or feedback and reduces the
effectiveness of the Connect 3G.
We recommend you install the Lightning
Surge Protector
(859992)
. Attach the
cable from the Outside Omni Antenna to
the surge protector and ground the surge
protector. The LSP is sold separately (refer
to page 11 for more info.
Quick Install
NOTE: Create a “soft” install first by testing
components in your proposed locations
before securing them with hardware.
1.
Select a location on the roof of the
building to install the Outside Antenna.
Make sure the antenna is clear of
obstructions that could block the signal
from the nearest cellular tower.
2.
Select a location to install the Signal
Booster that is well ventilated and
away from excessive heat, moisture,
and direct sunlight.
3.
Select a location for the Inside
Antenna that is in the center of the
area where the signal needs to be
amplified and a minimum of 20 vertical
feet or 50 horizontal feet from the
Outside Antenna.
4.
Run the coax cable from the Outside
Antenna to the Signal Booster and
attach it to the connector labeled
“Outside Antenna.” Connect
another coax cable to the connector
labeled “Inside Antenna” and run it
to the Inside Antenna. NOTE: Be
careful not to bend the center pins
on the connectors when securing
connections.
5.
Once you have ensured all
connections are tight, connect the
Signal Booster to a surge protected
power strip with at least a 1000 Joule
rating to protect your equipment from
power surges and lightning str kes
(refer to page 11 for information on
lightning protection).
6.
If your Connect 3G is working
correctly, the lights will be green. If
the lights are orange or red, see the
“Troubleshooting” section starting on
page 7.
Outside Antenna Installation
1.
Select a location on the roof or an
outside wall where the Outside
Antenna can be mounted without
obstruction (at least three feet of
clearance in all directions) and with at
least 20 feet of vertical or 50 feet of
horizontal separation from the Internal
Antenna.
2.
After connecting the coax cable to the
antenna, run it underneath the down side
of your roof’s flashing if mounted on the
roof. Tip: Often you can follow the route
used by satellite TV cables. If you attach
the Outside Antenna to a wall, run the
cable along the outside of the wall to the
area where you want the cable to appear
on the inside of the building, then drill a
hole through the wall where the cable will
enter the building. Caution: Before drilling
holes for the cable, be sure there are no
electrical outlets, wiring, or sewer or water
pipes you could puncture or sever.
3.
Seal any holes with silicone, cable
bushings or other waterproof sealant.
