B-50K American Booster B-50K has been designed to improve and extend cellular coverage inside the buildings. B-50K amplifies signals from the nearest base station and re-transmits them at higher power level. B-50K provides service at 700MHz LTE, 850MHz Cellular, 1900MHz PCS and 2100MHz AWS frequencies without any additional setup or configuration. ® How it works Yagi Antenn a Receives Signal The signal booster’s outside antenna receives voice and data signals from a nearby cell tower.

Installation Guide STEP 1. Find the Strongest Signal 1-1. Using an iPhone Dial *3001#12345#*, then press Call. 1-2. Using an Android Download the ‘Network Signal info” from the Google Play store. After installing, you will be able to view your dB strength. 1-3. Using a Meter If you have a meter that detects and displays the current signal levels, you can use it.
STEP 1. Find the Strongest Signal Note The stronger signal you receive from the base station, the better coverage you will have inside your building.
STEP 2. Install the Outside Antenna The outside antenna must be mounted outside the building with the strongest cell signals. Mount the outside antenna as high as possible facing towards the desired location of the cell tower and facing the opposite direction of the expected location of the inside antenna. Outside / Inside Antenna Separation For the best performance, a minimum of 50 ft. distance between outside antenna and inside antenna is recommended.
STEP 2. Install the Outside Antenna Install the outside antenna in the location to receive the strongest signal according to the instructions of STEP2. Make sure the outside antenna is installed facing towards the cell tower.
STEP 3. Run the Outside Antenna Cable When mounting the outside antenna to the outside wall of your building, the easiest way is to run the cable on the outside of the wall and attach it to the exterior of your office & building. Then drill a hole through the wall which will allow the cable to appear on the inside of the building. To avoid any potential harm or damage, make sure that there are no electrical outlets, sewer water pipes, or electrical wiring in the wall before drilling.
STEP 3.
STEP 4. Install the Inside Antenna Choose a location for the inside antennas, more advantageously at the center of where the signal needs to be amplified.
STEP 4. Install the Inside Antenna 1 To Inside Antenna Cable (75 ft.
STEP 5. Install the Signal Booster Choose a location for the signal booster, preferably away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and is free from high temperatures. Do not place the signal booster in an air-tight enclosure. Attic installations may expose the booster to high heat.
STEP 5.
LED LED Status & Troubleshooting LED Status Description Green indicates the Signal Booster is powered, and working properly. Verify that AC/DC adapter’s cable is not damaged. Or Or Check if the AC outlet is working and not controlled by a wall switch that can cut power to the outlet. Isolation between the outside and inside antennas is being checked now. It will take up to 25 seconds. No troubleshooting is required.
LED Status Status LED is red. Output bars are flashing green. Flashing Red during 30 mins, then Solid Red. Description Troubleshooting Outside antenna and Inside antenna are not isolated enough from each other. So the Signal Booster is shutdown at this frequency. Change the position of Outside and Inside antennas.
LED LED Bar Display Number of LED bars on the front side of the Signal Booster will show input and output signal strength levels. The tables below indicate the signal strength levels.
Functions ALC (Auto Level Control) ALC maintains limit of the output power in order to protect bad influence to the Base Station. AGC (Auto Gain Control) The Signal Booster checks isolation between inside and outside antennas once a day. AGC sets up downlink and uplink gain value automatically depending on the input power level. ASD (Auto Shutdown) There are two cases when ASD works. 1) Outside antenna and Inside antenna are not isolated enough from each other.

Safety Guidelines WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK Opening the Signal Booster could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury. DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT Operating the Signal Booster with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to a severe damage to the Signal Booster. Use of unauthorized antennas, cables, and/or coupling devices not conforming with ERP/EIRP and/or indoor‐only restrictions is prohibited. Home/ personal use are prohibited.
IC Warning Statements RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2 – (transmitters) Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
WARRANTY Opening or tampering with the Signal Booster will void all warranties. American Booster provides a 3-year warranty for B-50K with all of its equipment. Every product of American Booster is guaranteed to be free of material defects or component malfunctions. This warranty does not cover to any Signal Boosters that have been exposed to any misuse, abuse, physical damage or inadequate maintenance.
