Installation Overview
1. Select a location with the strongest signal on the roof of the
building to install the Outdoor Antenna. Make sure the antenna
is pointed directly at the desired cellular tower and there are no
obstructions that could block the signal. You should also
consider attaching a grounded lightning protector between the
outdoor antenna and the Signal booster.
2
Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is in a
secure indoor location near a grounded AC power source and
well ventilated away from excessive heat, moisture, and direct
sunlight.
3
Select a location(s) for the Indoor Antenna(s), being sure to
take isolation distance requirements into account. In general,
long narrow spaces will benefit most from directional panel
antennas while more square spaces will benefit more from
omnidirectional dome antennas.

Proper antenna distance is essential to prevent signal
oscillation (feedback) that can interfere with the cellular tower
and as a precaution the amplifier will shut off in the affected
band. Distance is measured in a straight line from the outdoor
antenna to the closest indoor antenna. The closest allowable
distance depends on several factors such as booster gain
level, cable and splitter loss and building wall materials.
