Page 7: Plan The Layout Of Your 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). ... -

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: ... -

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. ... -

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 ... -

This antenna should be installed in an elevated position and must be pointed towards your carrier’s cellular tower. NOTE: This antenna can only support single band signal booster. 5.2 Server (Indoor) antenna The Whip Antenna The whip 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 connected directly to the booster. 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.

When the lights are green the device is operating normally meaning that it is not experiencing any oscillation (feedback) and it is boosting ... - Page 18 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 ...

Page 19: Frequently Asked Questions
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 ... -
Page 20: Fcc Rf Exposure Statement
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 ... -
