ATTENTION! Repeater’s signal performance and coverage
area directly depends on the signal performance of the
mobile operator’s base station. Correct installation of the
repeater, antennas and cables is crucial. It is important to
understand that abnormal use of the repeater will lead
to its malfunction, performance deterioration, as well as
malfunctions in mobile operator’s base station. The user is
responsible for all possible problems caused by abnormal use.
RANGEFUL Lance is compatible with all mobile devices
and supports all services (voice, Internet, SMS, MMS,
etc.) provided by the mobile operators and presented
on the site. RANGEFUL Lance supports all mobile
networks in Europe and most countries of the world.

•Only qualied personnel are allowed to install the repeater,
cables and antennas.
•The antennas and the cables must be connected only when
the repeater power is off to avoid damage to the repeater.
•Connection to different power source than those specied
may result in equipment malfunction and damage. If the
restrictions are not followed, re hazard is possible.
•Do not disassemble the repeater, install or remove accessories
by yourself. This may result in equipment malfunction or
electric shock.
•Do not install the repeater near the heating equipment to
avoid heating the operating repeater.
•Do not cover the repeater, as this may affect the heat
dissipation process.

1– BAND - shows current frequency.
2– GAIN - shows the gain for current frequency.
3– SMART – shows if the Smart function is enabled. The
repeater sets the gain automatically to prevent the Alarm.
4 – Antenna Isolation Detection. When rst power on the
repeater, it automatically detects the oscillation between
the outdoor antenna and indoor antenna.
5– ALC Alarm indicator.
6– Five bars of the output signal strength indication. It shows
the maximum output power of the repeater.
7 – Enter for selection or conrm the settings.
8– Increase/decrease the gain or upward/downward
adjusting the central frequency. Decrease the gain or
downward adjusting the central frequency.

LCD screen shows 1 working frequency at a time and it will
change automatically each 5 seconds from low to high.
The repeater has a Manual Gain Control (MGC) feature that
allows engineers to reduce the gain of the repeater manually
via screen if oscillation is detected. Users could use the “Smart”
function as well, which will help to set to the suitable gain
automatically without any interference to the mobile network.
To maintain safe and specic output signal levels, this repeater
has a built-in signal oscillation detection circuit to adjust the gain
automatically to avoid interference to the cellular network, also
it gets color changing LED’s indicating its environmental status:
the Alarm LED’s located on the front of the unit changes color
from green to orange or red, (depending on the input power
level) when the system detects signal oscillation in the working
band or the input signal is beyond a safe limit. The repeater also
features a Network Safe / MUTE feature that automatically
shuts off the repeater to protect the cellular network. Users
shall make sure the LED remains green at all times for the best
system performance.
3.2. Alarm LED
Colour Description
Green The repeater works normally.
Red The repeater works with medium oscillation. We recommend
checking the correct installation of the outdoor antenna (see Sec
4. Installation).
Attention! It is crucial to adjust the gain or ensure sufcient shielding
between the antennas (see Sec 4. Installation). The Alarm LED will
turn green again otherwise normal operation of the repeater is not
possible.
Red
(Flickering)
The repeater can turn off at any time! There is a strong excess of the
total “signal level from the outdoor antenna + repeater gain” over the
maximum output power of the repeater.
Attention! It is crucial to adjust the gain or ensure sufcient shielding
between the antennas (see Sec 4. Installation). The Alarm LED will
turn green again otherwise normal operation of the repeater is not
possible.

Press “SET“, wait till you reach to the uplink gain (the uplink gain
gure is ickering), then press “MGC” to decrease /increase the
gain as per the request, Please do remember to press “SET”
again to conrm the right settings.
Repeat the steps for setting the downlink gain.
The Smart function means that the repeater could set the gain
automatically. Press “SMART” to turn enable this function.
ATTENTION! When the smart function is enabled, users can’t
set the gain manually. Disable the smart function if you need to
set the gain manually, and follow the instruction of MGC setting.

3.4. Smart function
First, assemble the mobile signal amplication system. Use the
following additional equipment:
•An outdoor antenna that will provide communication between
the repeater and base stations of mobile operator.
•An indoor antenna or several antennas that will provide
communication between the repeater and mobile devices.
•Coaxial cable (50 Ohm) and connectors (N-type or SMA
according to the antennas used) for connecting antennas to the
repeater.

In addition, splitters, couplers, antenna ampliers and boosters
may be needed to create a mobile signal amplication system.
All the additional equipment is available on our website
www.rangeful.com
It is recommended to install the outdoor antenna free from
visible obstacles to signal transmission. The optimal antenna
performance can be achieved by attaching it to a mast or
bracket and pointing it towards the operator base station.
The repeater is a highly sensitive bi-directional amplier of
a mobile signal, therefore it is necessary that the outdoor
and indoor antennas are well isolated from each other to
avoid self-oscillation of the repeater. The minimum distance
between the outdoor and indoor antenna is 10m. If isolation
can’t be achieved due to limited distance, the roof of the
building, concrete or brick walls or any other barriers can be
used between antennas to increase isolation. There is also
highly recommend 3-4m vertical distance between antennas.
To understand the self-oscillation process you can take a
microphone and a loudspeaker and bring them close to each
other. You will hear a very loud noise.
The signal strength from the outdoor antenna directly affects
the efciency of the indoor coverage. That’s why it is very
important to choose the good outdoor antenna location in order
to get the best signal.

If you don’t know the exact location of your operator’s base
station, go through the antenna aiming process for getting the
best result. To aim the antenna correctly, follow the steps below:
1. As shown from the picture above, testing the mobile operator
signal quality from point A to E, and select the best place that
displays maximum bar signals.
2. Install the outdoor antenna on the point with best signal,
install the cables, repeater, indoor antenna and switch on the
system.
