Step 2. Using the CM240-M

Use the CM240-M cable FME connector to connect the outside antenna to the 

boost connector marked OUTSIDE (see page 3).

Make sure to not coil additional coax cable that might be left over from installa-

tion. Hand tighten the connection.

Before installing Indoor Antenna check the table below for optimum 

coverage.

Step 3. Connect the Interior Antenna

Option 1: Standard Wireless Usage (Recommended)
The supplied 248W-M full-band antenna is a compact directional antenna de-

signed to cover 2G, 3G, 4G and WLAN systems for Cellular, PCS, AWS and LTE 

frequencies. It’s a high-gain indoor antenna suited for places where the signal 

needs to be broadcast over a wide area. This interior antenna transmits and 

receives signals to cell phones.

1.  Choose location for mounting antenna on vertical surface. Ideal height from 

the cabin floor (should be approximate height of cell phone users).

Note: As you can see from the table above, acquiring the recommended inside and 

outside antenna separation optimizes coverage significantly. Panel antenna can be 

vertically installed 6 ft. under outside antenna with the booster at full dB gain.  Inside 

panel antenna should face away from outside antenna. If panel antenna faces outside 

antenna, the booster will oscillate and go into Auto Shutdown.

Required Between 
Outside and Inside Antenna

antenna separation

 50dB    8-10 ft. separation

 47dB    5-7 ft. separation

 44dB    3-4 ft. separation

 40dB    1-2 ft. separation

Adjust dB Gain according to table below if you cannot achieve maximum separation.
