Page 6: How It Works
Contact Tech Support at 1.800.239.0394 or email at support@unidencellular.com HOW IT WORKS The cellular booster provides reliable two-way cellular coverage by improving signal strength in homes, buildings, offi ces, and other areas where cellular reception is weak or unreliable. The system amplifi es the signal from the nearest cellular tower and retransmits at a higher power level within a local area. -

It is designed to distribute the signal from the center of the affected area. Typically it is installed in a false or dropped ceiling.
- Page 18 Contact Tech Support at 1.800.239.0394 or email at support@unidencellular.com NOTE: installing additional distribution (indoor) antennas may be necessary when the area that needs coverage is very large or has barriers that block cellular signals such as multi level homes and buildings. Image 1&2: Omni directional antennas will provide better coverage for square rooms.
- Page 19 Contact Tech Support at 1.800.239.0394 or email at support@unidencellular.com ANTENNA SEPARATION Point Yagi antenna away from indoor antenna Indoor antenna Oscillation is caused when the indoor (distrubution) antenna sends a signal back into the outdoor (signal) antenna. Similar to a PA system, when the microphone gets too close to the speaker it causes feedback.

Page 20: Power Up Your Cellular Booster
Contact Tech Support at 1.800.239.0394 or email at support@unidencellular.com INSTALL YOUR CELLULAR BOOSTER Install the cellular booster in a location that is properly ventilated and not exposed to excessive heat, moisture and/or direct sunlight. The optimal area would be on a wall located near a power outlet. It should be mounted in an easily accessible area so it’s easy to perform general maintenance with the coaxial cable connections, dip switch settings and power adaptor. - Page 21 Contact Tech Support at 1.800.239.0394 or email at support@unidencellular.com IMPORTANT: Do not connect your cellular device to the cellular booster, as it may damage your cellular device. IMPORTANT: Never point the front of the yagi signal (outdoor) antenna towards the inside of the distribution (indoor) antenna. Verify that the supplied coaxial cables from both the signal (outdoor) antenna and the distribution (indoor) antenna are properly connected to the cellular booster before powering it up.

Page 22: Check The Cellular Booster Status Alarm Lights
Contact Tech Support at 1.800.239.0394 or email at support@unidencellular.com CHECK THE BOOSTER LED ALARM LIGHTS Your cellular booster comes equipped with electronic sensors designed to identify cellular signal overload or oscillation which can hinder signal- boosting performance. Your cellular booster is specially designed to automatically decrease gain to compensate for these circumstances. -
Page 23: Troubleshooting
Contact Tech Support at 1.800.239.0394 or email at support@unidencellular.com TROUBLESHOOTING The LED alarm lights represent the status of the booster on each frequency. When the lights are green the device is operating normally meaning that it is not experiencing any oscillation (feedback) and it is boosting the signal at maximum power. - Page 24 Contact Tech Support at 1.800.239.0394 or email at support@unidencellular.com By capturing the best input signal you will be able to enjoy the maximum coverage and best quality signal inside where your distribution antennas are located. The better the input signal, the better the output signal. In order to find the best input signal, you want to place your outdoor (signal) antenna as high as possible with the least amount of obstruction between the antenna and the cellular base tower.
