Follow these steps for a hassle-free installation. No technical experience is required.

4.1 Pre-Installation: Check Signal Strength

Before installation, it is crucial to identify the strongest outdoor signal. Use your smartphone to check signal strength in different outdoor locations, especially on your roof or highest point. You can use field test mode on your phone:

  • Ji bo iPhone: Dial *3001#12345#* then press the call button. Navigate to 'All Metrics' and then 'Serving Cell Info' to check 'Band Info'.
  • Ji bo Android: Download a signal strength app like "Network Cell Info Lite" to check 'GAUGE' and 'BAND' information.

Aim for a signal strength between -50 dBm and -80 dBm for optimal performance. A signal weaker than -100 dBm may not be sufficient for the booster to operate effectively.

4.2 Outdoor Antenna Installation

Install the outdoor antenna at the highest point possible, such as a roof or pole, where the signal is strongest. Point the antenna towards the nearest cell tower. Ensure it is securely mounted using the provided mounting kit.

4.3 Booster Unit (Indoor Antenna) Placement

The booster unit has a built-in indoor antenna. Place the booster in a central location within your home where you need improved signal. For best performance and to prevent oscillation, maintain a significant separation distance between the outdoor antenna and the indoor booster unit.

Figure 5: For optimal performance, maintain a horizontal distance of >20ft (6m) and a vertical distance of >20ft (6m) between the outdoor antenna and the indoor booster unit. A straight-line distance of >30ft (9m) is recommended.

4.4 Girêdanên Cable

  1. Connect one end of the 60ft coaxial cable to the outdoor antenna.
  2. Route the cable indoors and connect the other end to the 'Outdoor' port on the Atcall booster unit.
  3. Ensure all connections are finger-tight.

4.5 Hêzdarkirin

Connect the power supply to the booster unit and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The booster will power on, and the LCD display will illuminate.

5. Telîmatên Operating

The Atcall Fast Link booster features an HD LCD display for real-time monitoring and easy troubleshooting.

5.1 Têgihîştina Dîmendera LCD

The LCD screen provides critical information about the booster's status and signal strength for each supported frequency band.

Figure 6: The HD LCD display shows real-time downlink signal strength (dBm), working status (NORM/OSC), frequency band, uplink gain, and downlink gain. It also allows for band switching and power control.

  • Signal Strength (dBm): Indicates the strength of the received signal for each band. A higher (less negative) number means a stronger signal.
  • Rewşa Xebatê: Displays 'NORM' for normal operation or 'OSC' if oscillation is detected.
  • Bandora Frekansê: Shows the specific cellular band being boosted (e.g., Band 12/17, Band 13).
  • Uplink/Downlink Gain: Nîşan dide amplification level for signals going to and from the cell tower.

5.2 Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

The booster is equipped with an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) system. This intelligent technology automatically detects the existing signal strength and adjusts the booster's output power to ensure stable performance and prevent overload, optimizing signal amplification without causing interference.

5.3 Lihevhatina Hilgir

The Atcall Fast Link booster is compatible with all major Canadian carriers and their respective frequency bands, ensuring broad usability across the country.

6. Destpêkirin

If you experience issues with your Atcall Cell Phone Booster, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

PirsegirêkSedema gengazÇare
No Signal Improvement / Weak SignalOutdoor antenna not receiving strong enough signal; incorrect antenna direction; cables loose.Verify outdoor antenna placement and direction towards the nearest cell tower. Ensure all cable connections are secure. Check the LCD display for input signal strength.
LCD shows 'OSC' (Oscillation)Insufficient isolation between outdoor and indoor antennas.Increase the physical separation distance between the outdoor antenna and the booster unit (indoor antenna). Ensure they are not facing each other directly. Refer to Figure 5 for recommended distances.
Booster is Off / No DisplayPower supply issue; unit not plugged in.Check if the power adapter is securely connected to the booster and the power outlet. Try a different outlet.
Specific Band Not BoostingWeak or no signal on that specific band from the outdoor antenna.Check the LCD display for the signal strength of the problematic band. Adjust outdoor antenna direction or relocate if necessary to capture a stronger signal on that band.
