Configuration & Testing
When the booster is powered on:
• The green Power light (3) should illuminate.
• The red Warning lights (1, 2, 4, 5) should remain OFF. If one or more Warning lights illuminates,
power off the booster immediately.
Each bank of DIP switches contains five switches.
• Moving a switch down (away from the indicator lights) turns that switch OFF and increases booster
gain for the selected channel.
• Moving a switch up (toward the indicator lights) turns that switch ON and
decreases booster gain for the selected channel.
From left to right, the DIP switches in each bank provide 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16
dB of attenuation (reduced amplification). These switches are cumulative,
meaning that the total amount of attenuation for a channel is equal to the
combined dB of all ON DIP switches in the corresponding bank. For
example:
• Turning all switches OFF = 0dB attenuation (booster is at full gain).
• Turning ON Switch #1 in a bank = 1dB attenuation (booster maximum gain
is reduced by 1dB).
• Turning ON Switches #1, 3, and 5 in a bank =1+4+16dB attenuation = 21dB attenuation. For
example, in a 68dB booster, this means that the selected channel would be reduced to 47dB (68db-
21db).
• Turning ON all switches in a bank = 1+2+4+8+16dB attenuation = 31dB attenuation. For example,
in a 68dB booster, that means that the selected channel would be reduced to 37dB (68dB-31dB).
5.2 - Initial Configuration
By default, your booster ships with all DIP switches turned OFF to provide maximum gain in all chan-
nels. This should always be your starting point whenever installing or reinstalling the booster.
5.3 - Powering on the Booster
To power on the booster:
1. Make sure that exterior and interior antenna cables are snugly connected to the proper ports on
the booster.
