Step 1. Make sure you have positioned the booster in a window with the strongest

signal close enough to an existing electrical outlet.

Step 2. Make sure you have sucient cable length between proposed inside antenna

location and booster connector.

Installation Overview

Step 1. Find the outside area that has the strongest signal. (See page 7 for instruction)

Step 2. Install the inside antenna. (See page 8 for instruction)

Step 3. Mount the signal booster, connect the inside antenna cable to the signal booster, and

connect the booster to an AC power source. (See page 9 for instruction)

Step 4. Congure gain settings on the signal booster if needed.

Before You Install

Installing Your Hardware

Step 1. Find the area with the Strongest Signal

The signal booster requires a minimum cellular signal of low –100 dBm to high –90 dBm.

Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -85). The stronger

the EZBoost signal, the closer it gets to zero. Aim for a signal close to -50 dB. Signals

stronger than -50 dB may cause the booster to shut down (see the graph below). Before

installing the outside antenna, nd the area with the strongest cellular signal source from

your service provider by following the directions below. You can also go to www.anten-

nasearch.com to nd the general location of your carrier’s towers.

Measure the strength of the existing cellular signal in various locations

• Apple iPhones: Dial*3001# 12345#* and press Call. In the top-left corner, a number appears instead of bars.

• Android devices: download apps such as “Network Signal Info” in the Google Play store to measure signal

strength. Search check real signal strength to nd other cell signal measurement apps.

• Internet: go to www.speedtest.net

2. Select a window sill location away from buildings, walls, trees, hills, and other terrain features that

can block or reect wireless signals with the strongest signal.

Note: Where you install your booster in relation to the carrier’s cell phone tower also determines signal strength. Although cell phone

carriers try to place towers for maximum coverage, local ordinances and terrain features can restrict tower locations, which can limit signal

strength at your location.
