7. Repeater Installation

7.1. Installation requirements

7.1.1. Installation Location Requirements

1. The repeater shall be installed indoor in a cool, dry and ventilated room without erosive gas or

smoke, or on a cool and ventilated wall to ensure excellent heat dissipation.

2. Installation height should be sufficient for RF cable wiring, heat dissipation and maintenance.
3. Independent and stable power supply is necessary.

7.1.2. Power requirement

Generally AC 100~264V AC / 50±5Hz power supply is required.

7.2. Installation Steps

7.2.1. Installation schemes

INSTALLATION STEPS

1. Find an appropriate position for an outdoor antenna. (

see the

r

equirements in 6.1. sect.

)

2. Plug in the outdoor antenna to the mobile booster from BS side and fasten tightly.
3. Plug in the indoor antenna to the mobile booster from MS side and fasten tightly.
4. Connect the signal booster to the Power Supply.

!Some models have an inbuilt Power Supply. Please, examine the manual applied to your model,
if your signal repeater kit doesn’t include separate Power Supply, skip this step!

If the light indicator on the booster turns on it means the installation has been implemented
correctly.

NOTE: Switch on the signal booster only after you connect outdoor and indoor antennas in the
proper way!

5. Test the signal of your mobile telephone – a maximum quantity of bars should be indicated on

the display of your phone in each corner of the location within booster coverage zone. In case
the mobile signal is still instable try to change the position of the outdoor antenna for more
proper one.

Important notes for installation:

1. Cables from outdoor antenna should not be wound and be placed as straight as possible in order

not to create any hindrance for signal reception and its transmission.

2. Cables should be shortened to the acceptable maximum so that not to waste or decrease mobile

signal coverage range.
