Before you get started, you will need to plan the layout of your system. This involves finding the
location with the strongest received signal from the cellular tower, as well as antenna, booster,
and cable placement.
General installation steps:
1. Find the strongest received signal for the location of the outdoor antenna.
2. Install the outdoor antenna on the roof to obtain the strongest downlink signal from the local
cellular towers. It should also be as far away as possible from where you plan to place the indoor
antenna (vertical separation is more important than horizontal separation).
3. Install the indoor antennas where you want to improve the signal level.
4. Mount the booster, connect the cables from the outdoor antenna and indoor antenna at the
designated ports, and connect the booster to the AC supply (make sure all the cables are connected
before applying power).
1.4 How to find the location with the strongest received signal
The outdoor signal strength the booster receives directly affects the efficiency of the indoor
coverage. That is why it is crucially important to install the antenna at a good location and point it
properly towards a tower where signal reception is the strongest.
There are many methods that can be used to find the strongest signal from the cellular towers.
One is to use the LCD display on the booster that shows the downlink power output of the booster
in each band, the other is to use a mobile phone or mobile phone app to test signal strength, and
the third is to use a commercially available signal strength meter.
We highly recommend that you use the LCD display on the booster as this method is generally
more convenient. However, in situations where the desired carrier's signal is much weaker than
the other local signals, using a mobile phone, app, or signal level meter can be a more accurate
method of homing in on the best signal for installation.
