2. Informații de siguranță

  • Asigurați o împământare corespunzătoare pentru toate conexiunile electrice.
  • Do not operate the booster in wet or damp conditii.
  • Keep the booster unit and antennas away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
  • Only use the provided power supply. Using an unapproved power supply may damage the device and void the warranty.
  • Maintain adequate separation between the outdoor antenna and the indoor antenna to prevent self-oscillation.
  • Installation should be performed by individuals familiar with electrical and antenna systems.

5. Ghid de instalare

Follow these steps carefully for optimal performance. It is recommended to perform a "soft install" first to test placement before permanent mounting.

5.1. Site Selection and Signal Check

Before installation, identify the location with the strongest outdoor signal. Use your mobile phone to check signal bars in various outdoor locations, especially on the roof or near windows. The outdoor antenna should be placed where it receives at least 1-2 bars of stable signal.

5.2. Outdoor Antenna Installation

  1. Mount the Outdoor Directional Antenna on a pole or mast at the highest point of your building (e.g., roof, chimney, or exterior wall) where the strongest signal is received.
  2. Ensure the antenna is pointed towards the nearest cell tower for your carrier. You may need to adjust its direction slightly to maximize signal strength on the booster's LCD display later.
  3. Secure the antenna firmly using the provided U-bolts and L-bracket.

5.3. Booster Unit Placement

  1. Choose a central location indoors for the main booster unit, preferably near a power outlet.
  2. Ensure there is sufficient separation (at least 20-30 feet vertically and horizontally) between the booster unit (and its connected indoor antenna) and the outdoor antenna to prevent signal feedback and self-oscillation.
  3. Mount the booster unit to a wall using the provided screws or place it on a flat surface.

5.4. Indoor Antenna Installation

  1. Install the Indoor Panel Antenna in the area where you need improved signal coverage. This is typically a central location within your home or office.
  2. The indoor antenna should be mounted on a wall, facing the area where signal is needed most.
  3. Maintain maximum possible separation from the outdoor antenna.

5.5. Componente de conectare

  1. Connect the Outdoor Directional Antenna to the "OUTDOOR" port on the booster unit using one of the provided coaxial cables (e.g., 40ft, 20ft, or 16.5ft depending on distance). Ensure connections are finger-tight.
  2. Connect the Indoor Panel Antenna to the "INDOOR" port on the booster unit using another coaxial cable.
  3. If routing cables through a window, use the 12" Short/Tiny Window Cable to avoid damaging the main coaxial cables.

5.6. Pornire

  1. Once all antennas are securely connected and positioned, plug the 12V/5A AC Power Supply into the booster unit's power input.

6. Funcționare

After successful installation, the GAGBK Cell Signal Booster operates automatically. The LCD display provides critical information about its performance.

  • Display LCD: The screen shows the working frequency, real-time input and output signal strength, and gain levels. Monitor this display to ensure optimal operation.
  • Control automat al câștigului (AGC): The booster continuously monitors the incoming signal and adjusts its gain to prevent overload and maintain stable performance.
  • Indicatoare LED: The booster may have LED indicators that reflect its working status (e.g., power, signal, alarm). Refer to the LCD for detailed information.
  • Modul de somn: The booster will enter a low-power sleep mode when no active mobile devices are detected within its coverage area, conserving energy.

7. Întreținere

  • curatenie: Periodically wipe the booster unit and antennas with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Verificarea cablului: Regularly check all coaxial cable connections for tightness and inspect cables for any signs of damage or wear.
  • Verificarea antenei: Ensure outdoor antenna remains securely mounted and free from obstructions (e.g., tree branches, debris).
  • Ventilare: Ensure the booster unit has adequate ventilation and is not covered, to prevent overheating.

  • Insufficient separation between antennas (self-oscillation).
  • Outdoor antenna not pointed correctly.
  • Problemă de alimentare.
  • Verify at least 1 bar of signal exists outside the building. The booster cannot create signal.
  • Check all coaxial cable connections to ensure they are tight.
  • Increase the physical separation between the outdoor and indoor antennas. Ensure they are not facing each other directly.

  • Ensure the power supply is securely plugged into the booster and a working outlet.
Weak indoor signal despite booster being on.
  • Indoor antenna placement.
  • Outdoor signal too weak.
  • Cable loss.
  • Relocate the indoor antenna to a more central position or closer to the area needing coverage.
  • Re-adjust the outdoor antenna for maximum signal input. Consider a higher mounting point.
  • Ensure coaxial cables are not excessively long or damaged.
Booster LCD shows "Self-Oscillation" or similar error.
  • Insufficient isolation between antennas.
  • Increase the distance between the outdoor and indoor antennas.
  • Ensure there are physical barriers (walls, roof) between the antennas.
  • Re-orient antennas so they are not pointing directly at each other.
