FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY ARE THE LED LIGHTS TURNING ORANGE, RED OR SHUTTING OFF?
There are certain cases where your system could be experiencing oscillation. This can be attributed to either
the quality of your input signal or having your signal (outdoor) antenna and distribution (indoor) antenna too
close together. Please review the following guidelines to help resolve this issue:
1. Adjust the direction of the signal (outdoor) antenna. If the system is receiving a very high input signal, you
can point your signal (outdoor) antenna away from the cellular tower to reduce the strength of the input
signal and therefore, reduce the oscillation. Alternatively if your system is receiving a very poor quality signal
(weak and unusable signal), you can point your signal (outdoor) antenna more directly towards the cellular
tower to increase the strength of the input signal. (sometimes this may require completely repositioning the
antenna to a location where you can achieve a line of site to the tower)
2. Increase the separation between the signal (outdoor) antenna and the distribution (indoor) antenna. This
can be achieved by increasing the distance between the two antennas or by placing barriers between them,
such as moving the distribution (indoor) antenna to an adjacent room where there would be an additional
wall separating them from the signal (outdoor) antenna.
3. Manual Gain Control. Adjust the gain with the manual gain control function using the dip switches on the
side of the booster. See page 19 for more details
I INSTALLED THE BOOSTER AND MY SIGNAL STRENGTH IS STILL WEAK?
In order to correct a weak signal; essentially you have the options of:
• Adjust the aim of the signal (outdoor) antenna or replace it with a higher gain antenna.
• Move the distribution (indoor) antenna
• Increase the number of distribution (indoor) antennas
• Reducing the attenuation values you chose when setting the manual gain control
I CANNOT MAINTAIN CALLS, MY SIGNAL STRENGTH FLUCTUATES
If you nd the booster is working but drops calls or delivers uctuating signal levels, the most likely cause is
oscillation between the signal and distribution antenna(s).
Determine the status of the cellular booster LED alarms. if so there is insufcient isolation between antennas.
you can either increase the distance between antennas or place barriers between them to attenuate the
signals or adjust the MGC settings.
