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 Outdoor Antenna
   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.
   Notes:
   Wrap waterproof tape around the connectors between outdoor antenna and feeder line to avoid water or other kinds of damage.

2. Install Indoor Antenna
   According to the requirement of practical application, please select Indoor panel antenna, or Omniceiling 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.
   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.
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” longteam 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

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.

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.
