Setup
Pre-Installation Considerations
Before installing, it is crucial to test your cell phone band and check your outdoor signal strength. A minimum outdoor signal strength of -110dBm is recommended for optimal performance.
Use the provided band testing methods to identify the strongest signal source:

Installation Overview
The system works by receiving an outdoor signal, amplifying it through the booster unit, and then broadcasting the enhanced signal indoors via the indoor antennas. Proper separation between outdoor and indoor antennas is critical to prevent signal oscillation (feedback loop).

Outdoor Antenna Installation
Mount the outdoor directional antenna in a location with the strongest signal, typically on a roof or pole. Ensure it is aimed towards the nearest cell tower. Use the provided mounting kits for secure installation.

Booster Unit Installation
Install the 6K Signal Booster unit in a central location within your home or office, ensuring it is at least 30 feet (9 meters) vertically and 20 feet (6 meters) horizontally away from the indoor antennas to prevent signal feedback. Connect the outdoor antenna cable to the 'Outdoor' port on the booster.
Indoor Antenna Installation
Connect the indoor panel antennas to the 'Indoor' ports on the booster. Position the indoor antennas in the areas where you need improved signal. Ensure proper separation from the outdoor antenna and the booster unit.

Operating
The Atcall 6K Signal Booster features an HD LCD screen for real-time monitoring of signal strength and working status of each frequency band. This display aids in verifying proper installation and troubleshooting any issues.
The smart chip AGC (Automatic Gain Control) automatically adjusts the booster's gain to ensure stable performance and prevent interference with cell towers.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Atcall 6K Cell Phone Signal Booster, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Keep the unit clean: Regularly wipe the booster unit and antennas with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Check connections: Periodically inspect all cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Protect from extreme conditions: While the outdoor antenna is designed for outdoor use, avoid exposing the booster unit to excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture, or poorly ventilated areas.
- Avoid physical damage: Handle the unit and antennas with care to prevent drops or impacts.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Atcall 6K Cell Phone Signal Booster, refer to the LCD monitor for diagnostic information. Common issues and solutions are listed below:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No signal improvement | Outdoor antenna not aimed correctly; Insufficient outdoor signal; Cables loose or damaged. | Adjust outdoor antenna direction using LCD monitor feedback; Verify outdoor signal strength; Check all cable connections. |
| LCD shows 'OSC' (Oscillation) | Insufficient isolation between outdoor and indoor antennas. | Increase separation distance between outdoor and indoor antennas (min. 30ft vertical, 20ft horizontal). Ensure no direct line of sight. |
| Power LED off | No power supply. | Check power adapter connection and power outlet. |
| Weak indoor signal | Indoor antennas not optimally placed; Obstructions. | Reposition indoor antennas for better coverage; Minimize obstructions. |
