Page 7: Step 2: Mount & Point Outside Antenna Toward Nearest Cell Tower
Step 2: Mount & Point Outside Antenna Toward Nearest Cell Tower Pole mounting and wall mounting options are included. The pole mounting option is preferred because it will be easier to adjust to the direction of the cell tower. Attach the Mount to the Outside Antenna and use the Bracket Clamps to attach the Antenna to a pole or exhaust pipe. - Page 8 Point the Outside Antenna toward the nearest cell phone tower. To find the nearest tower, use an app such as 'Open Signal'. This is the most critical step of the installation process because it will determine the overall performance of the booster system.
- Page 9 Keep enough distance between outside and inside antenna NOTE: The Outside Antenna must be at least 40 feet (12 meters) Straight line distance or 30 feet (9 meters) horizontal 20 feet (6 meters) vertical from the Inside Antenna for best performance. The greater the separation between the Inside and Outside Antennas, the better performance you will get from the booster.
- Page 10 Select the optimal mounting location for the outside antenna After identifying the area of strongest signal, choose the surface where you will mount your outside antenna. 1. The location should allow for sufficient separation between the outside antenna and inside antenna. 2.
- Page 11 Antenna mutual position The outside antenna should be oriented in a way that it does not “face” the inside antenna. Caution: Do not aim an outside antenna towards inside antenna. Caution: The inside antenna cannot face the outside antenna.

Page 16: Measuring Booster Performance
Measuring Booster Performance How To Get Signal Strength As A Number iPhone® Dial *3001#12345#* then press Call. 1 Hold down power button until you see 'Slide to Power Off'. 2 Then release the power button. 3 Hold the Home button until your main screen appears. If you want to check 3G/1x but your iPhone is picking up 4G/ LTE signal, go to Settings>Cellular>Cellular Data Options>En_x0002_able .LTE>Select Off. - Page 17 How To Confirm That Your Installation Is Correct And Effective? 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. (MEASURING BOOSTER PERFORMANCE AFTER INSTALLATION cont.) Signal strength at 6 feet from indoor antenna Note here: Signal strength at 6 feet from outdoor antenna Note here: Compare Results If the signal strength in decibels (dBm)at 6 feet from the indoor antenna is 15‐20dB higher than the signal strength at 6 feet from the outdoor antenna, then your system has achieved the optimum results. Note: Since it is a negative number, the smaller the number, the greater the signal strength. DID YOU KNOW a signal increase of just 3dB is 2 times the power and signal amplification!

Page 18: Light Patterns
Light Patterns Band Indicator Lights Solid Green: • Every time the power is powered on, all the band indicators will turn orange for about 1 second. This indicates your booster has passed the self-test and is in good condition. When the booster is functioning properly, all the band indicators will remain solid green during operation. -

FIXING ANY BAND INDICATOR LIGHTS BLINKING RED ISSUES Band Indicator Lights Blinking Red 1. Band Indicator Lights Blink 1 To 15 Times ( 1 cycle) Then Turn Green That means the gain lowered 1~15 dB. - Page 20 How to solve the problem of oscillation: 1. Keep enough distance between inside and outside antenna Minimum Required Separation Distance Between Inside and Ouside Antenna: Straight line distance over 40 feet(12 meters) or 30 feet (9 meters) horizontal distance 20 feet (6 meters) vertical distance (as far as possible). 2.

Page 21: Safety Guidelines
Safety Guidelines To uphold compliance with network protection standards, all active cellular devices must maintain at least six feet of separation distance from inside unit antenna and outside unit antenna and at least four feet of separation distance from inside unit. Use only the power supply provided in this package. -
