phone in exactly the same place and pointing in the same direction for the following steps.
Note the direction of the CEL Panel External Antenna starting position ________________.
4.
Rotate the CEL Panel External Antenna 90 degrees and then record the phone signal bars
______(B).
5.
Continue to rotate the antenna another 90 degrees in the same direction and record the
phone signal bars _________(C).
6.
Again, rotate the antenna another 90 degrees in the same direction and again record the
phone signal bars _________(D).
7.
If you desire to optimize further, then look for the two highest signal bar readings above and
move the antenna between these two points to
fi
nd the highest signal bars reading.
8.
Look for the highest reading above. Set the antenna to that position and tighten the
antenna to the mast of your choosing. We suggest PVC pipe that is at least 1.5” or J-Pole
(part # YX014, not included).
9.
Using a phone operating in the Cellular band, place the cell phone on a non-metal surface
about 6-8 feet from the Base Unit.
10. Turn the signal booster on and wait 30 seconds. Note the number of signal bars displayed
on your cell phone. For best results, you want to place your phone where the phone’s signal
meter displays in the middle of the signal meter range or less so that it can indicate as you
rotate the External Antenna to the optimum direction. If it is reading too high, you may want
to move the phone farther from the Indoor Antenna so that you are able to see the change
when you reorient the External Antenna.
11. Record the number of signal bars ________(A) on your cell phone. Leave the phone in
exactly the same place and pointing in the same direction for the following steps. Note the
direction of the Panel antenna starting position ________________.
12. Rotate the Panel antenna mast 90 degrees and then record the phone signal bars
_________(B).
13. Continue to rotate the antenna mast another 90 degrees in the same direction and record
the phone signal bars _________(C).
14. Again, rotate the antenna mast another 90 degrees in the same direction and again record
the phone signal bars _________(D).
15. If you desire to optimize further, then look for the two highest signal bar readings above and
move the antenna between these two points to
fi
nd the highest signal bars reading.
16. Look for the highest reading above. Set the antenna to that position and tighten the
antenna to the mast.
Before drilling any holes into a wall to run your cable,
make sure you know where existing electrical wiring is
located. Drilling into live electrical wiring could cause an
electrical shock and sever the wire.
