Attach

 

DC

 

Power

 

Cable

 ‐ 

Attach

 

small

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

12V

 

DC

 

Power

 

Cable

 

to

 

the

 

Amplifier

 

Unit.

 

Insert

 

the

 

remaining

 

end

 

of

 

12V

 

DC

 

Power

 

Cable

 

into

 

a

 

12V

 

(cigarette

 

lighter)

 

Port

 

within

 

vehicle.

 

 

NOTE:

 

To

 

avoid

 

draining

 

battery,

 

when

 

the

 

ignition

 

is

 

off,

 

check

 

that

 

Amplifier

 

is

 

not

 

receiving

 

power

 

with

 

vehicle

 

turned

 

off.

  

The

 

Amplifier’s

 

LED

 

should

 

be

 

off

 

when

 

the

 

vehicle

 

is

 

off.

  

To

 

turn

 

off

 

Amplifier,

 

depress

 

the

 

switch

 

on

 

12V

 

DC

 

CL

 

Adapter.

 

 

Step

  

5.

 

Examine

 

LED

 

light

 

on

 

Amplifier

 ‐ 

The

 

LED

 

light

 

on

 

the

 

Amplifier

 

Unit

 

indicates

 

the

 

unit

 

is

 

powered

 

and

 

the

 

unit’s

 

operating

 

status.

 

Attempt

 

to

 

achieve

 

the

 

optimal

 

signal

 

enhancement

 

when

 

positioning

 

both

 

Antennas

 

before

 

making

 

the

 

Antenna

 

placement

 

permanent.

 

Once

 

powered,

 

the

 

Amplifier

 

LED

 

should

 

be

 

Green.

 

Be

 

sure

 

that

 

all

 

cell

 

phones

 

in

 

the

 

vicinity

 

of

 

the

 

Amplifier

 

are

 

turned

 

off

 

during

 

installation.

 

Attach

 

both

 

Antennas

 

and

 

position

 

them

 

to

 

achieve

 

a

 

Green

 

LED.

  

 

Green

 

LED

 

 

Optimal

 

signal

 

enhancement

  

Red

 

LED

 

 

Poor

 

signal

 

enhancement

  

 

If

 

you

 

are

 

receiving

 

a

 

Red

 

LED

 

even

 

after

 

trying

 

different

 

Antenna

 

positions,

 

try

 

powering

 

the

 

unit

 

off

 

and

 

on

 

again.

 

If

 

the

 

Antennas

 

are

 

connected

 

and

 

too

 

close

 

to

 

each

 

other

 

when

 

the

 

Amplifier

 

Unit

 

is

 

turned

 

on,

 

it

 

will

 

be

 

impossible

 

to

 

achieve

 

a

 

Green

 

LED.

  

 

Step

 

6.

 

Achieve

 

Optimal

 

Enhancement

 ‐ 

Once

 

your

 

LED

 

is

 

Green,

 

you

 

may

 

permanently

 

affix

 

both

 

the

 

Magnetic

 

Mount

 

and

 

Small

 

Antenna.

 

If

 

LED

 

is

 

Red,

 

adjust

 

the

 

position

 

of

 

the

 

Magnetic

 

Mount

 

Antenna

 

or

 

Small

 

Interior

 

Antenna

 

until

 

the

 

LED

 

is

 

Green.

 

 

Step

 

7.

 

Quick

 

System

 

Check

 ‐ 

Put

 

your

 

cell

 

phone

 

antenna

 

directly

 

next

 

to

 

the

 

Small

 

Antenna.

 

See

 

how

 

many

 

signal

 

strength

 

bars

 

you

 

have.

 

Next,

 

turn

 

the

 

system

 

off

 

(either

 

turn

 

vehicle

 

off

 

or

 

press

 

on/off

 

switch).

 

You

 

should

 

notice

 

a

 

decrease

 

in

 

signal

 

bar

 

strength.

 

The

 

exception

 

is

 

if

 

you

 

are

 

in

 

an

 

area

 

where,

 

with

 

the

 

system

 

off,

 

your

 

phone

 

is

 

at

 

full

 

signal

 

strength.

 

Please

 

note

 

when

 

you

 

turn

 

the

 

system

 

on,

 

if

 

your

 

phone

 

is

 

receiving

 

maximum

 

signal

 

strength

 

you

 

will

 

not

 

see

 

a

 

difference.

 

In

 

order

 

for

 

this

 

quick

 

test

 

to

 

work,

 

you

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

test

 

unit

 

in

 

a

 

less

 

than

 

maximum

 

signal

 

strength

 

area.
