Installing Your Hardware
Step 2. Install the Outside Antenna
1. Outside Omni antennas receive and send signals in a 360º radius. Yagi or directional
antennas work best when pointed in the direction of your cell phone carrier’s cell tower.
Mount the outside antenna as high as possible. If you are installing a Yagi antenna set it
up facing the cell tower in the area where you located the best signal source (see step 1
on the previous page).
2. Make sure that the mounting area has at least a 12” radius clear of obstructions and
other radiating elements.
3. If the mounting area is prone to weak cellular signals or if the density of the roof and ceil-
ing partially block the signal, the booster will operate at its default setting of 65 dB gain,
be sure to place the outside antenna at least 75 feet from the inside antenna for best
performance.
4. Do not co-locate antennas or operate the outside antenna with any other antenna or
signal boosters.
5. Run the SC-400 cable from the outside antenna to the signal booster. Hand tighten the
connection.
