Flashing 
GREEN 

There is an issue with the 
installation. BASE UNIT will flash 
GREEN once for every 2 dB less 
than optimal signal gain. 
Coverage decreases more with 
each flash. 

1.

 

Unplug the BASE UNIT power supply. 

2.

 

Relocate the EXTERNAL ANTENNA to 

pick up the strongest signal from 
your wireless carrier. 

3.

 

Increase the height difference between 

the EXTERNAL ANTENNA and 
INDOOR ANTENNA as much as 
possible. The antennas require a 
minimum 15 ft. of vertical separation 
(height difference). 

4.

 

Plug the BASE UNIT power supply 

back in. 

5.

 

Wait 30 secs. for the BASE UNIT to 

power cycle on.
