Selecting a Direction for the Outside Antenna
Select a location on the roof of the building to install the outside an-
tenna . Use a cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from
the cell tower . To get the strongest signal possible, it is very important
to set up your outside antenna properly . The inside and the outside
antenna must be mounted in such a way that they are able to pick up
the best possible cell signal on the outside of the building, and pro-
vide the best possible signal on the inside of the building . Mount the
outside antenna as high as possible facing the cell tower in an area
with the best possible signal coverage . Note: Never point the front of
a directional antenna toward the inside antenna. See Figure 1 on
page 12.
Reasons for Weak Cellular Signals
Anyone who uses a cell phone or cellular data card knows the
frustration of not being able to connect to or maintain a strong
cellular signal . When this occurs, it is generally due to one of two
reasons:
1 . Location of the Nearest Cell Tower – Cell towers are situated
to provide broad coverage; however, there are many areas in
which signal strength may be reduced by topographic features
or by local government restrictions on the height or placement
of the towers themselves . Rural areas generally have fewer cell
towers than urban regions .
2 . Natural and Man-Made Obstructions – Signal strength can
also be negatively affected by trees, hills, buildings, weather,
and other obstructions . You may be relatively close to a cell
tower but still unable to make a call . This often occurs in homes,
offices and other buildings in which stucco, concrete or metal
walls may block the signal .
The AG Pro 75 works with two antennas . The inside antenna
communicates with your cell phone, and the outside antenna
communicates with the cell tower .
