WHAT IS INCLUDED 1. Booster F10G-5S-LCD 2. Outdoor Yagi 9dbi Antenna & 50’5D Coaxial Cable 3. Indoor Panel 7dbi Antenna& 50’5D Coaxial Cable 4. 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.
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.
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...
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.
unusable signal quality can cause oscillation, this is why it is important to fully understand the LCD indications on your booster, as they will help you identify and solve any potential issues. The LCD indicates the status of the booster system. 4 UNDERSTAND THE PORTS, LCD and LED STATUS,MGC 4.1 Repeater ports 1) Outdoor port: connected with the donor antenna by cable.

coverage. “Power dBm”– Power Indication. The displayed value shows real-time downlink power that the amplifier is delivering to the indoor antenna port. When the amplifier DL output power is lower than -10dBm, the value will display ”---”. “ISO” – Isolation Alarm Indication. When the system does not have enough isolation between the outdoor and indoor antennas, the “ISO”...

Severe loop back or self- oscillation Quick Flashing Red Not working properly, actions must be The booster automatically shuts off taken.
When the LCD is in the alarm display mode, press the “SET” key and the LCD screen will display the alarm indication showing the affected band. Pressing the “INC+” (or “ DEC-“) key and the LCD will switch to help tips. If none of keys are depressed within 30 seconds, the display will return to the fixed display mode.
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.
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.
9 Warning and Statement Note:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
