Quick System Check
- Place your cell phone in the

off (unplug unit). You should notice a decrease in signal bar
strength. The exception is if you are in an area where, with the system off, your phone is at full
signal strength. Please note when you turn the system on, if your phone is receiving maximum
signal strength you will not see a difference. In order for this quick test to work, you will need to
test unit in a less than maximum signal strength area.
