SIGNALBOOST™ DT Installation Instructions

Installing the Amplifi er Unit

Desk or Table Mount

1.  Attach the on-board antenna by screwing it 

onto the threaded connector on the amplifi er.  
Position the antenna vertically by rotating it on 
its base (see Figure 8).  Operating the amplifi er 
with the on-board antenna in a position other 
than vertical will reduce its performance.

2.  Place the amplifi er on a desk, table or similar 

surface where you have routed the coax cable.

3.  Attach the cable to the connector on the 

amplifi er.

Wall Mount

1.  Attach the on-board antenna by screwing it 

onto the threaded connector on the amplifi er 
(see Figure 8).

2.  Position the triangular wall-mount bracket at the 

desired spot on the wall, at least 5 feet up from 
the fl oor and away from any other amplifi er or 
antenna.

3.  Using the bracket as a template, mark the 

locations for the screws using a pencil.

4.  Drill the holes, using a 3/16-inch drill bit, and 

insert the screw anchors.  

Note:

 if you are not 

using the wall-mount hardware in Packet B 
for the cradle antenna, you can use it for the 
amplifi er.  Otherwise, you will need to purchase 
three screws, washers and anchors.

5.  Align the triangular bracket with the screw 

anchors (Figure 9) and attach it with screws 
and washers.  Tighten the screws with a 
Phillips-head screwdriver.

6.  Slide the amplifi er onto the bracket.  Position 

the antenna vertically for best performance 
(see Figure 10).  Operating the amplifi er with 
the on-board antenna in a position other than 
vertical will reduce its performance.

7.  Attach the cable to the connector on the 

amplifi er.

Warning: 

The on-board antenna must have a separation 

distance from all persons that is at least 8 inches.

!

Warning: 

Connecting the amplifi er 

directly to the cell phone with use of an 
adapter will damage the cell phone.
