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.

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.you can choose the indoor omni antenna or panel antenna .  
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.

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”  
6 / 14  
       
3.6 Install the Server (Indoor) antenna  
If you use the built-in antenna ,please ignore this step .  
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 (indoor) antenna based on the  
following:  
Omni 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.  
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 1 meter of vertical separation space between the  
indoor and outdoor antennas.  
2. Never point the front of the yagi 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 ‘DC 12V’ and connect the other end to a power outlet.  
The LED indicator marked power should light up green.

5.1 Donor (Outdoor) antenna  
The Yagi 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. This antenna should be  
installed in an elevated position and must be pointed towards your carrier’s  
cellular towers.  
5.2 External Server (Indoor) antenna  
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.  
The Panel Antenna  
The panel is a directional antenna with a 120 degree reach and is  
designed to distribute the signal from a perimeter wall or ceiling.

6 TROUBLESHOOTING  
Eliminate ISO warning problems:  
1.Adjust the outdoor antenna direction, keeping it away from indoor antenna. Restart  
booster.  
2.Increase the vertical or horizontal distance between the outdoor antenna and indoor  
antenna. Restart booster.  
3.Use barriers such as walls to increase the isolation.  
4.Change the indoor antenna type to an antenna with a more directional antenna pattern.  
Orient the indoor antenna and outdoor antenna so they point in opposite directions.  
5.Reduce the booster’s downlink gain via setting the gain parameter in app. Keep the uplink  
gain value and downlink gain value the same then restart the booster.  
Note: Uplink gain must be equal to or not less than 5dB below the downlink gain,to avoid  
interference with the local carrier's cell site network.  
Target: The ISO issues are solved when there is no ISO warning from the app.  
Eliminate ALC warning problems:  
1.Adjust the antennas’ directions or locations to lower downlink received signal level.  
2.Slowly reduce the downlink gain via setting the gain parameter in app.  
3.If the above methods don’t work, reduce the booster’s gain with an external attenuator in  
line with the outdoor antenna or replace with lower gain antenna.  
Target: The overload issues are fixed when there is no ALC warning from the app. Please  
note that a low gain may result in smaller coverage area. This can be improved by adjusting  
the outdoor antenna to receive a stronger signal.Eliminate poor coverage problems when  
Power or ALC is warning:  
1.If the signal has not been improved, please check below:  
10 / 14  
 
¢The weak downlink signal leads to the low output signal level. Change thedirection or  
position of the outdoor antenna. You may also try replacing the outdoor antenna with a  
higher gain antenna to increase the incoming signal.  
*Check to see if it is necessary to add more indoor antennas. Barriers such as walls can block  
the signal indoors. You should also check the booster to make sure the power is maximized.  
Try installing more indoor antennas or replace the booster with a higher powered one.  
2.If the signal in a small section of the building hasn't been improved, try the following:  
*Check to see if the indoor antenna is installed correctly. Try moving the antenna to improve  
coverage.  
¢Try adjusting the direction the indoor antenna is pointing.  
Check whether it is necessary to add one or more antennas to enhance the coverage of special  
areas.  
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 or there are not “ALC” and “ISO”  
indication on LCD.  
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. 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.
