Warning: Lightning protection is recommended for all installations (sold
separately #859902). Take extreme care to ensure that neither
you nor the antenna comes near any electric power lines.
Selecting a Direction for the Outside Antenna
Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside Antenna.
Use a cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower
(see below for more information). To get the strongest signal possible, it is
very important to set up your Outside Antenna properly. The Inside and the
Outside Antenna must be mounted in such a way that they are able to pick
up the best possible cell signal on the outside of the building and provide the
best possible signal on the inside of the building. Mount the Outside Antenna
as high as possible facing the cell tower in an area with the best possible
signal coverage.
Note: Never point the front of a Directional Antenna toward the Inside
Antenna. See Figures 1 & 2 on page 10.
Installing Lightning Protection
(sold separately)
Install the Lightning Surge
Protector (LSP) close to the Signal
Booster. Attach the cable from
the Outside Antenna to the surge
protector, using a short length of low
loss cable; attach one end to the
LSP and the other to the Outside
Antenna connector on the Signal
Booster. Ensure the LSP is properly
grounded (ground wire not included).

Finding the Strongest Signal
When installing your Signal Booster’s Outside Antenna, aiming it towards
the best signal source from you service provider is important. The best way
of getting the strongest signal is to have one person on the roof to rotate
the Outside Antenna, which is connected to the Signal Booster. Turning the
Outside Antenna about 45 degrees at a time, while the second person is
watching the signal strength on the phone inside the building. This allows
you to read the signal strength from the cell tower. It is preferable to have
