Using AirBooster

This section deals with the day to day use of the AirBooster amplifier after
installation, as well as the care and handling to provide long life. Details on
the use of the 

optional GPS module

 are covered in 

another section

.

Operating the AirBooster RF Amplifier

Enabling of the AirBooster 350 RF amplifier requires only that the power be

connected

. The amplifier should show a lit green LED for 

POWER

indicating that it is available for use. This LED is on whether power reduction
is enabled or not.

As soon as a 

supported device

 is connected to the booster, it will

automatically be detected and the amplifier will begin operation. The ignition
of the vehicle does not need to be on. When a host device is detected, the

STATUS 

indicator LED will light green.

During normal operation the

 STATUS 

indicator will blink intermittently.

The light remains on while the host device is connected and will go off only
during active data transmission.

To ensure that your AirBooster does not transmit in environments where use
of cellular equipment is 

hazardous

, you must disconnect the CDPD device.

mounting location

, there should not be any need

for further attention.
