Output power. The signal strength from the outdoor antenna directly affects the efficiency of the indoor coverage.
It is very important to choose the location of the outdoor antenna carefully. With this in mind, it is not
recommended the donor antenna to be installed in an attic.
Testing the signal strength received from donor antenna mounted in site by mobile phone:
Please select the top of the building to install the donor antenna if the total floors are less than 7,
and must select a place like balcony or platform lower than 7th floor for the donor antenna if the
buildings are over 7 floors.
The mobile phone shall display full bar signals in location where the donor antenna is installed
The phone calls or data transmission are smooth and stable by 3 times testing in location where
the donor antenna is to be installed
As shown from the above illustration, testing the signals from A to E, and select a best place that
displays full bar signals to install the donor antenna.
Selection the installation direction of donor antenna
The donor antenna shall point to the direction of the tower, and it would be much better to keep
line of sight.
Please select the opposite directions for donor antenna and server antenna. If donor and server
antennas have to be installed in the same direction, please install them only after the signal
quality is tested and the self-oscillation is avoided. 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 after installation, please
adjust the direction of donor antenna or change its installation position in order to obtain the best
calling effect.
Donor antenna installation ---Notes:
Do not install the donor antenna during the rainy day with lightning.
Please follow the instructions to install the donor antenna.
It is a must that the waterproof shall be done to connectors of donor antenna and feeder lines.
