BEFORE INSTALLATION
1. Prior to securing the location of any booster parts, a “soft install” is recommended as adjustments may be
needed to optimize performance.
2. Ensure adequate separation between the planned locations of the inside and outside antenna – at least 25
ft (see diagram
”Antenna Separation” on page 7
3. For kits that use directional antennas (outside or inside), the directional antenna(s) should be oriented in a
way that they do not “face” the other antenna (see “Aiming
Directional Antennas”
Diagram).
4. Ensure sufficient cable length between the outside antenna location and booster location. The length of the
provided cable is 50 ft.
Installation Overview
Step 1. Find the outside area with the strongest signal.
Step 2. Install the outside antenna identified in step 1.
Step 3. Install the Inside antenna and booster.
Step 4. Connect power source and turn on.
Step 5. Configure gain settings if needed.
INSTALLATION
Step 1. Find the Area With the Strongest Signal
Using your phone, identify the outside location with the strongest signal for placement of your outside antenna.
Generally, this is found above the roofline on the side facing your nearest cell tower and as high as possible
– where the antenna can ‘see’ your cell tower. To find the location of your carrier’s closest cell tower, go to
www.antennasearch.com.
The coverage area that the booster provides is directly related to the strength of incoming signal received
by the outdoor antenna. Mounting the outside antenna where the signal is the strongest will provide the best
results.
Please note,
if signal is extremely weak where the outside antenna is installed, indoor coverage will be limited.
Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to confirm signal coverage is the ability to place
and hold a call.
