inside the buildings. B-50KR amplifies signals from the nearest base station and re-transmits them
at higher power level. B-50KR provides service at 700MHz LTE, 850MHz Cellular, 1900MHz PCS and
2100MHz AWS frequencies without any additional setup or configuration.

How it works
Receives Signal
The signal booster’s outside
antenna receives voice and
data signals from a nearby
cell tower.
Receives Signal
The signal booster receives
the signal from the outside
antenna and after amplifying
the voice and data signals, sends
them to the inside antenna.
Improves Signal
The inside antenna
distributes the boosted
signals inside your building.

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.

B-50KR User Guide
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.
-70dBm
-90dBm

B-50KR User Guide
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. The bigger the separation distance from the antenna, the higher
the coverage provided by the booster. However the smaller the separation distance, the lower
the coverage provided by the booster.
11
B-50KR User Guide
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 oflce & 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.
Note TV cables already being used for other purposes can not be shared with the cell
booster during installation.
After drilling the required hole, run the cable through and seal it.
In some instances, it may be possible to run the cable up into the fascia of the attic overhang.
In this circumstance, the cable will be accessible in the attic further routing.

Description
Troubleshooting
Status LED is red.
Output bars are flashing green.
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. Make sure the
Outside antenna is not facing towards
your own roof or at the inside antenna
as this will cause isolation issue and
the signal booster will stop amplifying
signals at this frequency.
Flashing Red during 30 mins,
then Solid Red.
Uplink Signal coming from the outside
antenna to Base Station is too strong
and may cause troubles to carriers
network, so the Signal Booster stops
service at this frequency.
Change the position of Outside
and Inside antennas. Make sure the
Outside antenna is not facing towards
your own roof or at the inside antenna
as this will cause isolation issue and
the signal booster will stop amplifying
signals at this frequency.
Signal from BTS station is too weak.
Change the position of Outside
antenna to receive stronger signal
from Base Station.
Outside antenna and Inside antenna
is not isolated enough from
each other.
Change the position of Outside and
Inside antennas. Make sure the
Outside antenna is not facing towards
your own roof or at the inside
antenna as this will cause isolation
issue and the signal booster will not
be able to amplify signals at
maximum power.
The Signal Booster works properly.

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.
So in order to protect the Signal Booster from damage, it will automatically
shutdown at this frequency.
2) Uplink Signal coming from the outside antenna to Base Station is too strong and may cause
troubles to carriers network, so the Signal Booster will shutdown at this frequency.

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.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionneravec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention desautres utilisateurs,
il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotroperayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.)
ne dépassepas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2 – (detachable antennas)
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II)has been approved
by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required
antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than
the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de modèle s’il fait
partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne
énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne.
Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste,ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement
interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
RF Radiation Exposure
This equipment complies with RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment
should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
RF exposure will be addressed at time of installation and the use of higher gain antennas require larger separation
distances.
RSS-102 RF Exposure
L’antenne (ou les antennes) doit être installée de façon à maintenir à tout instant une distance minimum de au moins
20 cm entre la source de radiation (l’antenne) et toute personne physique. Cet appareil ne doit pas être installé ou
utilisé en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou émetteur.
