STEP 2. Install the Outside Antenna
The outside antenna is shaped like a triangle. This antenna must be mounted as high as possible on the
exterior of the house or office, but never higher than 10m above the ground. Mount the outside antenna on
the side of the house where you detected the strongest cell phone signal. The point of the antenna triangle
should be
pointed towards the location of the strongest cell phone signal (which should also be the direction
of the closest cell tower) and away
from the expected placement of the inside antenna.
Separation Between Outside Antenna and Inside Antenna
For the best performance, the outside antenna and the inside antenna should be a minimum
distance of 20 ft. apart from each other. A bigger separation between outside antenna and
inside antenna will provide a stronger signal and better coverage.
Step 6. Install the Signal Booster
Choose a location for the signal booster, preferably away from excessive heat, direct sunlight,
moisture and free from high temperatures. Do not place the signal booster in an air-tight
enclosure. Attic installations may expose the booster to high heat.
