There is one alarm LED light for each of the cellular frequency ranges. CHeCking tHe Signal StatuS The signal indicator’s LED will notify you as to whether your cellular booster is experiencing any oscillation or feedback. The purpose of these LED’s is to allow you to fine tune your booster to achieve optimal signal quality. The bullet list below indicates what measure should be taken based on the color of the LED alarm lights. green: indicates the system is working properly. Orange: the system is experiencing slight oscillation and requires slight adjustment. See next page for adjustment procedures. red: the system is experiencing severe oscillation. Turn the unit off and make adjustments as outlined on the next page. Off: if the LED is off it is likely the system went into oscillation so severe that the auto gain and level control circuits turned the cellular booster off. -

Contact Tech Support at 1.800.215.7015 or email at support@unidencellular.com adjuSting tHe Manual gain COntrOl The Uniden U60 4G (UNI-2005-CPAL) allow you to manually attenuate the db gain of the device in increments of 5 and 10 db with a maximum of 15 db. The manual gain control (MGC) adjusts the overall amplification level (gain) of the booster. The Manual Gain Control is used to resolve the issue of oscillation without the need of readjusting your antennas, in most cases. The MGC allows you to easily reduce the amount of gain (amplification) the booster is emitting. This is done with a set of dip switches to attenuate the gain on the side of the booster. There are four sets of dip switches, when put into the “ON” position will reduce the gain of the booster for the designated frequency. When the LED alarms indicate oscillation (turns orange, red or off) you need to reduce the gain of booster for the appropriate frequency. Do this gradually in order to determine the ideal level. The Uniden U60 4G (uni-2005-cpal) can be have the gain reduced by 5, 10, or 15 db. When a dip switch is moved up to the “ON” position it will implement a reduction for the amount of gain indicated. Therefore, to implement a 5 db reduction, push the dip switch marked 5 up. To implement a 10 db reduction push the dip switch marked 10 up. To implement a 15 db reduction push both dip switches marked 5 and 10 up. - Page 25 Contact Tech Support at 1.800.215.7015 or email at support@unidencellular.com uniden u60 4g (uni-2005-CPal) MgC dip switches Here iS a breakdOWn Of tHe diP SWitCH SeCtiOnS The first section is labeled ‘A’ for the AWS band The first two dip switches control the attenuation of the 1700/2100 MHz frequency range.

Page 28: Notes And Warnings
Contact Tech Support at 1.800.215.7015 or email at support@unidencellular.com nOteS and WarningS Warning: Never point the directional antenna towards the inside distribution antenna, this will cause oscillation and the booster will shut down. note: Oscillation (feedback) can occur when the outside (signal) antenna is too close to the inside (distribution) antenna. Oscillation in a signal booster is similar to when a microphone is too close to a speaker in PA system which cause a loud screeching sound. When this oscillation happens, it can potentially interfere with nearby cellular towers. Warning: Never connect the signal booster directly to your cellular device as this may damage your cellular device. Warning: Any antenna used with this device must be at least 8 inches from any person. Warning : Ensure that both antenna’s are connected to the signal booster before commissioning the system. note: This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules.

Page 30: Troubleshooting
Contact Tech Support at 1.800.215.7015 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. When the LED lights begin to change color from green to orange to red, it means that particular frequency is experiencing some oscillation (feedback). If the oscillation is excessive the booster will shut down for that particular frequency. The booster will still work for the other frequency on a multi-band booster. Oscillation is caused when the indoor (distribution) 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. This will occur if your antennas are too close together, or the indoor antenna is pointed at the outdoor antenna. Make sure you have adequate separation and some type of shielding between the antennas (usually your roof or a cement wall is good enough). iMPOrtant nOteS The 2 most important things to look for when setting up your system is: A good input signal (the best you can find) Isolating the outdoor (signal) antenna from the indoor (distribution) antennas so they do not feedback into each other. - Page 31 Contact Tech Support at 1.800.215.7015 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. A clear line of site is ideal. Isolating the signal from the antennas is done by ensuring that the antennas are not pointing to each other and by having enough distance or barrier shielding in between them. The signals travel like rays of sunlight, a directional antenna will send the signal in the direction that it is pointing. An omni directional antenna will send the signal in every direction around it. So depending on your equipment its important to be sure that your distribution antenna (indoor) is not sending the signal back into the outdoor (signal) antenna. tHingS tO CHeCk WHen eXPerienCing Weak Cellular Signal Ensure the signal antenna (outdoor) is pointing in the correct direction and is capturing adequate signal for the booster. Check all connections on the cable, antennas, and booster. Check cable for bends and or cuts. All LED lights on the booster should be green. Signal antenna (outdoor) and the distribution antennas (indoor) have adequate separation and are not causing feedback.

There are certain cases where your system could be experiencing oscillation. This can be attributed to either the quality of your input signal or having your signal (outdoor) antenna and distribution (indoor) antenna too close together. Please review the following guidelines to help resolve this issue: 1. Adjust the direction of the signal (outdoor) antenna. If the system is receiving a very high input signal, you can point your signal (outdoor) antenna away from the cellular tower to reduce the strength of the input signal and therefore, reduce the oscillation. Alternatively if your system is receiving a very poor quality signal (weak and unusable signal), you can point your signal (outdoor) antenna more directly towards the cellular tower to increase the strength of the input signal. Sometimes this may require completely repositioning the antenna to a location where you can achieve a line of site to the tower. 2. Increase the separation between the signal (outdoor) antenna and the distribution (indoor) antenna. This can be achieved by increasing the distance between the two antennas or by placing barriers between them,... - Page 33 Contact Tech Support at 1.800.215.7015 or email at support@unidencellular.com i inStalled tHe bOOSter and My Signal StrengtH iS Still Weak In order to correct a weak signal; essentially you have the options of: • Adjust the aim of the signal (outdoor) antenna or replace it with a higher gain antenna. • Move the distribution (indoor) antenna. • Increase the number of distribution (indoor) antennas. • Reducing the attenuation values you chose when setting the manual gain control. i CannOt Maintain CallS, My Signal StrengtH fluCtuateS If you find the booster is working but drops calls or delivers fluctuating signal levels, the most likely cause is oscillation between the signal and distribution antenna(s).
