to create a Cell Zone™.
3. Attach the coax cable to the Signal Antenna.
4. Run the coax cable from the Signal Antenna through the window to
the Base Unit using a window entry kit (optional).
5. Attach the Antenna to the Base Unit and position the antenna
vertically.
6. Set the Base Unit on a furniture piece.

Best Performance
: Attic/Outdoor Installation
The following instructions are recommended for the best reception.
Warning:
Avoid placing antenna near metal such as
wiring, A/C ducts, truss plates, etc.
When attaching the cable to the antenna, run
the cable straight down from the antenna.
Avoid draping the coax near the antenna.
Attic Installation
Once you have confirmed that you have a cell phone signal either outside your
home or inside you’re attic, you are ready to install the Signal Antenna using
the supplied mounting brackets, Signal Antenna, and coaxial cable.
1. Identify the best location around your home with the strongest
signal for attachment of the antenna mounting bracket (the
strongest signal is typically found on the roof). Install the Signal
Antenna at the highest possible point in your area. Avoid
placing the antenna within 3 feet (1 meter) of metal objects
(pipes, metal siding, A/C unit, etc.)
2. Attach the mounting bracket so that when the Signal Antenna is
attached, it will be positioned vertically.
3. Mount the Signal Antenna to the mounting bracket, making sure
that the antenna is positioned vertically.
