YX500-CEL Installation Guide
Note:
The Signal light may flash green indicating that a call is in progress and
the YX500-CEL is boosting your signal. In some cases, it may only
flash at the beginning of the call.
If the Signal light displays either a solid or flashing red move your
phone away from the Base Unit and see the troubleshooting section.
Improving Your
Coverage Area
Now that everything is connected and the Base Unit is plugged in, you should
walk throughout the room and see that you are able to reliably place calls.
Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, building
construction, and general installation care). Coverage in adjoining rooms (next
to, above, or below) will be reduced due to the walls or the ceiling/floor.
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
1) Move the Base Unit and/or bend the antenna 90 degrees
2) Move the Signal Antenna to a higher location in your attic or outside
3) Purchase a Signal Antenna Upgrade (see Page 2)
4) Purchase a Base Unit Antenna Upgrade (see Page 2).
Important Note on Using Signal Bars to Determine Coverage Area
Cell phone signal bars are approximate and very coarse. The number of bars
can fluctuate widely, depending on the exact location of the phone, hand
positioning, angle of the phone, weather, etc. Most cell phone signal meters
update every 6 to 10 seconds. An increase of only one bar typically indicates
a 4x to 10x signal increase.
THE BEST INDICATOR OF COVERAGE AREA IS YOUR ABILITY TO
RELIABLY PLACE AND RECEIVE CALLS.
