of the device. If it shows
zero bar, you can change
the installation position
and direction of the
outdoor antenna to gain
better signal.

Step 2
Connect the Booster with the App
Getting Started
Register an ID rst and log in.
Add the booster to the device list

Download NetWork Cell Info Lite in the Google store and open it.
It can be seen from the example picture that the frequency band is band 13.
(According to the form before, you need to pay attention to Gauge LTE700)
Then click MAP. You can see your phone connecting to a tower, and you can try aiming your outdoor
antenna at it. But sometimes this is not accurate. You could also move to Step 3.2 to nd the tower
Note: Please take screenshots at this stage.

Step 3
Find the cell tower & Determine the outdoor antenna’s position
3.1 Find the band you are using
For Android

04
(1)Dial *3001#12345#*
(2)Follow the instructions, take the screenshots as required.
(1) Enter cellmapper.net
(2) Choose your own carrier and band here.
3.2 Find the cell tower
For ios

05
(3) Then enter the coordinate of where you are trying to install the signal booster, and press Enter key.
(In fact when you open Cellmapper, the map on the right will automatically locate your area if you've given
the site permission to access your location. If you found tower sites not even displayed on the map, it might
because the app intercepts the locations for security reasons.)
(4) After the map jumps to the location, you can scroll the mouse pulley and zoom it out, then you will see the
tower near the location. It would be better to take a screenshot of this page to guide the following installing
steps. Should you have any questions, please contact our tech support.
Note: If you need help nding the tower, please contact our tech support and provide your carrier, band
and screenshots taken in the last steps.

06
Step 4
Connect the outdoor antenna with the booster
3.3 Determine the outdoor antenna’ s position
The outdoor antenna is usually placed at one of the 4 ends of the roof.
Please choose the position according to the tower’ s location. Make sure there are no barriers between the
antenna and the tower.
Note：At this stage, don’ t connect the indoor antenna to the booster.

Step 5
Adjust and x the Outdoor Antenna
Step 6
Connect the indoor antenna with the booster
Step 7
Adjust the indoor antenna
Have your outdoor antenna pointed to the cell tower you
found before and observe the reading on the app. Adjust the
outdoor antenna accordingly.
Notes:
(1) The output power should be the higher the better.
(2) The full output power for Sidekick is 10dBm. And the full
gain is 62dB.

Indoor Whip Antenna
(omnidirectional)
Place the signal booster on a table and make sure the booster
is within the coverage area.
Make sure that the gain reaches about 60dB. If not, please
increase the vertical and horizontal distance between the
two antennas or add some barriers.

Step 8
Signal quality test
You could do the following:
(1)First make sure the signal gauge value is unchanged from that during the outdoor
antenna installation.
(2)Do speed tests with the booster on and o, and make a comparison.
(3)Check if the number of signal bars increases.
(4)Make a phone call or send messages and check if the voice and streaming are better.
Have your outdoor antenna
pointed slightly away from the cell

1、Increase vertical and horizontal
distance.
2、Add barriers(e.g. walls)
Please try these solutions until the

1、Try adjusting the outdoor
antenna to the best direction
2、Try adjusting the outdoor
antenna to another cell tower
3、Try increasing the height of the
outdoor antenna and make sure
there are no barriers between the
tower and the outdoor antenna
Please try these solutions until the
output power reaches or is over
-5dBm.

Note:
Some customers have some misunderstandings about boosters, and we would like to clarify it here：
If you can't even get a stable 1 bar outside the house or on the roof, then we suggest you return it as it won't
work in areas with very weak signal, the same is true of all boosters on the market.

Check the band you are using again.
If it stays at band66, get into the
'detail'/ 'Setting' of gagues on Signal
Supervisor and switch o RF switch
of AWS2100, then adjust the
outdoor antenna again. It would be
better if there are two persons and
one can stay near the indoor
antenna to check if the signal is
boosted.
