CANT-0041 Signal Antenna Installation
Maximum performance will be achieved when the antenna is aimed at the strongest signal from your wireless
provider. If you know the direction of your provider's tower, simply point the antenna in that direction. Note: the
closest tower may NOT be used by your provider. If you are unsure of the location of the nearest tower, see
Antenna Aiming below.
Note: Choosing the highest possible point for antenna placement will usually produce the best results. If
you do not have roof access, you should choose the side of the building with the strongest signal.
Keep the Antenna at least 3 feet above metal.
Keep the Base Unit unplugged until all cables are connected.
Installation Steps:
1. Once you have determined the location of strongest signal,
install a mast or pole (not provided) on which to mount the
antenna.
2. Connect the antenna to the mast using the provided brackets
loosely enough to allow rotation around mast (Important: The
2 holes on the side of the antenna plastic must be facing
down). Before securing antenna hardware, take care in finding
the optimum angle at which to aim the antenna – See
Antenna Aiming Section for further instruction.
3. Connect the RG-6 coax cable to the antenna.
4. Route the cable indoors and connect it to the base unit using
the Cell Phone Signal Booster installation instructions.
