CELL800| 5| 824-849MHz| 869-894MHz

Please focus on the gauge that contains the band you are using

Getting Started

Step 1 Connect the Power Supply to 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 3.1 Find the band you are using

For Android

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 required.

Find the cell tower

Enter cellmapper.net
Choose your own carrier and band here.
Then enter the coordinate of where you are trying to install the signal booster, and press Enter key.
(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 be because the app intercepts the locations for security reasons.)
After the map jumps to the location, you can scroll the mouse pulley and zoom it out, then you will see the tower near the location. It would be better to take a screenshot of thispage to guide the following installing steps. 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.

Determine 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.

Connect the outdoor antenna with the booster

Note ：At this stage, don’ t connect the indoor antenna to the booster.

Adjust and fix the Outdoor Antenna

Have your outdoor antenna pointed to the cell tower you found before and observe the reading on the app. Adjust the outdoor antenna accordingly.

Notes:

The output power should be the higher the better.
The full output power for Dot is 10dBm. And the full gain is 60dB.

Connect the indoor antenna with the booster

Adjust the indoor antenna

Place the signal booster on a table and make sure the booster is within the coverage area
Make sure that the gain reaches about 60dB. If not, please increase the vertical and horizontal distance between the two antennas or add some barriers

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 comparison.
Check if the number of signal bars increases.
Make a phone call or send messages and check if the voice and streaming are better

Regular Problems and 1 normal status

If the booster is working normally, no further adjustment is required

OVERLOAD

Outdoor signal is too strong

| Have your outdoor antenna pointed slightly away from the cell tower
CELL800| <60dB| >=8dBm
LOOP BACK

2、Add barriers(e.g. walls) Please try these solutions until

the gain reaches or is over 60dB.

CELL800| <60dB| <8dBm
POOR SIGNAL

ISO（Alarm） light solid blue

Input signal is too weak

| 1、Try adjusting the outdoor antenna to the best direction 2、Try adjusting the outdoor antenna to another cell tower 3、Try increasing the height of

the outdoor antenna and make

sure there are no barriers between the tower and the outdoor antenna

Please try these solutions until the output power reaches or is over -5dBm.

NORMAL

Note:

Some customers have some misunderstandings about boosters, and we would like to clarify it here:
It you cant even get a stable I bar outside the house or on the root, 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.
