Find the Strongest Cellular Signal
Before you install your Connect 3G signal
booster, you must determine the location of
the best available cellular signal. This will
affect the location of your Outside Antenna
and will help you get the best performance
from your Connect 3G. You can find the
strongest signal outside your building,
typically at the highest point available, using
any of the following methods:
1.
Best method
:
Connect the Outside Antenna to the
Connect 3G signal booster, and the
Connect 3G to the Inside Antenna.
Have one person outside (on the roof for
best results) move the Outside Antenna
with a second person inside the building
near the Inside Antenna watching the
signal strength on a phone. This allows
you to read the signal strength from
nearby cell towers.
a. The person inside should have the
phone in test mode so the numerical
signal strength can be read. This
is more accurate than the bar
indicator.
