HOW IT WORKS

The cellular booster provides reliable two-way cellular coverage by improving signal 
strength in homes, buildings, offices, and other areas where cellular reception is weak or 
unreliable.

The system amplifies the signal from the nearest cellular tower and retransmits at a higher 
power level within a local area.

This manual provides simple installation instructions that will have your cellular booster kit 
running in record time.
