CONNECT TO POWER
Quick Setup Guide
Once the booster and the outside antenna are connected, connect the power cord to
the Flare booster and plug into a 110V AC power outlet.
Place a call in the room where the booster is located to conrm that your phone is
receiving a boosted signal.
LED Indicators

Position Condition Indication
Left or

OFF -OR -
Solid Yellow
Normal active operation.
Left Yellow Flashing Normal operation. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is
self-adjusting.
Left Red Flashing The booster is receiving too strong of a signal which could
cause the booster to automatically shut down.
If this happens, relocate the outside antenna to a location
where the signal is weaker. Move in small increments away
from cell tower until Red ashing stops.
Right Yellow Flashing Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is preventing oscillation.
Increased separation between outside antenna and
booster is recommended to optimize performance.
Right Red/Yellow
Alternately
Flashing
Booster has shut down to prevent oscillation.
Increased separation between the outside antenna and
booster is required to continue operation.
Troubleshooting
Problem Resolution
Signal booster has
no power
Connect the power supply to an alternate power source.
Verify that the power source is not controlled by a switch that has
removed power from the outlet.
If the Power LED () on the signal booster is still OFF, contact
tech support at: 1-888-365-6283 or [e-mail]
After completing
installation, indoor
signal coverage
has not improved
1. Verify that all cable connections are tightly tted.
2. Try further separating the booster and antenna.
3. Verify that there is usable signal where the outside antenna
is placed.
Remember: Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal.
The best way to conrm signal coverage is the ability to place
and hold a call.

Outside Antenna
Minimum 25 ft. separation
Using your phone, identify the outside location with the strongest signal. This is
generally found on the side facing your nearest cell tower and as high as possible.
Capturing the strongest possible signal with your outside antenna will provide the best
resulting coverage.
Please note that bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to
conrm signal coverage is the ability to place and hold a call.
Before installation, ensure there will be adequate separation between the planned
locations of the outside antenna and booster (at least 25 ft.).
1.
FIND OUTSIDE LOCATION WITH STRONGEST SIGNAL
After identifying the area of strongest signal, identify a surface where you will mount
the outside antenna. The mounting location should be free from obstructions, metal
or other radiating elements and at the highest possible elevation, also allowing for the
minimum 25 feet separation from the booster.
The included antenna hardware allows for two mounting options: a surface mount or
a pole mount*. Assemble and secure the provided L-Bracket and hardware (example
shown below) to your chosen surface. Next, secure the antenna upright and vertically
to the bracket and connect one end of the provided 50 ft. cable to the antenna and
tighten.

INSTALL THE OUTSIDE ANTENNA
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
If you Want to Improve Coverage
• Identify a location outside that receives a stronger signal and move the outside
antenna to that location (higher is usually better).
• Increase the distance between the booster and outside antenna.
• Consider upgrading your outside antenna to directional outside antenna that can
be aimed to your nearest cell tower.

Cable to Outside Antenna
Place the Flare signal booster in a central location where cellular reception is needed,
at least 25 feet from the outside antenna and close to an AC outlet. When placing the
booster, note that further separation between the booster and outside antenna will
increase booster performance.
Route the cable from the outside antenna, inside to the booster location and tighten
the connection.
