How it works
F23K Model and F27K Model boosters are designed to help mobile users amplify weak signals of 2G,
3G, 4G and 5G. They are bi-directional amplifiers.
The donor antenna receives the signals from the cell tower, amplifies it, and transmits to the signal
booster. Then the indoor antenna will receive the signal and retransmit it to your mobile device.
The signals produced by your phone are also amplified by the indoor antenna via the booster and
donor antenna.

Booster Implementation and Testing
How to find the position with the strongest receiving signal?
The booster's main function is to improve weak RF signal inside a house, office or any other indoor
area. The receiving strength of the outdoor antenna and the strength of the signal reception outdoors
directly affect the efficiency of indoor coverage. That's why it's crucially important to install the
outdoor antenna in the point where signal reception is the strongest.
There is a recommended method for finding strongest receiving signal to use mobile phone to test
signal bars.
Mobile Phone Method
You can use telephone to test signal strength near the window or on the top of the building. The
number of bars on network indicator will define approximate strength of the received signal.
Normally the roof of the building is the best place to receive the strongest signal. As shown on the
graph below, you need to test the signal in points from A to E, and select a place with best signal
strength for outdoor installation. It is recommended to use mobile app that can display signal level,
since it is more accurate than checking signal bars.
More tips: Please try to pick up signal from cell towers that are not so busy, which can be
estimated by the population density in the area served by this tower. It’s also recommended to avoid
a cell tower near a supermarket, shopping mall, stadium and any other public place visited by many
people regularly. This will help on successful phone call connections or higher speed data services.
1.Install OutdoorAntenna
In most cases, the panel antenna is the best choice. You can also choose wide band YAGI antenna
as an option.
There are 2 types of installation: wall mount or pole mount.
Install outdoor panel antenna onto the wall for your reference:
Step1: Unscrew antenna from L-mounting bracket on antenna base with wrench. Step2: Mount
vertical plate of the L-bracket on the wall with supplied screws. Step3: Screw antenna back onto
horizontal plate.
9/17
Notes:
Wrap waterproof tape around the connectors between outdoor antenna and feeder line to avoid water
or other kinds of damage.
2. Install IndoorAntenna
According to the requirement of practical application, please select Indoor panel antenna, or Omni-
ceiling antenna as indoor antenna for coverage
Install indoor panel as reference.
Step1: Select a place on a wall projecting the area where you want reception. Normally, to provide
an overall coverage, you will need to choose a corner. Step2: Mount the bracket on the wall after
drilling the screw to the wall.
Step3: Put the panel antenna on the bracket.
When you choose Indoor ceiling omni antenna or whip antenna, the best place to install it is the
center of your house as the graph shows.
3. Install the signal booster
Step1: Select an indoor location near to a power outlet on a wall.
Step2: Mount the booster with the screws included as shown in the figure.
Step3: Connect the outdoor antenna cables to booster connector marked “outdoor”. Tighten the
connection with hand or wrench.
10/17
Step4: Connect the indoor antenna cables to booster connector marked “indoor”. Tighten the
connection with hand or wrench.
Step5: Connect the AC power cord to the signal booster, and then connect the plug to the electrical
outlet to power on the booster

