Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. Follow these steps carefully.

1. Outdoor Antenna Installation

Install the outdoor antenna in a location with the strongest possible signal, typically on the roof or an exterior wall. Ensure it is pointed towards the nearest cell tower. Use the provided mounting bracket to secure it firmly.

The outdoor antenna should be mounted in an elevated position, such as a roof, for best signal reception.

2. Indoor Unit (Booster) Placement

The main booster unit can be placed on a desktop or mounted on a wall. Choose a central location within the area where you need improved signal.

3. Connecting Components

1. Connect the outdoor antenna to the 'OUTDOOR' port on the booster unit using the 60ft coaxial cable.
2. Connect the indoor antenna to the 'INDOOR' port on the booster unit using the 15ft coaxial cable.
3. Connect the power supply to the booster unit and then plug it into a power outlet.

4. Ensuring Antenna Isolation

Maintain sufficient separation between the outdoor and indoor antennas to prevent oscillation (feedback). A minimum vertical separation of 20 feet and a horizontal separation of 30 feet is recommended. Walls and floors can help with isolation.

Operation

LCD Display Overview

The smart LCD display provides real-time information about the booster's performance. It shows the signal strength (dBm), gain (dB), and operating status (NOR for normal, OSC for oscillation) for each supported frequency band.

The LCD display provides real-time data on signal strength, gain, and operational status for each frequency band.

Testing Signal Strength

Before and after installation, it is recommended to test the outdoor signal strength to ensure optimal placement and performance. You need at least 1 bar of signal outside your home for the booster to function effectively.

• For iPhone:
  1. Dial *3001#12345#* then press the call button.
  2. Choose 'All Metrics', then 'Serving Cell Info'.
  3. Check 'Band Info' for details.
• For Android Phone:
  1. Download "Network Cell Info Lite" app.
  2. Choose "GAUGE".
  3. Check "BAND" for details.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Amazboost A1 Plus booster, consider the following common solutions:

• No Signal Improvement: Ensure the outdoor antenna is pointed towards the strongest signal source (nearest cell tower). Verify all cable connections are secure. Check the LCD display for any error indicators.
• Oscillation (OSC) Indicator: If the LCD shows 'OSC', it indicates feedback between the indoor and outdoor antennas. Increase the separation distance between the antennas, both vertically and horizontally. Ensure there are physical barriers (walls, floors) between them.
• Weak Signal Improvement: The coverage area depends on the initial outdoor signal strength. If the outdoor signal is very weak (1-2 bars), the boosted area will be smaller (approx. 700 sq ft). For larger coverage (up to 5000 sq ft), a stronger outdoor signal (5 bars) is needed. Try repositioning the outdoor antenna for better reception.
• Power Issue: Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected to the booster and plugged into a working electrical outlet.
