Installation Instructions
Model Number: B800-1900-1P
We recommend that individuals not accustomed to the installation of mobile electronics
seek the services of a professional installer
Step 1. Position Amplifier Unit - Position Amplifier Unit within interior of vehicle and
within a 3-4 ft. reach of cigarette lighter. Choose a location where it rests flat and is not a
hazard to driver (i.e. under seat).
Step 2. Attach DC Power Cable - Attach one end of the adapter to the cigarette lighter
plug within vehicle. Attach remaining end of DC power cord to Amplifier Unit.
NOTE: To avoid draining battery, check that amplifier is not receiving power with
vehicle turned off.
Step 3. Examine LED light on Amplifier - The LED light on the Amplifier Unit indicates
the level of signal enhancement. Attempt to achieve the optimal signal enhancement when
positioning Antennas before making the Antenna placement permanent. Before any Antenna
is connected to the Amplifier Unit, the Amplifier Unit must be powered on. The LED should
be Green. Be sure that all cell phones in the vicinity of the amplifier are turned off during
installation. Attach both Antennas and position them to achieve a Green LED.
Green LED – Optimal signal enhancement
Yellow LED – Good signal enhancement
Red LED – Poor signal enhancement
If you are receiving a Red LED even after trying different Antenna positions, try
unplugging both Antennas and turn the power off and on again before plugging in the
Antennas. If the Antennas are connected and too close to each other when the Amplifier
Unit is turned on, it will be impossible to achieve a Green LED until you do the preceding.
IMPORTANT: Unit must first be turned on without Antennas connected for system
calibration. Ensure that the LED light on the Amplifier Unit is Green before
connecting Antennas. Amplifier Unit must remain on while connecting Antennas.
Step 4. Position Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna - Position Exterior Magnetic
Mount Antenna between trunk and rear window, or as far back as possible, making sure
magnet is secured to metal surface. Connect Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna to
Amplifier Unit.
NOTE: Cord will run from exterior to interior of vehicle. Cord is designed to
withstand pressure when closed in a door. Connections to Amplifier Unit are
specific to the Antennas.
