Introduction:
The booster is designed to realize the wireless forwarding and bidirectional
amplifying of the base station’s signal, expand the coverage of communication
signal and cover its blind zone. When booster is working, the outside antenna
(connecting to the OUTDOOR or BTS Port of booster) will receive the cell signal
from signal tower and send the signal to the booster through coaxial cable;
then the booster amplifies the signal and send the boosted signal to the inside
antenna (connecting to the INDOOR or MS Port of booster); finally, the inside
antenna could transmit the signal into your house.
The cell phone signal booster will only make a weak signal stronger,
it can't create a signal. It won't work if the outdoor antenna can't receive any signal.
The outdoor antenna should receive 2-3 bars of stable signal in the location
where the outdoor antenna is fixed; otherwise, the booster won't work very well.

1. Drill a 20mm diameter hole in the ceiling. The ceiling thickness should be
2. Unscrew fixing nut from the antenna. Place antenna cable through the hole.
Screw the fixing nut back onto the antenna, and go through the cable from the
crawl space side of the ceiling and fasten.
3. Attach the connection from the indoor antenna to the connector labeled
INDOOR on your booster.
4. Tighten fixing nut to secure antenna (do not over-tighten).
Note:The Ceiling Antenna is suitable for central locations with 360-degree
coverage, please mount it on the ceiling in a central location.

Option B:Mount the Indoor Panel Antenna
Installation Steps:
1. Using the plate mark the position of desired screw placement.
2. Screw mounting plate into place with the slide protruding towards up.
3. Hang the antenna securely onto the mounting plate.
4. Connect the antenna short cable to the 15ft cable and run to the planned
location of your booster.
. 5. Place the booster on a flat surface or mounted to a wall and connect
the remaining end of the cable to booster port marked INDOOR.
Note:
1. The Inside Panel Antenna should be facing the area signal is needed and
away from the outdoor antenna (See “Aiming Panel Antenna” below).
4
2.The installation location is the approximate height of normal cell phone use.
3. The Inside Panel Antenna is directional with a 180-degree reach,
it should be mounted on a vertical surface or wall where there are no
materials that could obstruct signals.
4. It is better to use a directional panel antenna when the shape of coverage
is longand narrow (corridors, long row of houses in tow sides, tunnels,
elevators or rural open space).
5. Do not connect booster to power until the system is fully installed.
5
Step 2 : Install the Outdoor Antenna
The directional Yagi, Panel, LPDA or Omni Antenna should be mounted at the
highest possible location above the roof line ‒ at least 25 feet above the
indoor antenna ‒ aimed in the direction of your nearest carrier’s cell tower.
To find the location of your closest carrier’s cell tower,
go to www.antennasearch.com.
Ensure that the mounting area has at least a 12 inches radius clear of
obstructions, other radiating elements and metal objects such as pipes or
metal siding. Once you have identified your install location,
assemble the u-bolt, bracket, nuts and washers onto a pole
(available separately) as shown in the illustration. Keep the connections loose
enough to allow the antenna to rotate until the optimum direction is found.
Run the cable along route to planned location of your booster.
Option A: Mount the Directional Outdoor Panel Antenna
Find a best signal place at a high location outdoor.
Installation Steps:
1. Attach the L-Bracket to the Outside Panel Antenna and use the U-
Bolts/Pole Bracket to attach the L-Bracket to a pole.

Option D:Mount the Omni-directional Antenna
Installation Steps:
1.Assemble the u-bolt, bracket, nuts and washers onto a mast (not
provided) as shown in the illustration.
2.Connect one end of the provided coax cable to the antenna and
tighten the connection.
Note:
1.The Omni Antenna receives and sends signals in a 360-degree
radius. Mount the antenna at the highest possible elevation and in
an upright position.
2.Ensure that the entire outside antenna is above the roof
line of the building and is at least 12 inches away from any
metal obstructions and other radiating elements.
3.The minimum distance between outdoor antenna and indoor antenna
shall be more than 39ft; and the direction of outdoor and indoor antennas
shall be opposite.
8
Step 3: Route & Connect Cable To System
Connect the white 50ft Coaxial Cable to the Outdoor Antenna and route
cable into the home. All connections should be hand tightened only

3.1 Installation LocationRequirement
(1) It is important that the repeater is installed in a place where is away from excessive
heat, direct sunlight, moisture and with proper ventilation. Do not place the repeater in
an air-tightenclosure.
(2) Installation height should be easy for RF cable wiring, heat dissipation, security and
maintenance.
(3) There should be an independent and stable powersupply.
(4) Lightning protection is recommended for all in-building installations. Take extreme
care to ensure neither you nor the antenna come in contact with any electrical power
lines.stability.

