Installing the booster antenna
Installation requirements
The booster antenna works best when it has a line-of-sight view of the
basestation. However, you do not have to manually point it at a basestation.
Install the booster antenna at the highest point available. Examples of optimal
locations include the apex of a roof, the top of a chimney, or a tall pole mounted
on a chimney.
The installation must meet the following requirements:

The booster antenna must not be used indoors. The booster antenna must
be installed on an outdoor permanent structure such as a roof or an external
wall.

All four sides of the booster antenna must be unobstructed. Leave a clear
zone of at least 12 inches around the antenna. Because of this requirement
an under-the-eaves installation is usually not possible.

Make sure the installed height of the booster antenna is at least 3 m (10 feet)
to ensure that it is safely out of reach. For example, if the booster antenna is
installed on the side of a building, it should be at least 3 m (10 feet) off the
ground to maintain a safe distance from both children and adults. If installed
on a rooftop that is accessible, the antenna must be installed 3 m (10 feet)
above the rooftop.
WARNING:
Do not install the booster antenna near power lines. You can be
killed if the booster antenna comes into contact with electric power lines.
 Do not contact overhead power lines.
 Check the distance to any nearby power lines before starting installation. Stay
at least 6 m (20 feet) away from all power lines.
 If any part of the booster antenna or mast assembly comes into contact with a
power line, call your local power company. Do not try to remove it yourself.
They will remove it safely.
