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. Ensure adequate separation between the planned locations of the inside and outside antenna – at least 25 ft (see

diagram ”Antenna Separation” on page 7).

3. For kits that use directional antennas (outside or inside), the directional antenna(s) should be

oriented in a way that they do not “face” the other antenna (see “Aiming Directional Antennas”

Diagram).

4. Ensure sufcient cable length between the outside antenna location and booster location. The

length of the provided cable is 50 ft.

Installation Overview

Step 1. Find the outside area with the strongest signal.

Step 2. Install the outside antenna identied in step 1.

Step 3. Install the Inside antenna and booster.

Step 4. Connect power source and turn on.

INSTALLATION

Step 1. Find 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 rooine on the side facing your nearest cell tower and as high as possible – where the antenna can ‘see’

your cell tower. To nd the location of your carrier’s closest cell tower, go to www.antennasearch.com.

The coverage area that the booster provides is directly related to the strength of incoming signal received by the outdoor

antenna. Mounting the outside antenna where the signal is the strongest will provide the best results.

Please note, if signal is extremely weak where the outside antenna is installed, indoor coverage will be limited. Bars are not

always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to conrm signal coverage is the ability to place and hold a call.

Putting your phone in Field Test mode will also indicate what level of decibels (dB) your phone is currently receiving. Decibels

are measured in the negatives, and a score closer to zero indicates you have a better signal. A signal of -120 dB indicates

you have no service, while a score of about -50 dB means you have excellent signal strength