4. Booster Commissioning
Overview: The booster has quite intelligent startup system, booster commissioning is an automatic
process to guarantee its optimal performance.
After finishing the booster system installation, please power on the booster, the booster starts its
initialization to check it is receiving signal, the isolation status to ensure its best performance. This
will take around 3~5 seconds.
After the booster start up, please check whether the coverage is good. If it is good, the booster system
is completed.
You can check the output power displayed in LCD. It may vary at 1~3dB difference which is normal
due to outdoor signal conditions. It would be perfect that the output power reaches its rated one for
largest coverage; but you can always leave it even though it doesn't as long as the coverage is good
enough for you.
In case the coverage is not enough, please take below measures as per below conditions.
1. The rated output power is reached, but the coverage is not enough or the signal in specific areas
has not been improved
Check whether the indoor antenna is installed correctly or not, you may try to move the
antenna location to improve coverage.
Check if it is necessary to adjust the direction of the indoor antenna.
Check whether it is necessary to add more indoor antennas since barriers block the signal
penetration.
11/17
2. The rated output power is not reached.
Please adjust the outdoor antenna to get a stronger receiving signal in order to get higher output
power (not necessarily to reach rated value as long as the coverage is enough)
Please observe the LCD display, if the reading gain is less than rated value and Alarm LED
would be blinking, user could observe abnormal status description in Sub-system interface or
receive a warming message to remind user ISO abnormal status. Measures：One of below
actions are recommended to eliminate ISO problems and increase the gain
Adjust the antenna's directions or locations, or enlarge the distance between them.
Enlarge the vertical or horizontal distance between donor antenna and server antenna.
Use the barrier, such as walls, to increase the isolation.
Change server antenna (server antenna can be changed to other antenna type which has
better directional antenna pattern, also you can let server antenna and donor antenna point
opposite direction).
Reduce the booster’s downlink gain by the control button. Keep the uplink attenuation
value and downlink attenuation value same then restart the booster.
More about "Alarm" legend indication
Alarm Status: indicates if the booster has enough isolation between outdoor and indoor
antennas in order to avoid loop back or so-called self-oscillation. Hiboost is an ideal
mechanism. Smart AGC, to avoid interference with operator mobile networks. "Alarm" long-
team up on LCD display means not only device is powering on, but also ISO function is
working great and self-oscillation has been eliminated.

Quick Troubleshooting Guide
Problem Solution
The signal booster has no power. Check that the AC outlet is working.
The booster's power is on but the phone is not connected to the
network and still cannot communicate with the signal.
Try to fasten the connections between the different parts of the
system.
Change the direction of the donor antenna or its installation
position.
Good downlink signal with poor communication quality.
Check whether there's interference.
Consult the operator whether the signal source base station works
well.
The power is on but the coverage is not good. Check Alarm LED indications. Take the actions mentioned below.
Eliminate Alarm LED Quick Flashing and RED problems:
▲
Adjust the outdoor antenna direction, keeping it away from the indoor antenna. Restart
booster.
▲
Increase the vertical or horizontal distance between the outdoor antenna and indoor
antenna. Restart booster.
▲
Use barriers such as walls to increase the isolation.
▲
Change the indoor antenna type to an antenna with a more directional antenna pattern.
Orient the indoor antenna and outdoor antenna so they point in opposite directions.
▲
Reduce the booster's downlink gain using the manual gain controls. Keep the uplink gain
value and downlink gain value the same, then restart the booster.
How to connecting Wi-Fi/bluetooth?
Please download "Signal Supervisor" APP on APP store firstly.
( IOS system by App Store,Android system by Google play).
13/17
Note: Uplink gain must be equal to or not less than 5dB below the downlink gain, to avoid
interference with the local carrier's cell site network.
Target: This situation refers to ISO issue and if issue resolved, the Alarm LED would show
Green light UP status.
Eliminate poor coverage problems when gain or output power value abnormal in Sub-
Band Interface:
•
If the signal has not been improved, please check below:
•
The weak downlink signal leads to the low output signal level. Change the direction or
position of the outdoor antenna. You may also try replacing the outdoor antenna with a higher
gain antenna to increase the incoming signal.
•
Check to see if it is necessary to add more indoor antennas. Barriers such as walls can
block the signal indoors. You should also check the booster to make sure the power is
maximized. Try installing more indoor antennas or replace the booster with a higher powered
one.
•
If the signal in a small section of the building hasn't been improved, try the following:
•
Check to see if the indoor antenna is installed correctly. Try moving the antenna to
improve coverage.
•
Try adjusting the direction the indoor antenna is pointing.
Remark:
•
When increasing the downlink gain, make sure the isolation is adequate to prevent system
oscillation
Note: The Alarm LED long-term Green up and the problems of self-oscillation and strong
downlink signals are fixed. In most cases, there is no need to take any additional measures
except for deep self-oscillation or excessively strong signals from the tower. The self-adaptive
ALC and isolation gain processing system automatically solve most problems.
Industrial booster warning label
Notice:
The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For
situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5dB,
especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users.
This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at
the output of the device.
