Page 4: How It Works
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. 2 TOOL REQUIRED ... -

It is important to read through all of the installation steps before installing your equipment. Thoroughly read through the instructions, visualize where ... - Page 6 • BOOSTER – select location •Install the booster in an area that is protected from the weather, properly ventilated and is away from excessive heat and moisture. • 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. • 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. • COMMISSIONING THE SYSTEM...

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: ... -

Omni Ceiling 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. 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 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 ‘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 ... -

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. 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. 5.3 Recommending kiting option Outside Antenna kit Options Inside Antenna kit Options 1 Kit 11‐3050 1 Kit 5‐0 2 Kit 11‐50400 2 Kit 100‐1550 3 Kit 11‐5050 3 Kit 100‐30400 4 Kit 11‐75400 4 ... -

Similar to a PA system, when the microphone gets too close to the speaker it causes feedback. This will occur if your antennas are too close together, or the indoor antenna is pointed at the outdoor antenna. Make sure you have adequate separation and some type of shielding between the antennas ...

Page 17: Frequently Asked Questions
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. ... - Page 18 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: ...
