Section # 2 WARNINGS!
•External antennas must be mounted outside any building. If mounting an external antenna on the exterior portion of a
building, a minimum of 6 feet of vertical separation is needed between the antenna and booster. Failure To do so may
result in booster failure, and will void your warranty. The external antenna must be a MINIMUM distance of 40 cm
(15.75 inches) away from any person.
•Internal antennas must be mounted a MINIMUM distance of 40 cm (15.75 inches) away from any person. The internal
antenna should be on top of the ceiling material so it can maintain that distance or greater.
•All Installations must use the included 120-volt AC to 12-volt DC converter power supply. Failure to do so will void
your warranty.
•Never power up your booster without first properly connecting the supplied internal and external antennas to the
booster. Failure to do so will void your warranty.
•For optimum performance and compatibility with your service provider’s requirements, it is recommended that the
external antenna never be place near any windows.
•Use of cellular boosters with exterior / interior antennas of higher gain than 5dBi is in violation of FCC regulations for
which the offender will be fully liable, and void your warranty.
•Never combine external or interior antenna cables with other non-Cyfre coaxial cables. The additional cable length
and connections could greatly diminish the performance of the booster if using non-Cyfre cables.
•Cyfre strongly recommends only qualified and informed installation technicians install this Cyfre strongly
recommends only qualified or informed installation technicians install this product. Installation by any other person is
at the risk of the owner and operator.
•When installing an omni directional antenna the antenna must be a minimum of 18’ above any roofline or obstruction.
•When installing an external Yagi antenna inside an attic space of a building the walls and roof area must be made of
wood, or wood with vinyl siding covering, asphalt style roof shingles, or cedar style roof shingles. This antenna will not
work if the exterior walls are brick or concrete, or the roof is of metal composition, or metal decking.

Section # 3 Selecting a Suitable Location to Install Your Booster
•All antennas must be mounted a minimum distance of 40 cm (15.75 inches) away from any person(s).
•All installations must be in a dry area away from any fumes, hazardous materials or dangerous location. In addition, the booster’s
location should be easily accessible and mounted away from moving parts, excessive heat or moisture.
•When installing the exterior omni directional antenna the antenna must be a minimum of 18” above any roofline or
obstruction.
•If installing an external Yagi antenna inside an attic space of a building the walls and roof area must be made of wood, or
wood with vinyl siding covering, asphalt style roof shingles, or cedar style roof shingles. This antenna will not work if the
exterior walls are brick or concrete, or the roof is of metal composition, or metal decking.
•There is a minimum of six feet of vertical separation needed between the booster and antennas making sure there is a solid wall
between the booster and antenna.
•Interior antenna(s) must be mounted in a position on the ceiling in an area that offers the widest range of coverage. If the area is
larger than the antenna can cover, an optional power splitter / divider and antenna may be purchased from www.cyfreadapters.com
•After installing the booster if you do not realize an increase in signal levels, it may be due to location of the exterior or internal
antennas. This can be overcome by re-positioning the antennas.
•The automatic gain control in the booster requires the exterior and interior antennas be connected PRIOR to powering up the
booster. The green LED on the booster will blink while the unit is determining the proper gain level to prevent oscillation and
interference, when the LED becomes solid the setting is permanent for that installation. If the power is disconnected, the booster
will need to go through this process again. WARNING: REMEMBER Prior to moving either antenna the booster’s power
must be disconnected. Only after re-positioning the antennas should the booster be powered up again.
Section # 4 Installation Procedures When Installing your Interior Mount Antenna
•Place the interior patch antenna in a central location on the top floor of building. Place the adhesive side of the antenna flush with
the ceiling. If the ceiling is fire rated style with foil backing, you must peel the foil backing away from the area the antenna will be
placed in, to allow the full penetration of the RF signal through the material. Note: Make sure the interior antenna is a MINIMUM
distance of 20 cm (7.87 inches) away from any person and 6ft from the booster.
•Home or business installation requires following the standard installation procedures detailed in the prior section of this installation
manual. The drawing that follows is a typical installation in a home or business.
Section # 5 Final Installation Procedures
•If sections of the building are still experiencing low signal levels, it may require the purchase of a power divider /splitter and
additional interior antennas. These antennas should be installed in the ceiling of the area where the signal is weakest. Attached
the antennas to the power divider / splitter and then to the booster. Power the booster up and make sure the pilot light is solid.

Section # 6 Optional Accessories
Section # 7 Installation Procedures When Installing an optional Yagi Antenna
1. The optional external Yagi antenna comes with that comes t
16ft of low loss cable with male TNC RF connector on the
end. The Yagi includes a U style clamp that allows the antenna that
allows having the elements in either a vertical or horizontal
position. It is recommended to use the antenna install the
Yagi in a horizontal position. The U clamps are
designed to fit around a rigid PVC, or metal pipe, from ¾ to 1 ½
inch diameter. This will allow you to rotate the antenna
to find the highest signal level.
The components shown in the picture above are a one (1) inch pipe flange, a 2 ½ foot piece of 1” PVC schedule 40 pipe, a
male socket adapter, and if required a one in 90 degree male thread and socket combination. These items are available at any
local hardware store.
2. When installing on a building with a metal sheeting roof, metal pan pour roof,
or cement tile roof, it is recommended to place the antenna be mounted on a vertical
pipe mount. If the roof is of wood frame, or metal bar joist, it is recommended that
the antenna be installed within the attic space using a vertical pipe mount.
CAUTION: Make sure the antenna nuts, (10 mm) are tight enough to prevent the
antenna from sliding down but still allow for the rotation of the unit to operate.
3. When aiming the Yagi antenna, rotate the antenna clockwise no more than 10 degrees at a time then stop wait thirty seconds
while the unit is determining the proper gain level. The rotation should be no more than 10 degrees at a time. You must wait
at least 30 seconds each time the antenna is moved to allow the signal strength to stabilize on your handset. Rotate the
antenna through a full 360 degrees, and note the position where you record the highest constant reading on your handset.
4. To help find the best direction to aim you Yagi, we have attached a compass rose
that you can cut out, place over the PVC pipe to mark your rotation for optimal
signal strength.

Once satisfied with the highest signal strength, tighten the U clamp nuts to hold the unit in place.
Remove the power from the booster and wait one minute before re-connecting the booster to reset
the proper gain level. Next Shut off your handset, wait a minute and turn you handset back on. You
should see your highest signal strength level at this time. If you do not have this level, either you’re
external Yagi antenna may have moved during the tightening of the U clamp. NOTE: Never unplug
the booster when moving the antennas.
5. If you do not have a flat surface to mount the pipe flange on, you may fasten the Yagi antenna
to the side of a roof truss. If so you, you can use a 90-degree socket elbow attached to the pipe
flange allowing you to make adjustments as describe above.
