Finding the Strongest Signal

When installing your Signal Booster's Outside Antenna, aiming it towards
the best signal source from you service provider is important . The
best way of getting the strongest signal is to have one person on the
roof to rotate the Outside Antenna, which is connected to the Signal
Booster . Turnt the Outside Antenna about 45 degrees at a time, while the
second person is watching the signal strength on the phone inside the
building . This allows you to read the signal strength from the cell tower .
It is preferable to have the phone in the test mode so the actual signal
strength can be read, as bars are not the most accurate . Go to
www.WilsonElectronics.com for help in finding the test mode for your
phone . Always make sure the person inside the building gives the signal
time to arrive and register on the phone (between 10-30 seconds for
phone to reset to the signal reading) .
