How it works
Huaptec F10-GDW is designed to help mobile users to amplify
weak 2G and 3G signals. Huaptec amplifiers are bi-directional. The
donor antenna receives the signals from a cell tower, amplifies
them and transmits to the signal booster. Then the indoor antenna
receives the signals and retransmits them to your mobile device.
The signals produced by your phone are amplified by the indoor
antenna via the booster and donor antenna.

Install your hardware
Before you install
1 Make sure you have sufficient cable length between
donor/server antenna location and boosterconnector.
2 Make sure the place where you install the booster is well
ventilated, near to electrical outlet, and away from excessive
heat, moisture and direct sunlight.
Installation overview
1 Install your donor antenna on the roof where signal reception
is the strongest.
2 Mount your signal booster, attach the cables from the outside
antenna and inside antenna to the signal booster at the
designated ports, and connect the booster to the AC supply
(make sure all the cables are well connected).
3 Install the indoor antenna in the area where you want to
improve the signal.

Find the area with the strongest signal
The booster’s main function is to improve weak RF signals in a
certain area. The signal strength from the outdoor antenna directly
affects the efficiency of the indoor coverage.
Install the Outdoor Antenna
Select a proper place to install the donor antenna.
Normally a roof of the building is a good choice. As shown
from the above graph, you need to test the signal from A to E
and select a point with best signal for installation.
Choose the direction for the donor antenna.
The donor antenna should point to the base mobile tower to
get stronger signals.
Installation of donor antenna
In mostcases, logarithmic periodic antenna is the best choice.
You can also choose outdoor panel antenna or YAGI antenna
as other options.
There are 2 types of installation: wall mount or pole mount.
Wall mount installation is recommended for your convenience.
Step1: Unscrew antenna from L-mounting bracket on antenna
base with a wrench.
Step2: Mount vertical plate of the L-bracket on the wall with

7
supplied screws.
Step3: Screw antenna back onto horizontal plate to the wall
with supplied screws.
Notes:
Wrap waterproof tape around the connectors between a donor antenna and feeder lines to avoid
water or other kinds of damage
Install the Indoor Antenna
In most cases, Indoor panel antenna is the best choice. You
can also choose Omni ceiling antenna or whip antenna as
other options.
Step1: Select a place on the wall of the area where you want
better reception.
Normally, to provide an overall coverage, you will need to
choose a corner.
Step2: Drill the screw to the wall and mount bracket on the
wall.

8
Step3: Put the panel antenna on the bracket.
When you choose indoor Omni ceiling antenna or whip antenna,
the bestplace to install it is in the center of your house as the graph
shows.
It is better to use a directional panel antenna or Yagi when the
area is long and narrow (corridors, long row of houses in two sides,
tunnels, elevators or rural open space)

9
Install the signal booster
Step1: Select a location close to a power outlet on a wall.
Step2: Mount the booster with screws included into the kit as
shown in the picture.
Step3: Connect the outdoor antenna cables to the booster
connector marked as “outdoor”. Tighten the connection by
hand or with a wrench.
Step4: Connect the indoor antenna cables to booster
connector marked “indoor”. Tighten the connection by hand or
with a wrench.
Step5: Connect the AC power cord to the signal booster, then
plug in into the electrical outlet.
Step6: Power on the booster.

Booster Commissioning
After the booster is on, it will automatically adjust best performance
with the intelligent automatic gain control function. No manual
operation is needed.
if the alarm LED flashes green or orange, that means the
booster is working properly. Check the coverage, if it is
good, the commissioning is finished. If not, you can adjust
outdoor antenna position to get better outdoor signal
strength or move the indoor antenna to better cover the
weak signal area.
If the alarm LED is flashing red, that means self- oscillation
is occurring. To enhance the isolation you can enlarge the
distance between indoor and outdoor antennas or add a
barrier between the antennas. Adjust until the alarm LED
turns green or orange.
