Installation Instructions
Model Number: B800-1900-1F
We recommend that individuals not accustomed to the installation of mobile electronics
seek the services of a professional installer.
Step 1. Install Amplifier Unit - Install Amplifier Unit within trunk or within the
interior of vehicle where the unit rests flat and is not a hazard to the driver.
Step 2. Install DC Power Cable - Attach one end of DC Power Cable to a switched
DC power source (using terminal splices provided) that turns on and off with the
vehicle’s ignition switch (i.e. radio power). Attach Red wire to a switched 12V source.
Attach Black wire to ground. Attach remaining end of DC Power Cord to Amplifier Unit.
Step 3. Examine LED light on Amplifier Unit - 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 perma-
nent. Before any antenna is connected to the Amplifier, the 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 the
Antennas in. 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 Rear Antenna (wing-shaped) - Position Rear Antenna
(wing-shaped) within interior of vehicle on rear window on passenger side. Avoid
contact with any metallic materials including window heating coils. Do not use
adhesive backing to permanently affix antenna until Step 6. Use household tape to
temporarily hold antenna in place while finding the optimum position. Connect Rear
Antenna (wing-shaped) to Amplifier Unit.
