CHECK THE BOOSTER LED ALARM LIGHTS

Your cellular booster comes equipped with electronic sensors designed to 
identify cellular signal overload or oscillation which can hinder signal- boosting 
performance. Your cellular booster is specially designed to automatically 
decrease gain to compensate for these circumstances. The device also has a 
feature to automatically shut down in case of excessive oscillation.

Improper equipment installation and unusable signal quality can cause 

oscillation, this is why it is important to fully understand the LED alarm lights on 

your booster, as they will help you identify and solve any potential issues.

Your booster is equipped with LED alarm lights to let you know the status of 

each frequency band and the SMART function. They are located above the LCD 
interface.

Green

Functioning Properly

*If you still have small 

coverage, this is probably 

due to a weak input signal

Flashing Green

Slight Oscillation

Your booster will 

automatically reduce the 

gain up to 10dBm

Flashing Orange

Medium Oscillation

Your booster will 

automatically reduce the 

gain up to 20dBm

Flashing Red

Strong Oscillation

Your booster will 

automatically reduce the 

gain up to 30dBm and will 

shut off after 5 seconds
