This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator& your body. Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
3. Pre-Installation Guidelines
a. INSTALLATION TOOLS
The following tools are required for installation:
Standard wrench and philips head screwdriver
Standard drill (optional)
Mobile phone operating on 800 and/or 1900 MHz bands (any USA or Canadian
mobile phone except Nextel)
Wire fasteners (optional)
b. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Description of TWDBMPSB-01 System
The TWDBMPSB-01 Dual Band Wireless Amplifier/Repeater system provides cellular
signal coverage to areas that have low signal strength to adequately operate a mobile
phone. In these poor coverage areas it becomes difficult to place or receive calls and
usually results in a dropped call. The TWDBMPSB-01 dual band amplifier/repeater system
provides increased reception indoors by filtering, re-directing and amplifying the
available signal. This translates into fewer dropped calls, safe, clear connections and
stronger signals. The TWDBMPSB-01 dual band system operates with all carriers in the USA
and Canada except Nextel.

The TWDBMPSB-01 system contains a dual band low power indoor antenna,
amplifier/repeater unit and high gain omni-directional outdoor antenna. The outdoor
omni-directional antenna must be installed and operate in a vertical position.
The outdoor omni-directional antenna, P/N ANTDBHUS-01, is installed outside
of the building in a location with the strongest cellular signal as indicated by the bars on the mobile phone.
The inside antenna must be mounted in a central location in the building that is 30’ or greater from the outside
antenna. The inside and outside antenna also must be separated by an exterior wall.
Typical In-Building Coverage
The TWDBMPSB-01 system is designed to provide optimal coverage for areas up to 3,000 square feet.
Interior coverage varies based upon the building construction and materials.
Typically the TWDBMPSB-01 system will penetrate 1-2 interior walls and 1 floor depending on
construction material.
Pre-installation Considerations
Establish a site installation plan based upon desired central coverage area
The inside and outside antenna must have a separation distance of 30 feet or
greater, the outside antenna must be outside and separated from the inside antenna
by an exterior wall. This avoids feedback/oscillation problems.
Identify the outside antenna location. If the outdoor coverage area is very poor,
the outside antenna should be placed on the side of the building where the signal
is the strongest. If the signal is equally strong outdoors, the outside antenna
should be placed in a secure, unobstructed area.
Based upon the desired coverage area, choose a central location, and position the

- 6 -
TWDBMPSB-01 unit as high as possible for better coverage.
For maximum coverage the location of the indoor antenna should have a direct
line-of-site to as much of the coverage area as possible.
The location of the TWDBMPSB-01 unit must be accessible within reach of the supplied 50’
cable and within 6’ of an AC adapter (or an extension cord can be used). The
TWDBMPSB-01 unit is not waterproof and must be kept in a dry location.
c. ELECTRICAL POWER
The TWDBMPSB-01 system includes an AC adapter 120 VAC to 5 VDC power supply that
plugs into a standard 120 VAC receptacle (use P/N ADREPUS-01, a 120 VAC to 5VDC power
supply.)
WARNING!
Only the provided AC adapter is to be used with the TWDBMPSB-01
system. Using any other AC adapter will harm the TWDBMPSB-01
amplifier/repeater unit, it can be detected and voids the warranty.
d. AMPLIFIER/REPEATER STATUS
Power LED GREEN–shows normal Status and TWDBMPSB-01 is operating normally.
Power LED RED–possible oscillation. Unit is not working properly. Please re-arrange antennas or move them
further apart.
Beeping intervals of 3 seconds (up to 3 minutes) - possible oscillation. Please re-arrange antennas or move them
further apart.
e. IN-BUILDING COVERAGE PROBLEMS
If the TWDBMPSB-01 unit is working properly and the coverage area appears to be
smaller than anticipated, one or more of the following may limit the signal strength to the
area.
Physical obstructions attenuate the cell signal –the path of the cell signal is
weakened by objects. Large metal objects block or reflect the signal. Inspect the
coverage area, rearrange any metal objects in the path of the cell signal and/or relocate the
indoor antenna. You can also position the indoor antenna as high as possible.
Distance between inside and outside antenna –Verify that inside and outside antennas are located at
least 30’ apart and separated by an exterior wall.
Cabling –examine coaxial cable run and verify that the cable is not kinked, coiled or damaged. Re-
locate cable to avoid kinks or coils.
f. COAXIAL CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
A high quality low-loss (quad shield) RG-6 cable of up to 50-ft may be used to connect the outside antenna to
the amplifier. A standard RG-174 cable of up to 6-ft may be used to connect an approved inside antenna to the
booster. A standard RG-58 cable of up to 12-ft may be used to connect an approved inside antenna to the
booster.

4. Home/Office Installation
Review pre-installation considerations and determine site installation plan.
1. Install supplied outside antenna (P/N ANTDBXTUS-01) with supplied hardware. Mount the outside
antenna in a vertical position clear of metal objects and obstructions.
WARNING!
Only Think Wireless authorized antenna products may be used with the TWDBMPSB-01 system.
Using unauthorized equipment may harm the TWDBMPSB-01 system and voids the warranty.
2. Connect one end of the 50’ cable (P/N CBLREP-01) to the outside antenna. Secure
cable to the side of the building with appropriate fasteners (not supplied). Route
cable according to site installation plan to the TWDBMPSB-01 unit.
3. Attach the other end of the cable to the TWDBMPSB-01 unit on the port labeled outside antenna.
4. Connect the inside antenna (P/N ANTDBUS-01) to TWDBMPSB-01 connector labeled
“Inside antenna.”
5. Plug 120 VAC power supply to the TWDBMPSB-01 unit. Plug the other end into a
standard household 120VAC receptacle.
6. If the power light on the TWDBMPSB-01 unit is green, then the TWDBMPSB-01 system is
operating. Test the repeater by making a cell call.
