TROUBLESHOOTING

 

 

 

I

 

get

 

a

 

Red

 

LED

 

on

 

the

 

Amplifier

 

 

 

If

 

you

 

are

 

receiving

 

a

 

Red

 

LED

 

even

 

after

 

trying

 

different

 

Antenna

 

positions,

 

turn

 

the

 

power

 

off

 

and

 

on

 

again.

 

If

 

the

 

Antennas

 

are

 

connected

 

and

 

too

 

close

 

to

 

each

 

other

 

when

 

the

 

Amplifier

 

is

 

turned

 

on,

 

it

 

will

 

be

 

impossible

 

to

 

achieve

 

a

 

Green

 

LED.

 

 

If

 

the

 

LED

 

is

 

not

 

lighted

 

Make

 

sure

 

there

 

is

 

power

 

being

 

supplied

 

to

 

the

 

Unit.

  

Ensure

 

the

 

12V

 

DC

 

CL

 

Adapter

 

switch

 

is

 

in

 

the

 

ON

 

position.

 

  

i.

 

Check

 

and

 

see

 

that

 

the

 

Red

 

LED

 

on

 

the

 

Amplifier

 

is

 

ON.

 

If

 

not,

 

there

 

is

 

no

 

power

 

at

 

the

 

plug.

   

 

ii.

 

Disconnect

 

the

 

power

 

at

 

the

 

Unit

 

and

 

reconnect.

  

Flip

 

the

 

ON/OFF

 

switch

 

on

 

the

 

12V

 

DC

 

CL

 

Adapter.

 

iii.

 

Make

 

sure

 

the

 

connector

 

is

 

properly

 

connected

 

to

 

the

 

Amplifier

 

Unit.

  

 
 

I

 

still

 

can’t

 

make

 

or

 

receive

 

a

 

call

 

on

 

my

 

cell

 

phone.

  

I’m

 

not

 

getting

 

any

 

signal

 

 

 

A

 

cellular

 

signal

 

is

 

still

 

required

 

outside

 

the

 

vehicle

 

for

 

the

 

Amplifier

 

Unit

 

to

 

work.

 

This

 

cannot

 

generate

 

a

 

cellular

 

signal

 

when

 

none

 

exists.

 

This

 

can

 

only

 

amplify

 

an

 

existing

 

signal.

  

 
 

I

 

dropped

 

a

 

call

 

 

 

There

 

are

 

many

 

factors

 

which

 

can

 

affect

 

cellular

 

calls,

 

for

 

example,

 

if

 

the

 

cellular

 

signal

 

becomes

 

so

 

weak

 

that

 

it

 

cannot

 

be

 

amplified,

 

the

 

call

 

will

 

be

 

dropped.

  

 
 

The

 

LED

 

stays

 

on

 

even

 

after

 

I

 

turn

 

the

 

car

 

off

 

 

 

When

 

using

 

a

 

vehicle’s

 

12V

 

Port,

 

some

 

vehicles

 

may

 

still

 

provide

 

power

 

with

 

the

 

ignition

 

off.

 

In

 

this

 

case,

 

the

 

12V

 

DC

 

CL

 

Adapter’s

 

Switch

 

must

 

be

 

in

 

the

 

OFF

 

position

 

or

 

taken

 

out

 

of

 

the

 

12V

 

Port

 

to

 

prevent

 

the

 

car

 

battery

 

from

 

being

 

drained.
