Blinking Red, Then Solid Green This indicates that one or more of the booster bands has reduced power due to a minor feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a built in safety feature to prevent harmful interference with a nearby cell tower.
______ Troubleshooting FIXING BLINKING OR SOLID RED ISSUES This section is only applicable if the booster is red or blinking red and you are not experiencing the desired signal boost. Unplug the booster’s power supply. Relocate the inside and outside antenna further from each other. The objective is to increase the separation distance between them, so that they will not create this feedback condition discussed before.
