Overview
C15F-5B wide band mini Booster is designed with harmonious humanity conception, as a perfect
combination of environmental protection and signal coverage. The C15F-5B products carried with
many features like, low consumption, light weight, high gain, low output power and easy
installation, etc, It provides a rapid and perfect solution to solve and optimize the weak signal of
houses, offices, hotels, elevators, underground parking lots and other small weak signal area.
On the condition that to assure the normal communication, C15F-5B products using the smallest
Rx and Tx power to achieve the link balance among BTS and mobile phone and Boosters,
guaranteed that the least Rx and Tx power from the products, the least harm to environmental
pollution and human body's radiation.
C15F-5B products has ALC function, which offer the product reliability and the coverage stable
signal technically. In addition, the C15F-5B products adds ALC warning directive function to let
users knowing signal quality by the indicator's color.
Function and Features
The system has the automatic gain control function. By comparing the voltage value of the
UL detection tube and the line detection tube with the set value, if the sampling value is
larger than the set value, then increase the attenuation value of the corresponding channel
attenuator until the corresponding detection tube voltage is less than the set value. If the
sampling value is less than the set value, then decrease the attenuation value of the
corresponding channel attenuator until the corresponding detection tube voltage is larger than
the set value or the attenuation value is 0.
The system has the output over power cut off function. When the attenuation value of the UL
or DL attenuator caused by the AGC control is more than or equal to 31dB, the system will
switch off the corresponding channel. Otherwise, when the attenuation value is less than
31dB, turn on the corresponding channel switch.
The system has self-excited detection function. When its UL or DL occurs self-excitation, the
system shuts down the switch and keep 120 seconds, the number of self-excited statistics plus
1. After 120 seconds, turn on the switch of UL and DL, if continue to detect the self-excited
then turn off the switch and keep 120s, the number of self-excited statistics plus 1. If there is
no self-excited, the self-excited statistics are cleared and the system return to normal. If the
self-excited is detected up to 3 times is succession, the switch will be permanently turned off
until the power off and restarted. Any detection results in no self-excited before the
permanent shut-off, the umber of self - excitation statistics will be cleared, and the system
will return to normal.
Booster is a linear amplification of the wireless signal. When the Booster is not installed right
and lead to self-excited situation, the Booster by detecting the linear relationship between
input and output to determine self-excited, if self-excitation it will turn off their own to
prevent Network with itself until troubleshooting.
Inside the detection area of Boosters, if the UL does not occur calls or data exchange in a
long time (about 5 minutes), it will judge this area do not need Booster. At the same time,
Booster will shut down the UL automatically and sleep until it detects its UL activity and

Installation Guide
Before your install
Make sure have sufficient cable length between proposed donor to server antenna location
and booster connector.
Make sure the position you install the booster is near to one existing electrical outlet, and
well ventilated, away from excessive heat, moisture, direct sunlight.
Installation overview
Install your donor antenna on the roof where there is the strongest signal.
Mount your signal booster, connect cables to the signal booster from the outside antenna and
inside antenna at the designated ports, and connect the booster to AC power supply.
Install the indoor antenna where you want to improve signals.
1. Donor Antenna 2. C15F-5B Cellular signal booster 3.Indoor antenna
Installing the Booster
1. Select a location close to a power outlet, normally a wall.
2. Mount the booster by supplied screws like the image shows.
Amplifyyourworld

Installing Donor antenna
1. Use your mobile phone find an area with the strongest signal.
2. Select a proper place to install the donor antenna.
3. Based on the installation environment, take the right way to install donor antenna on the best
signal place, as below:
Installing Indoor antenna
1. Select a place on a wall projecting the area where you want reception.
2. Mount the bracket on the wall after drilling the screw to the wall.
Connected antennas
1. Take one of cable Connect the Donor antenna to the BS port of the Booster.
2. Take another cable connect the indoor antenna to the MS port of the Booster.
Power on
1. Plug in the 5V/4A DC on the power outlet.
2. Plug in the power adapter in AC （AC100~264V) power outlet.
3. Test the signal inside the coverage area and call quality by telephone.
Important Notice
1. Do not dismounting the equipment by yourself.
2. Do not add extra pressure to Booster surface.

3. Please use the corresponding power supply adaptor for the Booster.
4. Please avoid choose strong electricity, high-intensity magnetic field, corrosive, moist and
other likely environment when select the installation location, and make sure the ventilation is
good and cool.
5. Please install in the place that is not easy to be reached by kids and irrelevant people.
Trouble shooting
1. The AC/DC Power Adapter LED is OFF
Cause Action
Power cable of the power adapter unit has not
been connected or faulty Check connection of adapter system
2. The AC/DC Power Adapter LED is ON( Green ) but no signal transmits
Cause Action
Signal cable from outdoor antenna has not been
connected Check all connections
Coaxial cable is connected but cable is damage
or connector is broken
Make sure there is no sharp bends or breaks in
the cable. and check the connectors to see
whether they are fixed firmly or not
3. Output power is not enough (Green )
Cause Action
Input signal is too weak and unstable.
(The Alarm LED is green)
Adjust the donor antenna’s position and
direction, make sure the input signal is
moderate.
4. Output power is full (Orange)
Cause Action
The Boosters is working in linearity
(The Alarm LED is Orange )
This is the best working condition for the
Booster, do not need to take any action.
5. Signal Oscillation (Red)
Cause Action
Over accepting of donor antenna or
stronginterference
( The Alarm LED is red )
Adjust the donor antenna’s position and
direction, make sure the input signal is
moderate.
The isolation between donor antenna and
service antenna is not enough
( The Alarm LED is red )
Increase the distance between the two antennas,
make sure the isolation more than 80db.

FCC Warning
This is a CONSUMER device.
BEFORE USE, you MUST REGISTER THIS DEVICE with your wireless
provider and have your provider’s consent. Most wireless providers consent to the
use of signal boosters. Some providers may not consent to the use of this device on
their network. If you are unsure, contact your provider.
You MUST operate this device with approved antenna and cables as specified by
the manufacturer. Antennas MUST be installed at least 20cm(8 inches) from any
person.
You MUST cease operating this device immediately if requested by the FCC or a
licensed wireless service provider.
WARNING. E911 location information may not be provided or may be inaccurate
for calls served by using the device.
This device may be operated ONLY in a fixed location for in‐building usage.
Warning 1: The Inside Antennas for fixed installations must have 20 cm (8 inches) of
separation distance from all active users.
Warning 2: The Outdoor Antennas for fixed installations must be installed no higher than 10
meters above ground.
Safeguard Features
This product has automatic gain and oscillation control system that will automatically adjust
the gain and the output power if a signal anomaly occurs. This product is designed to operate
as a tethered (direct connect) unit within a cellular system, for maximum performance in
weak signal coverage areas.
Antennas
Warning message for use of unauthorized antennas, cables, and/ or coupling devices.
You MUST operate this device with authorized antennas and cables specified by the
