SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• Turn AC power OFF at the mains before working on any
electrical connections.
• All AC power wiring and coaxial cable wiring must conform
to local or national codes.
• The AC line voltage must be within 10% of the voltage
specied for the booster.
• A solid copper conductor no less than No. 8 AWG should be
connected to ground.
• DO NOT connect a ground wire to a gas supply line.
• DO NOT open the booster.There are no serviceable
parts inside.
Touching internal parts could cause damage from static electrical
discharge.
Opening the base unit DOES VOID THE WARRANTY.

HOW IT WORKS
The cellular booster provides reliable two-way cellular coverage by improving signal
strength in homes, buildings, ofces, and other areas where cellular reception is weak or
unreliable.
The system amplies the signal from the nearest cellular tower and retransmits at a higher
power level within a local area.
This manual provides simple installation instructions that will have your cellular booster kit
running in record time.

LCD INTERFACE FEATURE DEFINITIONS
Reading Features
1. Output power: like the bars on your cell phone but for the booster.
2. Input signal: strength being received by the booster from the outdoor antenna
3. Center frequency: of the band that is in focus.
4. ISO Alarm: This alarm ashes when you don’t have enough separation between
the outdoor and indoor antenna. This alarm has 3 levels, when it is constant it is
working properly, when it ickers every 3 seconds, there is a little oscillation and
when it ickers every 1 second it means there is a lot of oscillation. Be sure to solve
the oscillation problem, you must separate the distance between your outdoor and
indoor antenna and/or reduce the gain of the booster
5. SLEEP Alarm: This alarm ashes when the booster is in sleep mode. (The booster
will go into sleep mode when not is use)
6. Uplink Maximum Gain: The maximum gain your booster is set to send signals to
the operator tower.
7. Downlink Maximum Gain: The maximum gain your booster is set to receive
signals from the operator tower.
Input Features
8. ENTER button: Used to select and/or conrm a setting.
9. BACK button: Used to move to a previous setting page or cancel a setting.
10. GAIN Increase button: Used to manually increase the gain of the booster.
11. GAIN Decrease button: Used to manually decrease the gain of the booster.
12. SMART button: Used to turn On or Off the gain control smart function which
automatically adjusts the gain of the booster.

GETTING STARTED
Plan the layout of your system
Before you get started you will need to plan the layout of your system. This involves
checking signal strength for signals coming from the cellular tower, as well as
antenna, booster and cable placement.

BOOSTER – select location
Install the booster in an area that is protected from the
weather, properly ventilated and is away from excessive heat
and moisture.
1
SIGNAL ANTENNA (outdoor) - select location
Mount the signal (outdoor) antenna in an elevated outdoor
location so that it points towards the cellular tower and away from
where the inside antenna will be located.
2
OUTDOOR COAXIAL CABLE - select location
The outdoor coaxial cable is used to connect the signal
(outdoor) antenna to the booster.
3
INDOOR COAXIAL CABLE - (if used)
The indoor coaxial cable is used to connect the distribution
(indoor) antenna to the booster.
4
DISTRIBUTION ANTENNA (indoor)
The ideal location for the distribution antenna will be the area of your
property where you need to improve the signal most.
NOTE: The signal strength will be strongest closest to the antenna.
5
LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTOR - (SOLD SEPARATELY)
The lightning surge protector connects in between the signal
antenna and the booster.
IMPORTANT: Lightning surge protector must be grounded.

IDENTIFY THE BEST LOCATION TO INSTALL THE SIGNAL
(OUTDOOR) ANTENNA.
Check for signal strength
Select a location on the roof of the building to install the signal antenna,
by monitoring your cellular phone’s signal strength (signal bars) to nd the
strongest signal from your carrier’s cellular tower.
Mark the area
Mark that area as the installation location for the signal (outdoor).

13
RUN COAXIAL CABLE
Loosely run the coaxial cable from your outdoor antenna to your booster.
(after you have tested the system you can permanently secure the coaxial cable).
As you route and pull cabling, follow these general guidelines:
• Bend cables and route them smoothly, and protect the outer skin against any
damage.
• Keep horizontal cables straight and fasten them with a tie every three to
ve feet.
• Bind and fasten vertical cables every six to eight feet.
• Waterproof all outdoor connections with silicone caulking
• Be careful when plugging the connector in so as not to damage the center pins
on the connectors.
INSTALL THE SIGNAL (OUTDOOR) ANTENNA.
Mount the signal (outdoor) antenna
The signal antenna should be located as high as possible in order to capture the
best quality signal from the cellular tower.
Use the mounting hardware in the kit to attach the signal (outdoor) antenna to the
building.
Connect the signal (outdoor) antenna:
Connect the supplied coaxial cable to the antenna. We recommend applying
silicone caulking to fully waterproof the connection.
Attach the cable in such a way that a drip loop is formed. (see image on page 14).
Once mounted, connect one end of the coaxial cable to the signal (outdoor)
antenna and the other end to the cellular booster where it is marked “outdoor”.

HOW TO INSTALL THE COAXIAL CABLE FROM
YOUR OUTDOOR ANTENNA TO YOUR BOOSTER.
Step 1: Loosely run the coaxial cable from your outdoor antenna to your booster (this
way you can test the system before you permanently secure the coaxial cable).
Step 2: Mount the signal (the outdoor antenna).

CAUTION: please ensure neither you nor the antenna come in contact with
electrical power lines.
Step 3: After the outdoor antenna is mounted connect the supplied coaxial cable
to antenna.
Step 4: Attach the cable so that a drip loop is formed.
Step 5: Connect the cable to the cellular booster where it is marked “outdoor”.

The Yagi Lpda Antenna
The yagi is a very precise directional antenna with a
powerful reach. This antenna should be installed in
an elevated position and must be pointed towards
your carrier’s cellular tower.
Note: This antenna is not meant to capture signal
from multiple carriers.
The Post Antenna
The post is an omni-directional antenna with a 360
degree reach. This antenna should be installed in
an elevated position. It is designed to capture the
signal from multiple carrier towers.
The Panel Antenna
The panel is a directional antenna with a 120
degree reach and is designed to capture the
signal from multiple carrier towers. This antenna
should be installed in an elevated position and
must be pointed towards your carrier’s cellular
towers.
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT SIGNAL
(OUTDOOR) ANTENNA
Signal (outdoor) antennas, are needed to capture the signal emanating from
your carrier’s cellular tower. There are different types of signal (outdoor)
antennas each designed to meet your specic needs. The yagi lpda antenna,
the post antenna & the panel antenna.

The lightning surge protector can be installed indoors or outdoors. When
connecting outdoors, install the lightning surge protector inline between the signal
antenna (outdoor) and the coaxial cable. When connecting indoors, install the
lightning surge protector inline between the outdoor coaxial cable and the booster.
INSTALL THE DISTRIBUTION (INDOOR)
ANTENNA
Select the installation location of your supplied distribution (indoor) antenna
based on the following:
Dome omni directional antenna
Place in the center of the area where the signal needs to be amplied.
Panel directional antennae
Place in the outer perimeter of the area the signal needs to be amplied.
Whip omni directional antenna
Mount directly to the connector marked “indoor” on the cellular booster.
LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTOR
(sold separately)
IMPORTANT: Lightning surge protector must be grounded.
Connect a ground wire to the appropriate place on the
lightning surge protector and connect the other end to a
veried ground source.
