3.4 Look for the best location and direction of outdoor antenna
After the tower is located, please pick up outdoor antenna and point to the tower and adjust
its direction precisely
Watch the signal gauge of Signal Supervisor app as it will show the booster’s best output
power when you get the strongest outside signal.
Target: Try to get the highest possible output power for each band and try to make 2-3 gauges
turn green.
1) You can either look at the signal meter value, 10dBm is the best
2) Or you can look at the signal description, Super is the best
Notes: The output power level in the signal meter is the level for the indoor antenna.
• Keep in mind that it is normal for the output values may vary dynamically between 1-3 dB
• To optimize the signal for one carrier, point the outdoor antenna towards the closest cell phone
tower designated to that carrier
• To optimize the signal for more than one carrier, point the outdoor antenna between multiple
towers
• Make sure to slowly turn the antenna while taking the readings so the booster has time to
adjust the reading
• Test and install the antenna at the same height where power outputs and gain values reach
the booster‘s maximum capacity
• If you can’t get a good output power, which is even below poor, most probably the install
will fail. Either please find a new place to find good signal again, or drop the install.
Professional Tips
Fix the outdoor antenna direction when you get the best output power.
