Shenzhen Fuzhixing Electronics YA70 Cell Phone Signal Booster

OVERVIEW

Introduction

The booster is designed to realize the wireless forwarding and bidirectional amplifying of the base station’s signal, expand the coverage of communication signal and cover its blind zone. When booster is working, the outside antenna (connecting to the OUTDOOR or BTS Port of booster) will receive the cell signal from signal tower and send the signal to the booster through coaxial cable;
then the booster amplifies the signal and send the boosted signal to the inside antenna (connecting to the INDOOR or MS Port of booster); finally, the inside antenna could transmit the signal into your house.
The cell phone signal booster will only make a weak signal stronger, it can’t create a signal. It won’t work if the outdoor antenna can’t receive any signal.
The outdoor antenna should receive 2-3 bars of stable signal in the location where the outdoor antenna is fixed; otherwise, the booster won’t work very well.

Installation LocationRequirement

1. It is important that the repeater is installed in a place where is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and with proper ventilation. Do not place the repeater in an air-tight enclosure.
2. Installation height should be easy for RF cable wiring, heat dissipation, security and maintenance.
3. There should be an independent and stable power supply.
4. Lightning protection is recommended for all in-building installations. Take extreme care to ensure neither you nor the antenna come in contact with any electrical power lines.stability.

Installation of Outdoor antenna
The repeater’s main function is improve weak RF signals of an area. A simple formula:
Input power+ Gain=output power. The signal strength from the outdoor antenna directly affects the efficiency of the indoor coverage. it is very important to choose the outdoor antenna location in order to get the best signals.

Testing the signal strength received from outdoor antenna by mobile phone:
Select an outside antenna location on the roof of the building to install the outdoor antenna, using a cell phone to find the strongest signal from the celltower.
The phone calls or data transmission shall be smooth and stable by 3 times testing in location
Fix the outdoor antenna after selecting the best position, and adjust height or angles slightly in order to get the best signal with suitable input power level and calling quality.
TestthecallqualityofOutdoorantenna(forprofessionalinstallationteamonly）

Selecting the installation direction of outdoor antenna.
The outdoor antenna should point in the direction of the tower, and it is much better to keep line of sight.
Select opposite directions for outdoor antenna and indoor antennas. Please test the signal quality and make sure to avoid self-oscillation first, if have to install Outdoor and Indoor antennas in the same direction. If the directional antenna is selected, the main directional angle should point to the tower antenna.
If the performance is poor due to weak signals or poor phone call quality, please adjust the direction of outdoor antenna or change its position in order to obtain the best calling effect.
The wideband repeater supports all mobile operators or different mobile systems, so please adjust the outdoor antenna direction to have a balance between signals of different mobile operators or various mobile systems.
Outdoor antenna installation—Notes:
Do not install the outdoor antenna during the rainy day with lightning. Please follow the instructions to install the outdoor antenna.
It is very important to waterproof the connectors of outdoor antenna and feeder lines.
In order to avoid interference, please note that the outdoor antenna should be far away from objects of metal, high voltage line, RF antennas and high voltage transformer.
Repeater is a tow-way signal amplifier. So proper isolation between outdoor antenna and indoor antenna is necessary to avoid self-oscillation. (About the definition for self-oscillation, take the MIC and loudspeaker for example, if it is too close for each other, it could make loud noise.)
As shown in the below illustration, the booster amplifies the downlink signal from the tower and send to the indoor antenna hereafter. If the distance between outdoor antenna and indoor antenna is less than the required distance, the amplified signal R will go back from indoor antenna to outdoor antenna. So it will lead to self-oscillation and reduce the coverage area, also the bad calling quality could happen at the same time, and the worse is that mobile network could be influenced badly and the operators will finally come to shut off the repeater system.
The minimum distance between outdoor antenna and indoor antenna shall be more than 39ft; again, the direction of outdoor and indoor antennas shall be opposite. For example,

Cable layout and connector assembly
Connect cables to the booster’s ports after installing and fixing outside and inside antennas.Steps as below:

1. Open the cable package and make it bend naturally and smoothly.
2. Keep horizontal cables straight and fasten them with a fixing clip every 1 to 1.5 meters.
3. The cable should be bent naturally and smoothly to avoid cable damage caused by strong pulling.
4. RF cables should be separated from power cables; If the site condition are limited, installing RF cables and power cables together may affect product performance.
5. Tighten all cable connections to ensure a good contact.
6. Offer waterproof treatment to the exposed cable ends to avoid oxidation.
7. Finish the cable layout

At last, plug the Power Supply into wall outlet and enjoy your boosted cell signal!

Check Coverage

1. PerformatestwithamobilephoneordatacardCheckbelow:

   • A weak input signal leads to the low output power. Need to change the direction of outdoor antenna or its installation position or replace outdoor antenna with higher gain antenna to increase input signal power level.
   • Check whether it is necessary to add more Indoor antennas sine barriers to block the signal penetration, and check whether the repeater’s power is enough.
     Install more Indoor antennas or replace with are better of higher power level.

2. If the signals in small part of the areas have not been improved,please check below:

   • Check whether the service antenna is installed correctly or not, you may need to move the antenna location to improve coverage.
   • Check if it is necessary to adjust the direction of the service antenna.
   • Check whether it is necessary to add one or more antennas to enhance the coverage of special areas.

1. The signal booster will only work with the correct frequency, so please make sure your phone signal is with the same frequency as the signal booster.
2. This cell phone signal booster will only make a weak signal stronger, it can’t create a signal. That means it won’t work if the outdoor antenna can’t receive any signal.
3. The outdoor antenna should receive 2-3 bars of stable signal in the location where the outdoor antenna is fixed; otherwise, the booster won’t work very well.
4. ust connect the antennas first, and then switch on the power; otherwise, may damage there peter.
5. Determine the best location where the highest signal strength is received on your phone (most amount of bars).

• Reason 1: There are loose or wrong connections in the repeater system.
• Solution: Check that the connections between the different parts of the system are hooked up correctly and tightly.
• Reason 2: The signals of other operators nearby received by outdoor antenna aretoostrong.(For example,theotheroperator’ssignalsare10dbstronger than the needed signals).
• Solution 1: Change the direction of the outdoor antenna or its installation position, so that the gap of signal strength is reduced between operators.
• Solution 2: Use barriers ( like buildings ) to block signals of other operators.

The Solution to different LED Lights’ Status

• Connecting Indoor and outdoor antennas and then power on, the signal booster and power adapter can work normally if the LED of boosters yon green andadapter’sLEDalsokeepongreenorred.
• If the booster’s LED are flashing reported,or its red indicator light stay on without connecting any antenna, meaning that the booster breakdown and please contact the Customer Service to do there place ment.
• Ifthepowerindicatorisnotonandtheadaptercan’twork, please contact Customer Service to do the replacement.
• Connecting indoor and outdoor antennas and then power on, but the phone’s signal can’t get enhancement while the green or red booster’s LED are flashing or its red indicator stay on; meaning that outdoor antennas receive a strong signal and the boosters stay on Overpower or Self-Oscillationstatus. Users need to turn off the power and exclude the theater nalfaults by your self, then adjust the distance between outdoor and indoor antennas; finally, restart your booster.  If necessary, please contact your local dealer directly.

Remark:
Increase the output power*—Recommended ways: adjust the outdoor antenna direction/location, or replace with a higher gain antenna to increase input signal strength.
