Package Contents BEFORE INSTALLATION 1. Prior to securing the location of any booster parts, a “soft install” is recommended as adjustments may be needed to optimize performance. 2. Note that the outside antenna can be mounted to an exterior surface or a 1-2” diameter pole. A mounting pole is available separately. PVC piping from your local hardware can also be used. 3. Your planned location for the booster (central to where signal is needed) should be near an existing electrical outlet. 4.
Before Installation INSTALLATION Step 1. F ind the Area With the Strongest Signal Using your phone, identify the outside location with the strongest signal for placement of your outside antenna. Generally, this is found above the roofline on the side facing your nearest cell tower and as high as possible – where the antenna can ‘see’ your cell tower. To find the location of your carrier’s closest cell tower, go to www.antennasearch.com.
Installation Step 2. Install the Outside Antenna After identifying the area of strongest signal, choose the surface where you will mount the outside antenna. Using the provided hardware, mount the outside antenna at the highest possible elevation, allowing a minimum separation of 25 feet from the planned location of the booster. Do not collocate antennas or operate the outdoor antenna with any other antenna or signal booster.
Installation Step 3. Place the Booster Place the booster in a central location where signal is needed and at least 25 ft. from the outdoor antenna location. When placing the booster, note that further separation between the booster and outside antenna will increase booster performance. Connect the open end of the RG6 cable from the outside antenna to the booster and tighten connection. Please note that the performance and range of your booster depends on three factors: 1.
Installation IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE • • • Identify a location outside that receives a stronger signal and move the outside antenna to that location (higher is usually better). Increase the distance between the booster and outside antenna. Optimize the angle of your outside antenna by testing at small incremental rotations. • See more tips and tricks or contact us at www.SureCall.
LED Indicators LED INDICATORS NOTE: Normal operation is indicated by LEDs that are OFF -or- YELLOW Flashing. Only the presence of RED LEDs indicate potential need for adjustments. Note that power cycling the booster after each adjustment may be necessary. Position Condition Indication Left or Right OFF The booster is operating normally Left Yellow Flashing Yellow Flashing Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is self-adjusting. This is part of normal operation.
