Please focus on the gauge that contains the band you are using.
Getting Started
Step 1 Connect the Power Supply and the Booster
Step 2 Connect the Booster with the App Register an ID first and
log in. Add the booster to the device list.
Step 3
Find the cell tower & Determine the outdoor antenna’s position
- Find the band you are using
Download NetWork Cell Info Lite in the Google store and open it.
It can be seen from the example picture that the frequency band is band 13.
(According to the form before, you need to pay attention to Gauge LTE700)
Then click MAP. You can see your phone connecting to a tower, and you can try
aiming your outdoor antenna at it. But sometimes this is not accurate. You
could also move to Step 3.2 to find the tower.
Note: Please take screenshots at this stage.
For ios
-
Dial 3001#12345#
-
Follow the instructions, take the screenshots as
-
Find the cell tower
-
Enter net
-
Choose your own carrier and band
-
Then enter the coordinate of where you are trying to install the signal booster, and press Enter
(In fact when you open Cellmapper, the map on the right will automatically locate your area if you’ve given the site permission to access your location. If you found tower sites not even displayed on the map, it might because the app intercepts the locations for security reasons.)
-
The map on the right will jump to the location, then you can scroll the mouse pulley, zoom it out, you will see the tower near the location. It would be better to take a screenshot of this page to guide the following installing Should you have any questions, please contact our tech support.
Note:If you need help finding the tower, please contact our tech support and provide your carrier, band and screenshots taken in the last steps.
3.3Determine the outdoor antenna’ s position
The outdoor antenna is usually placed at one of the 4 ends of the roof.
Please choose the position according to the tower’ s location. Make sure there
are no barriers between the antenna and the tower.
Step 4 Connect the outdoor antenna with the booster
Step 5 Adjust the outdoor antenna
Notes:
- Have your outdoor antenna pointed to the cell tower you found before and observe the reading on the app. Adjust the outdoor antenna accordingly.4K Plus
- Try to get the highest possible output power for each band and try to make 2-3 gauges turn green.
- You can either observe the signal meter value (full output power is the best) or the signal description (Super is the best).
- The full output power for 4k Plus is And the full gain is 65dB.
The full output power for 10k Plus is 12dbm. And the full gain is 68dB.
Step 6 Fix the outdoor antenna direction when you get the best output
power
Step 7 Install the booster and the cables
Since there’s a built-in indoor antenna in 4K/10K Plus, the booster shall be installed as a panel antenna. Please have your booster pointed to the area you would like to cover.
Step 8 Signal quality test
You could do the following:
- First make sure the signal gauge value is unchanged from that during the outdoor antenna installation.
- Do speed tests with the booster on and off, and make a
- Check if the number of signal bars
- Make a phone call or send messages and check if the voice and streaming are better.
Step 9 Fix the booster
Fix the booster with the provided expansion bolt and hook. Mount the signal booster in a dry and cool area, and it shall be easily accessible for maintenance.
Regular Problems and 1 normal status
If the booster is working normally, no further adjustment is required

| Check the band you are using again. If it stays at band66,get into the ‘Detail’ / ‘Setting’ of gagues on Signal Supervisor and switch off RF switch of AWS2100, then adjust the outdoor antenna again. It would be better if there are two persons and one can stay near the indoor antenna to check if the signal is boosted.

**** Note:
Some customers have some misunderstandings about boosters, and we would like
to clarifyit here:
If you can’t even get a stable 1 bar outside the house or on the roof, then we
suggest you return it as it won’t work in areas with very weak signal, the
same is true of all boosters on the market.
