Confirm Your Repeater is Working Properly
Perform the following steps to confirm that the unit is now working properly:
Unplug the Base Unit power cord.
1. Turn on your mobile phone and check the signal meter.
2. Plug the power cord into the Repeater/Base Unit.
3. Hold your mobile phone about 1m from the Indoor Antenna and then
turn it on. Wait up to 1 minute for the Mobile phone to register the
signal coming from the Repeater/Base Unit.
4. If the signal meter shows improvement, your Repeater unit is working
properly.

Improving Your Coverage Area

When your Repeater system is in place and fully connected, you should walk
throughout the room and see that you are able to reliably place calls.
Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, building
construction, and antenna placement. Coverage in adjoining rooms (next to,
above, or below) will be reduced by walls or ceiling/floors.
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
1. Move the Repeater/Base Unit and/or adjust the angle of the Indoor Antenna.
2. Move the Outdoor Antenna to a higher location.
3. Purchase additional cable for the Outdoor Antenna.
4. Adjust the gain of the repeater using the dip switches