3.2 Installation of Outdoorantenna
The repeater’s main function is 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 outdoor
antenna location in order to get the best signals.
Testing the signal strength received from outdoor antenna by mobile phone:
Select an outside antenna location on the roof of the building to install the outdoor
antenna, using a cell phone to find the strongest signal from the celltower.
The phone calls or data transmission shall be smooth and stable by 3 times testing in
location
Fix the outdoor antenna after selecting the best position, and adjust height or angles
slightly in order to get the best signal with suitable input power level and calling quality.
TestthecallqualityofOutdoorantenna(forprofessionalinstallationteamonly)
12
Selecting the installation direction of outdoor antenna.
The outdoor antenna should point in the direction of the tower, and it is much better to
keep line of sight.
Select opposite directions for outdoor antenna and indoor antennas. Please test the signal
quality and make sure to avoid self-oscillation first, if have to install Outdoor and Indoor
antennas in the same direction. If the directional antenna is selected, the main directional
angle should point to the tower antenna.
If the performance is poor due to weak signals or poor phone call quality, please adjust the
direction of outdoor antenna or change its position in order to obtain the best calling effect.
The wide band repeater supports all mobile operators or different mobile systems, so
please adjust the outdoor antenna direction to have a balance between signals of different
mobile operators or various mobile systems.
Outdoor antenna installation---Notes:
Do not install the outdoor antenna during the rainy day with lightning. Please follow the
instructions to install the outdoor antenna.
It is very important to waterproof the connectors of outdoor antenna and feeder lines.
In order to avoid interference, please note that the outdoor antenna should be far away
from objects of metal, high voltage line, RF antennas and high voltagetransformer.
Repeater is a tow-way signal amplifier. So proper isolation between outdoor antenna and
indoor antenna is necessary to avoid self oscillation. (About the definition for self
oscillation, take the MIC and loudspeaker for example, if it is too close for each other, it
could make loud noise.)
As shown in the below illustration, the booster amplifies the downlink signal from the tower
and send to the indoor antenna hereafter. If the distance between outdoor antenna and
indoor antenna is less than the required distance, the amplified signal R will go back from
indoor antenna to outdoor antenna. So it will lead to self oscillation and reduce the
coverage area, also the bad calling quality could happen at the same time, and the worse
is that mobile network could be influenced badly and the operators will finally come to shut
off the repeater system.
The minimum distance between outdoor antenna and indoor antenna shall be more than
39ft; again, the direction of outdoor and indoor antennas shall be opposite. For example,

3.3 Cable layout and connector assembly
Connect cables to the booster’s ports after installing and fixing outside and inside
antennas.Steps as below:
(1)Open the cable package and make it bend naturally and smoothly.
(2) Keep horizontal cables straight and fasten them with a fixing clip every 1 to 1.5
(3)The cable should be bent naturally and smoothly to avoid cable damage caused by
meters.
strong pulling.
(4)RF cables should be separated from power cables; If the site condition are limited,
installing RF cables and power cables together may affect product performance.
(5)Tighten all cable connections to ensure a good contact.
(6)Offer waterproof treatment to the exposed cable ends to avoid oxidation.
(7)Finish the cable layout
At last, plug the Power Supply into wall outlet and enjoy
yourboosted cell signal!

1. The signal booster will only work with the correct frequency, so please make
sure yourphonesignaliswiththesamefrequencyasthesignalbooster.
2. This cell phone signal booster will only make a weak signal stronger, it can't
create a signal. That means it won't work if the outdoor antenna can't receive
any signal.
3. The outdoor antenna should receive 2-3 bars of stable signal in the location
where the outdoor antenna is fixed; otherwise, the booster won't work very
well.
4.Must connect the antennas first, and then switch on the power; otherwise,
may damage therepeater.
5. Determine the best location where the highest signal strength is received on
your phone (most amount of bars). Once you ascertain the best location, then
permanently mount the outdoor antenna. Keep the distance between the
outdoor antenna and indoor antenna more than39ftand make sure that there is
a proper physical separation between the outdoor antenna and indoor antenna.
The above thingsareofcriticalimportancetotheboosters'normalworking.
Reason 1: There are loose or wrong connections in the repeater system.
