6. LED Diagnostics
Once the amplifier is installed properly and power is applied, the LEDs will
both turn on followed by the green LED flashing. The green LED will flash
while the amplifier increases its gain to the optimum level. The red LED
may also flash during this stage while the gain (power) is properly set on
the amplifier. When power control is established, the green LED will remain
constantly on. You may see the green and red LEDs flash back and forth, THIS
IS NORMAL. In areas where the cellular network is adequate, the amplifier
will maintain a maximum power level acceptable for normal operation and
prevent overloading the wireless phone, as well as keeping RF signal levels at
a minimum for a healthy environment. If the red LED is constantly on and the
green LED is off, the amplifier has detected a fault. The amplifier will shut
down automatically and restart. If the fault persists, reposition the antenna
until normal operation is achieved. - Once normal operation is established,
you may permanently mount the antennas in the locations you chose in the
prior steps.
7. Diagnostic LED Definitions
1. Solid Green and Red – LED test, the unit is initializing
2. Solid Green – Normal operation
3. Flashing Green – Normal operation, increasing gain setting
4. Solid Green and Flashing Red
– Normal operation, decreasing gain setting
5. Solid Red and No Green
– Fault detected (Unit will shut down until power is cycled.)
