile phone:
z The mobile phone shall display full bar signals in location where the donor antenna is installed
z The phone calls or data transmission shall be smooth and stable by 3 times testing in location
where the donor antenna is to be installed
z As shown from the above illustration, testing the signals from A to E, and select a best place that
displays full bar signals.
z The wide band Booster supports all mobile operators, so please adjust the donor antenna
direction to have balance between signals of different mobile operators.
Donor antenna installation ---Notes:
z It is a must that the waterproof shall be done to connectors of donor antenna and feeder lines.
z Booster is a two-way signal amplifier. So proper isolation between donor antenna and server
antenna is necessary in order to avoid self-oscillation. About the definition for self-oscillation,
take MIC and loudspeaker for example; if it is too close for each other, it could make big noise.
So the Booster can only run smoothly if alarm LED always remains GREEN color.
z If isolation can’t be achieved by the limited distance, the roof of the building, walls or any other
barriers can be used between antennas to increase isolation.

8.2. Cable layout and connector assembly
1) Keep the type, specifications, routing direction, location, and curvature radius of cables in compliance with
the design requirement. Place cables in good order, bend them smoothly, and protect the outer skin against
any damage.
2) Separate RF cables from power cables. Take proper isolation measures if they have to be placed on the
same cable racks owing to the site condition restriction.
3) Correctly fasten all connection parts of the whole system, from the antenna to active interfaces to passive
interfaces, and keep electrical interfaces well contacted. Give waterproof treatment to outdoor connection
parts.
4) Take lightning protection measures for the antenna and feeder system in accordance with the design
requirement. Avoid deforming the antenna feeder where grounding clips are placed, and give waterproof
treatment to the feeder.
8.3. Indoor antenna installation
Proper antennas shall be selected according to the site conditions and the requirement.
1) Omni antenna (ceiling Omni or whip antenna) is suitable to be installed in center and radiate all directions.
2) It is better to use a directional panel antenna or Yagi when the coverage shape is long and narrow
(corridors, long row of houses in two sides, tunnels or elevators or rural open space).

9.2. Installation Steps
9.2.1. Installation schemes
The booster shall be installed in indoor areas only
1) Connect the power supply and the cables properly to the Booster ports
2) Check again to make sure the Booster is installed firmly and Booster alarm LED must stay green.
9.2.2. Booster’s ports description
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.
9.2.3. Accessories selection
Please pay attention to the two points of “frequency” and “impedance” during the selection of the accessories.
All accessories shall support the Booster’s frequencies from feeder line, antenna and splitter to combiners
etc. For example, the Booster’s frequency is GSM900, so all the accessories must support the GSM900
frequency. And the Booster’s impedance is 50ohm, so the accessories shall all be 50ohm. To use any other

performance.
9.3. Booster Settings
Please check very carefully all cable connections are correct and firm before running operation test and then
carry out following tests.
9.3.1. Switch on power
After power is on, check firstly the alarm and power LEDS.

Warning: Input signals may be not enough, so please check on coverage
effect, do not do anything if it is good coverage; otherwise please adjust the
Booster system to get better coverage.
Orange
A little bit stronger input signals or slight self oscillation have occurred.
Solution: Please adjust antennas or use MGC to reduce the Booster gain, till
you find “edge point” with green LED (I.E. the Alarm LED must stay at green
color, and at the edge of turning Orange), and let the Booster work at this point.
MGC is the last measure to take as it will shorten the coverage.

seconds and
then off
There are strong input signals or severe self oscillations (loop), please enlarge
the distance or make use of barriers between antennas, or adjust the antennas’
angles, and last step is to adjust the Booster by DIP switch.

own relevant LED and please refer to the correct LED for system performance evaluation.
Then Booster with plastic closet is designed with LEDS of “Alarm LOW” and “Alarm HIGH”. When it is
used for single system of CDMA800, GSM850 and GSM900, only “Alarm Low” LED works, and
“Alarm HIGH” LED is no use; when it is used for single system of DCS, PCS, CDMA1900, WCDMA or
AWS, “Alarm HIGH” LED works, and “Alarm LOW” LED is no use. When the Booster supports two
systems, “Alarm Low” and “Alarm HIGH” both work and support relevant low and high frequencies.
9.3.2. Manual Gain Control (MGC)
DIP Switch can be used to adjust the Booster gain when Alarm LED is orange or even RED. The principle is
that Booster alarm LED must be green color.
For F15C-CP-M:

9.3.3. Booster Commissioning
z Downlink gain setting
First the alarm LED only indicates the downlink input power level, here we use color of Alarm LED
to adjust the gain of the Booster. Alarm LED color must remain green. As for the downlink working
performance, it is a good working point that Alarm LED maintains “Green” color with the intention of turning
orange; here we refer as “edge point”. At this time, downlink output power and coverage effect are stable.

