Step 4. Attach DC Power Cable ‐ Attach small end of the 12V DC Power Cable to
the Amplifier Unit. Insert the remaining end of 12V DC Power Cable into a 12V
(cigarette lighter) Port within vehicle.
NOTE: To avoid draining battery, when the ignition is off, check that Amplifier is
not receiving power with vehicle turned off. The Amplifier's LED should be off
when the vehicle is off. To turn off Amplifier, depress the switch on 12V DC CL
Adapter.
Step 5. Examine LED light on Amplifier ‐ The LED light on the Amplifier Unit indicates
the unit is powered and the unit's operating status. Attempt to achieve the optimal
signal enhancement when positioning both Antennas before making the Antenna
placement permanent. Once powered, the Amplifier LED should be Green. Be sure that
all cell phones in the vicinity of the Amplifier are turned off during installation. Attach
both Antennas and position them to achieve a Green LED.
Green LED – Optimal signal enhancement
Red LED – Poor signal enhancement
If you are receiving a Red LED even after trying different Antenna positions, try powering
the unit off and on again. If the Antennas are connected and too close to each other
when the Amplifier Unit is turned on, it will be impossible to achieve a Green LED.
Step 6. Achieve Optimal Enhancement ‐ Once your LED is Green, you may permanently
affix both the Magnetic Mount and Patch Antenna. If LED is Red, adjust the position of
the Magnetic Mount Antenna or Interior Patch Antenna until the LED is Green.
Step 7. Quick System Check ‐ Put your cell phone antenna directly next to the Patch
Antenna. See how many signal strength bars you have. Next, turn the system off
(either turn vehicle off or press on/off switch). You should notice a decrease in signal
bar strength. The exception is if you are in an area where, with the system off, your
phone is at full signal strength. Please note when you turn the system on, if your phone
is receiving maximum signal strength you will not see a difference. In order for this
quick test to work, you will need to test unit in a less than maximum signal strength
area.
