WARNINGS!
∇ NOTICE: During transmitter operation, a minimum distance of
50cm (20 in.) shall be maintained between the antenna and
personnel, in order to meet the maximum permissible exposure
(MPE) limits in section 1.1310 of FCC Rules.
∇
∇ Mounting a signal amplifier in the engine cavity or on the
underside of the vehicle will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
∇
∇ Subjecting the amplifier to voltages greater than 30V will
damage the amplifier and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
∇
∇ Any vehicle with an electrical system of greater than 30V
should use a step-down voltage regulator to bring the voltage
within the operating power range of the amplifier (10-30V ).
∇
∇ Under no circumstances should the amplifier be powered up
without a properly connected 50 ohm 800/1900 MHz cellular
antenna or the amplifier may be damaged, resulting in the
manufacturer’s warranty being void.
∇
∇ For optimum performance and compatibility with cellular
service provider requirements, it is recommended that an
external antenna with a maximum gain of 3dB be installed.
∇
∇ Use of cellular amplifiers with antennas of higher gains than 5
dBd gain is in violation of FCC regulations for which the
offender will be fully liable, and warranty claims will be voided.
∇
It is recommended that only certified automotive installation
technicians install this product in a vehicle. Installation by any
other person is at the risk of the vehicle owner and operator.

SA200 Signal Amplifier Installation Manual
Installation
Selecting a Suitable Location to Mount the Signal Amplifier
Locate a suitable place to mount and conceal the signal amplifier.
Suggested mounting locations include: under the dashboard, under the
seat, or in the trunk. For peak performance the signal amplifier should be
installed using the supplied cabling and connectors. The amplifier should
be mounted away from moving parts, as well as excessive heat and/or
moisture.
Installation Cautions
∇ Use caution to avoid drilling through or near fuel lines or
fuel tanks; brake lines; or electrical wiring.
∇
∇ Do not mount the signal amplifier or its associated wiring in
a location that may interfere with the safe operation of the
vehicle.

3. Connect the white-striped black wire of the supplied 2-meter (78”)
power cable
3
to a positive connection on the vehicle’s electrical
system. Choose a 10-30V circuit that is fuse protected and
ignition switched. (Often referred to as the “Accessory Output”)
3.
4. Attach the solid black wire of the supplied 2-metre (78”) power
cable
3
to a vehicle electrical ground point.
4.
5.
Connect the amplifier’s ANTENNA() connector to the 3dB
antenna using the provided antenna cable 7and adapter
4
or
5
if necessary.