And the equipment must be as far as possible away from overloading status of “red” (the equipment would
hold higher interference and depression ability at this stage). So we shall try our best to set the equipment
near “edge point” of green and intention of turning orange during engineering.
z Setting of “edge point”:
Switch on the power supply after connection with donor antenna and server antenna, and observe
ALARM LED.
If it shines “orange”, use 1dB as step to reduce the gain until “green” turns on, then increase the gain
1~3dB attenuation value until “orange” starts to turn on, then brings back 1~2dB till “green” is on, then
fix the gain and the Booster’s downlink output power reaches the perfect status.
If it shines “green” then,
Please check coverage effect firstly, if the coverage effect is good, the engineering has reached
expecting target, thus there is no need to do anything.
To check whether the attenuation value has been set, if it is, use 1dB as step to increase gain until
the “orange” turns on, then brings back 1~2dB till “green” is on again , then the Booster’s downlink
output power reaches the perfect status.
But if attenuation has not been set, it indicates that the input power is not strong enough to let the
Booster reach its good coverage.
If the coverage effect is not good, the donor antenna should be adjusted to get stronger input signal.
It is recommended that one person shall check the coverage effect inside the building when the
other person is trying to adjust the antenna or the Booster. At this stage, please make sure “Orange”
color will not be generated by self oscillation. Please take off the server antenna to check if it is self
oscillation or not: if the Orange turns to be green, it is self oscillation; if it stays as Orange, it is not
self oscillation. Please follow steps in other page to turn Orange to be Green.
z Uplink gain setting
Standard: uplink attenuation values =downlink attenuation values
Remark: Avoid putting more than a 5dB difference between the Uplink and Downlink. And Uplink gain must
be equal to or less than Downlink gain, it can’t be more in order to avoid interference with mobile network.

9.4. System Test
9.4.1. Check whether the coverage is good
1) Have a test with mobile phone or data card (engineering mobile phone is preferred). If the signals in most
areas have not been improved, please check below again:
The weak input signal leads to the low output power. Change the direction of donor antenna or its
installation position or replace donor antenna with higher gain antenna to increase input signal
power level.
Check whether it is necessary to add more server antennas since barriers block the signal
penetration, also check whether the Booster’s power is enough; please install more server
antennas or replace with a Booster of higher power level.
2) If the signals in small part of the areas have not been improved, please check below:
Check whether the service antenna is installed correctly or not, you may try to move the antenna
location to improve coverage.
Check if it is necessary to adjust the direction of the sever antenna.
Check whether it is necessary to add one or more antenna to enhance the coverage of special
areas.

9.4.2. Booster can not communicate in Power-ON status
1) The power is on but it has a signal fluctuation or a flash signal. The phone call can not be achieved.
It shall be caused by the insufficient isolation between donor antenna and serve antenna.
Please take below measures:
¾ Firstly check whether the alarm LED is orange. The orange light shows the insufficient isolation.
¾ Secondly adjust the antennas’ directions or locations or enlarge the distance between them.
¾ Thirdly reduce the Booster’s gain by ATT DIP if the above methods don’t work.
The following measures can also be tried:
¾ Use the roof of the building to enlarge the isolation (Please try to place the donor antenna and
server antenna in different floors).
¾ Use some obstacles (Such as wall).
2) The Booster’s power is on but the phone is not connected into the network and still can not
communicate.
¾ Reason 1: There are loose or wrong connections in the Booster system.
Solution: Please try to fasten the connections between the different parts of the system.
¾ Reason 2: The signals received by donor antenna of other operators nearby are too strong. (For
example, the other operators’ signals are 10 dB stronger than the needed signals.)
Solution 1: Change the direction of donor antenna or its installation position, so that the gap of
signal strength is reduced between operators.
