Important Note on Using Signal Bars to Determine
Coverage Area
Cell phone signal bars are approximate and very coarse. The
number of bars can fluctuate widely, depending on the exact
location of the phone, hand positioning, angle of the phone,
weather, etc. Most cell phone signal meters update every 6 to
10 seconds. An increase of only one bar typically indicates a
4x to 10x signal increase.
THE BEST INDICATOR OF COVERAGE AREA IS YOUR
ABILITY TO RELIABLY PLACE AND RECEIVE CALLS.
Improving Your Coverage Area
With everything connected and the Base Unit plugged in, you should walk
throughout the room and see that you are able to reliably place calls.
Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, building
construction, and general installation care. Coverage in adjoining rooms (next
to, above, or below) will be reduced due to the walls or the ceiling/floor.
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
1) Move the Base Unit and/or adjust the angle of the Base Unit antenna.
2) Move the Signal Antenna to a higher location in your attic or outside
3) Purchase a Signal Antenna Upgrade (see Page 4)
4) Purchase a Base Unit Antenna Upgrade (see Page 4).
