2.4 Look for the best location and direction of outdoor antenna
Now pick up the outdoor antenna and point to above cell tower and adjust its position
precisely, ask your partner to watch the LCD signal gauge to get a strongest possible
output signal.
Ask your partner to look at the signal meter value, 10dbm(4k) or 12dbm(10k) is the best.
Notes: The output power level in the signal meter is the level for each of the two indoor
antennas.
Fix the outdoor antenna direction when you get the best output power
• Keep in mind that it is normal for the output values may vary dynamically between 1-3 dB
• To optimize the signal for one carrier, point the outdoor antenna towards the closest cell
phone tower designated to that carrier • To optimize the signal for more than one carrier,
point the outdoor antenna between multiple towers
• Make sure to slowly turn the antenna while taking the readings so the booster has time to
adjust the reading
• Test and install the antenna at the same height where power outputs and gain values
reach the booster’s maximum capacity
• if you can’t get a good output power, which shows --, most probably the install will
fail. Either please find a new place to find good signal again, or drop the install.
