STEP 1. Find the Strongest Signal
Note The stronger signal you receive from the base station, the better coverage you will have
inside your house/office.
-70dBm
If you have -70dBm outside signal, then you will have an excellent signal inside your house or office.
-90dBm
If you have -90dBm outside signal, then you will have a good signal inside your house & office.

LED Indicators
Flashing Green
After the Signal Booster is powered on, flashing green will last for 20 seconds.
It means that the Signal Booster is being set up for optimal performance.
The Signal Booster will need a few minutes to adapt to the network environment and start boosting
the signal at the highest power.
The Signal Booster provides a real-time self-diagnosis, so in case of flashing or solid red, refer to the
Troubleshooting instructions on the next page.
Solid Green
This indicates that the Signal Booster has been installed and works properly.
Solid Orange
If one or more LEDs are solid orange, it means that the input signal from the nearby cell tower is between
-25dBm and -30dBm (very strong). In this event, we recommend that you reposition the outside antenna
to point in a different direction to weaken the signal. If the rest of the LEDs are green and you have a
strong signal and fast data speeds on your cell phone, then troubleshooting is not needed.
Flashing & Solid Red
If one or more of the LEDs is flashing or solid red, this indicates that the input signal from the nearby
cell tower is too strong.
After flashing red for 10 seconds the solid red will appear.
Signal Booster will stop amplifying signals of the frequency with a solid red indicator automatically
to prevent the Booster from any damage.
If the rest of LEDs are green and you have a strong signal and fast data speeds on your cell phone or
tablet, then troubleshooting is not needed.
