Separation of the inside and outside antennas is very important. The metal roof
of the vehicle acts as a barrier and helps shield the two antennas from each other,
preventing oscillation (feedback).
If the vehicle has a sunroof, it is important to separate the inside and outside antennas by at
least five feet . This prevents the Signal Booster from overloading or oscillating .

Distance between antennas through
a sunroof must be 5 feet or more .
The power light will turn green when the Signal
Booster is successfully powered up . When the
800 MHz or 1900 MHz lights are lit green, the
Signal Booster is amplifying the outside signal .
If one or both frequency lights turn red, oscillation
is occurring and the Signal Booster has powered
down on the frequency with the red light to
prevent oscillation . The outside antenna needs to
be moved farther from the inside antenna . Move
the outside antenna on the roof of the car to the
rear of the car, but at least 8-12 inches from the
rear or side windows . Disconnect power from the
Signal Booster and reconnect power . This resets
the Signal Booster .
If the lights are now green, the Signal Booster is
working properly . If the red light is still on, move
the antenna farther away and repeat the process .
Always use a magnet-mount or roof-mount
antenna . Do not use a glass-mount antenna, as
oscillation may cause continuous shut-down of
the Signal Booster .
A blinking amber light in either the 800 MHz or
1900 MHz position indicates overload from the
cell tower . The Signal Booster has temporarily
shut down and will automatically reset when
overload is no longer detected .
Hours: 7am to 6 pm MST.
