- Page 7 Find The dBm Reading On Your Phone Having an accurate measurement of signal strength in decibels (dBm) is crucial when installing your system. Decibels accurately measure the signal strength you are receiving. Note: Turn off your cell phone’s WiFi to ensure you are checking the cellular connection. The dBm reading will be refreshed every 30-60 seconds.
- Page 8 Test Installation We STRONGLY recommend doing a test installation before finalizing the installation. Doing a test installation of your cell phone booster ensures that you will get the optimal performance from your system. Step1: Select the Location for the Outside Unit Note:This is the most critical step and will determine the overall performance of the booster system.
- Page 9 Step 2: Temporarily Mount the Outside Antenna In addition to the four corners of the building, the chimney and the pole above the roof can also be selected. As long as the installation distance between indoor and outdoor antennas is maintained enough, satisfactory results can also be achieved. Use one of the three options to mount the outside antenna on your roof on the side of the house with the strongest signal.
- Page 10 Step3: Select the Location for the Inside Antenna In order to achieve the best signal coverage effect, there is a certain distance requirement between the indoor and outdoor units. Make sure the inside and outside units are facing away from each other. Minimum Required Separation Distance Between Indoor and Outdoor Antenna：...

Page 17: Power Light
Quick Trouble shooting Correct functioning: • Power Light should be solid white( the logo on the panel) • The indicator light on the front panel indicates the status of the booster. Every time the booster is turned on, all the indicators will turn green for a period of time and then go out. - Page 18 Trouble Shooting: No Signal Improvement Step 5. Trees will greatly attenuate wireless signals. If there are tall trees within 100 feet of the house. At the same time you can't find a stable signal above 3 bars, the outdoor antenna needs to be erected 60%(at least) to 80%(best) of the tree height. Never exceed the trees! Step 6.
