P25/27 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE 1. Signal Booster Improves Cellular Signals In our real life, we practice to install signal booster to eliminate the problems that UE can’t receive signal from cell tower as construction material or other blocks. As figure show: we install one donor antenna at a location outside of the home or building where the strongest cell signal is present. The donor antenna receives and sends that weak signal via coax cable to a signal booster located indoors.

P25/27 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE FCC Statement Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

P25/27 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE Front view Side view RF safety warning: any antenna used with this device must be located at least 8 inches from all persons. Device cannot support home/personal use . ꙬWARNING. This is NOT a consumer device. It is designed for installation by FCC LICENSEES AND QUALIFIED INSTALLERS. You MUST have an FCC LICENESE or express consent of an FCC license to operate this device.

P25/27 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE ⚫ Proper aiming of the outside antenna towards the source of the cell signal is very important. Generally, outside the building signal is good, so outside antenna be mounted at veranda or open view area, facing toward cell tower ⚫ Cell tower height is at the height of 6-10 floor mostly .so under 10 floor building, try to find open view area to mount outside antenna. Above 10 floor, try to find veranda or platform to mount the outside antenna. ⚫ Outside antenna location.

P25/27 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE 3) Signal Booster Oscillation Avoidance Signal booster is two-way (full duplexer) amplifier.so donor antenna and sever antenna should be adequate isolation to prevent any feedback “oscillations”. We take MIC and speaker for example to clear understanding, when we put MIC near speaker, the speaker produces sharp scream. In order to ensure signal booster work normally, the isolation between donor antenna and sever antenna is bigger 10-15dB than signal booster gain.

P25/27 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE meter, try to raise the height of donor antenna. b) Horizontally distance: the distance between donor antenna and sever antenna keep over 20-30 meters, better separated by wall c) Horizontally and vertical combination: presume above two ways fail, combine them.

P25/27 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE 6) Installing the Inside Panel Antenna(s) Panel antenna has certain directivity, if it is mounted in wall, preferably in the center of where the signal needs to be amplified. If sever antenna is put in ceiling, it can be only put in where in the center of coverage area. but the signal strength will be little weak and coverage area will be smaller. Sever antenna can’t “see” the location where panel antenna be mounted and have enough safety isolation distance.

P25/27 SERIES INSTALLATION GUIDE 4. Post Install Setup After signal booster installation finish, we will set signal booster according to scene environment to ensure system work normally. Wisdom APP can help you to make setting and adjustment effectively after you install the APP in your smart phone. 1) Install APP a) Scan attached QR code and obtain download link. b) Download APP and install in mobile phone. During installation, system will show open Bluetooth, please confirm to open.
