BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. Prior to securing the location of any booster parts, a “soft install” is recommended as adjustments may be

needed to optimize performance.

2. Ensure adequate separation between the planned locations of the inside and outside antenna – at least 25

ft (see diagram ”Antenna Separation” on page 7).

3. For kits that use directional antennas (outside or inside), the directional antenna(s) should be oriented in a

way that they do not “face” the other antenna (see “Aiming Directional Antennas” Diagram).

4. Ensure sufcient cable length between the outside antenna location and booster

location. The length of the provided cable is 50 ft.

Installation Overview

Step 1. Find the outside area with the strongest signal.

Step 2. Install the outside antenna identied in step 1.

Step 3. Install the Inside antenna and booster.

Step 4. Connect power source and turn on.

Step 5. Congure gain settings if needed.

INSTALLATION

Step 1. Find the Area With the Strongest Signal

Using your phone, identify the outside location with the strongest signal for placement of your outside antenna.

Generally, this is found above the rooine on the side facing your nearest cell tower and as high as possible

– where the antenna can ‘see’ your cell tower. To nd the location of your carrier’s closest cell tower, go to

www.antennasearch.com.

The coverage area that the booster provides is directly related to the strength of incoming signal received

by the outdoor antenna. Mounting the outside antenna where the signal is the strongest will provide the best

results.

Please note, if signal is extremely weak where the outside antenna is installed, indoor coverage will be limited.

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.

Putting your phone in Field Test mode will also indicate what level of decibels (dB) your phone is currently

receiving. Decibels are measured in the negatives, and a score closer to zero indicates you have a better

signal. A signal of -120 dB indicates you have no service, while a score of about -50 dB means you have

excellent signal strength

For specic dB signal measurements, use the methods below.

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

bars.

• Android devices: download the app “Network Signal Info” in the Google Play store.

Step 2. Install the Outside Antenna

After identifying the area of strongest signal, choose the surface

where you will mount your outside antenna.

The location should allow for sufcient separation between the

outside antenna and inside antenna. Vertical separation is preferred

as it is more effective than horizontal separation.

The minimum separating distance recommended is 25 vertical feet;

however, increased separation, up to 40 - 60 ft, may be needed,

especially where vertical separation cannot be achieved.

Option A: Omni Antenna

The omni antenna is omni-directional, which receives and sends signals in a 360º radius. The provided

hardware allow for either a surface mount or pole-mount.

Mount antenna to a vertical surface:
