Step 4. Install the Signal Booster
1. Select a location close to a working AC outlet. Do not expose the signal
booster to excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture, and airtight enclosures.
2. If you’d like to mount the booster to a wall, mark location of screw tabs on
the wall in the desired location
3. Use supplied screws or appropriate screws for surface of mounting location
and drill through screw tab holes on booster.
4. Ensure that the outside antenna cable is connected to the signal booster
connector marked OUTSIDE. Hand-tighten the connection.
5. Ensure that the inside antenna cable is connected to the signal booster
connector marked INSIDE. Hand-tighten the connection.
6. Connect the AC power cord to the signal booster.
7. Connect the plug on the other end of the 110V AC power outlet.
8. Turn the booster’s power switch on.
• The signal booster turns on automatically
• The Power LED lights up green to show that the signal booster is ready
to use.
• The Alert LEDs flash red and yellow intermittently on each band,
indicating that the band is activated.
DIP Switches and Lights
The Phantom booster has the following indicators and controls:
• PCS Uplink Warning light DIP switches. These DIP switches control the
PCS communications with the cellular tower.
• PCS Downlink Warning light DIP switches. These DIP switches control
the PCS amplification within the building.
• Power Light: This light should be illuminated or blinking green at all times
while the booster’s power is on.
• Cellular Uplink Warning light DIP switches. These DIP switches control
the cellular communications with the cellular tower.
• Cellular Downlink Warning light DIP switches. These DIP switches control
the cellular amplification within the building.
Note: While the watercraft is in port, the alert light may light up red. This means
that the signal coming into the booster is too strong and it may cause the booster to
shut down. As you move out to sea this will no longer be a problem.
Note: If the Power LED does not turn ON or the Alert LEDs continue to flash, see
Troubleshooting on page 12-13. This booster is rated for 19V AV input voltage. DO
NOT use the booster with a higher voltage power supply. This can damage the
booster and/or cause personal injury and void your warranty.
