1. - MANUAL
Thank you for buying a repeater at our Shop. We sell high-quality, interference-free and energy-
efficient equipment with CE markings. For quick and easy installation of your device, you can of
course rely on the service of GSM Repeater Shop.
You should be able to get coverage pretty much anywhere. Sometimes, though, it is hard to get a
signal, due to newly constructed buildings with excellent insulation. Buildings made out of steel
and/or concrete often have the worst reception. The signal may be relatively weak in rural areas, due
to the limited number of transmission towers. We are able to offer appropriate solutions in nearly all
situations.
IMPORTANT!
A repeater retransmits and boosts the call signal (2G) and/or the data signal (3G/4G/5G). Because
transmissions are sent on the frequencies of your provider, you will need your provider’s permission.
As the buyer/user, you are responsible for requesting the permit to put the repeater into service and
use it.
2. - THE 6 GOLDEN RULES FOR A SUCCESFUL INSTALLATION
1. Place the outdoor antenna as high as possible on the outside of your building! Preferably on
a roof, chimney or pole.
2. Place your antenna on the correct side of your building. Check section 3.2 of the manual,
‘WHERE IS MY BASE STATION LOCATED?’, for more information.
3. Make sure the outdoor antenna is located far enough away from the indoor antenna.
4. Never switch on the repeater if it is not yet connected to any antennas. This can damage the
repeater and is not covered by the warranty.
5. Do not place an indoor antenna in an area where you already have good reception or close
to a window.
6. Only use the special coaxial repeater cables that have the specifications given on our
website.

3.2 - WHERE IS MY BASE STATION LOCATED?
There are a number of ways to determine the best place for the outdoor antenna. Below you will find
several free apps that you can download which will measure the quality of the incoming signal in
different locations on and around the building.
Make sure that the outdoor antenna is placed where the incoming signal was measured to be the
strongest. The general rule of thumb is: the higher the antenna, the better.
For Android Smartphone
1. Download the app netmonitor
Measure the signal type and strength and see to which BTS you are connected.
IMPORTANT: Use a phone with the sim card of the provider you want to amplify.
2. More basic: go tot he settings of your phone (the path will change from phone to phone) and
find the menue or submenue “network” or “signal strength” to find a value in -xxx dB.
Here under you find the explanation about the values.
For IPhone (There can be updates to the software availble) Go to your dialpad (as if you want to call
somebody) and dial the code *3001#12345#* and press call.
1. You get into the field test mode.
Every IPhone, depending on the software and model, looks a bit difrent from here.
You should look for LTE (or UMTS or GSM) Serving cell info and a value that is listed under
rsrp0 or rsrp and displays a value in –xx dB,
You might also have a menue with a splitt between LTE, UMTS, GSM division on the first
screen an look for the value of rsrp0 in –xx dB on following screen.
The values keep changing, because the signal is fluctuating whenever you change postion.
Keep repeating your measurement until you have determined the best location on or around the
building.
-51 ~ -76 dBm = maximum ~ good reception = 100 ~ 55 %
-76 ~ - 87 dBm = good ~ decent = 55 ~ 39 %
-87 ~ - 98 dBm = decent ~ average reception = 39 ~ 23 %
-98 ~ -107 dBm = average ~ bad reception = 23 ~ 9 %
-107 ~ - 121 dBm = bad ~ very bad reception = 9% ~ 0 %
To figure out which provider has the best signal in your neighbourhood, you can check the website
http://opensignal.com. You can also see where the nearest transmission tower of your provider is
located. Fill in your country and zipcode in the ‘Search for your address or zipcode’. Then click on
‘Masts’. You can see where your transmission tower is located. To our knowledge, this is the best
method. Sadly, the website does not offer 100% coverage and no rights may be derived from it.
