# Booster Package and Antenna Installation

If your DeltaQuad Pro #CARGO comes with the Booster Package you can follow these instructions for installation.

The DeltaQuad booster package will increase the operational range of the DeltaQuad Controller up to 50 km. The package consists of an easy-to-remove panel antenna, an 8-watt ground booster with a power bank, and a 3-watt booster inside the UAV. 

The DeltaQuad Controller will also include the standard antennas for omnidirectional use of up to 30 km.

The following video shows the installation of the booster antenna on the DeltaQuad Controller.

How to install the Booster Antenna on the DeltaQuad Controller.
{% endembed %}

**Step 1** - Make sure the DeltaQuad Controller is turned off!

{% hint style="warning" %}
*NOTE*: Before detaching the omnidirectional antennas, please make sure that your DeltaQuad Controller is turned off!

Having the DeltaQuad Controller powered on without the antennas installed will cause damage to the radio module. This will render your controller unusable.
{% endhint %}

**Step 2** - For the installation, you need (from left to right).

{% hint style="info" %}
*NOTE*: To work properly, the booster antenna needs to be powered with the included power bank.
{% endhint %}

**Step 9** - Connect the cable of the power bank to the top side of the booster.

**Step 10** - Connect the other side of the cable to the power bank and switch it on.

{% hint style="info" %}
*NOTE*: For the disassembly, please follow the steps in reverse order.

Always make sure that the DeltaQuad Controller is turned off when disconnecting the antennas or antenna cables.&#x20;

When detaching the booster antenna, push the levers of the closing mechanism away from the DeltaQuad Controller. By doing so, the booster antenna will slide off the handle by itself.

During this process, hold the booster antenna at all times as the copper-colored SMA cable is still connected to the DeltaQuad Controller. Any strain on this cable and its connectors can damage the hardware.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.deltaquad.com/deltaquad-pro-operations-manual-v2/deltaquad-pro-cargo/booster-package-and-antenna-installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
