Installing Your Hardware
Step 5. Configure Gain Settings
Facing the front of your booster, find 4 banks of Dual In-line Package (DIP) switches.
These switches allow manual dB gain attenuation for uplink and downlink channels.
• Bank 1 controls PCS communications with the cellular tower.
• Bank 2 controls PCS amplification in the building.
• Bank 3 controls cellular amplification in the building.
• Bank 4 controls cellular amplification with the tower.
The DIP switches in each bank correspond to the following dB gain values:
Switch 1
1 dB
For maximum gain on all channels, your booster ships with all DIP switches turned OFF.
This setting should always be your starting point when installing or reinstalling the booster.
To change it, move the DIP switches to the ON or OFF position.
• Moving a switch down (away from the LEDs) turns OFF the switch and increases
booster gain for the selected channel.
• Moving a switch up (toward the LEDs) turns ON the switch and decreases booster
gain for the selected channel.
Switch settings are cumulative. This means the total amount of attenuation for a channel
equals the combined dB of all DIP switches in the same bank being set to ON.
