The Manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For 
situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, 
especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. 
This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at 
the output of the device.

System is 
powering up. 
Please allow up 
to 30 seconds.

N/A

Flashing

BASE UNIT will 
fl ash GREEN 
once for every 
2 dB less than 
optimal system 
gain. Three  
fl ashes or less 
indicates the  
system will still 
operate properly.

1. 

Unplug the BASE UNIT power supply. 

2. 

Relocate the EXTERNAL ANTENNA to pick up the 
strongest signal from your wireless carrier. 

3. 

Move the EXTERNAL ANTENNA as far away from the 
INDOOR ANTENNA as possible, with at least 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.

BASE UNIT to 
operate properly. 

1. 

Unplug the BASE UNIT power supply. 

2. 

Relocate the EXTERNAL ANTENNA to another spot. 

3. 

If you have a directional antenna re-aim it to reduce 
carrier signal strength.

4. 

Plug the BASE UNIT power supply back in.

5. 

Wait 30 secs. for the BASE UNIT to power cycle on.

Solution #3
