Preparation
You Will Need (tools not included)
Make sure the following materials are prepared and ready for your
installation.
NOTE: These instructions will walk you through a “soft” install process to
find the optimal locations for the inside and outside antennas, then
through the process of the permanent installation.
1 to 2 hours
2 people (a person to help antenna calibration)
pLadder
pDrill (if routing cable through wall)
p1”-3” diameter existing pole for mounting
Outdoor Antenna (Pole Mount can be purchased
separately if needed)
pRecommended: Power Strip with surge protection

Booster will about 30 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the ambient
temperature, which is a normal phenomenon.
Step 1: Install the Booster
Install the Booster with built-in indoor antenna where you need the
greatest signal boost and place it in your desired location. Mount the
signal booster in a ventilated and dry place that is easily accessible
for maintenance (it should be located near a power outlet)
While choosing a location for the booster, please keep in mind that there
must be at least 20 ft of vertical separation between the outdoor antenna
and the booster with built-in indoor antenna.
NOTE: Do not connect booster to power until the system is fully installed.

Step 2: Mount & Point
Outside Antenna Toward
Nearest Cell Tower
Pole mounting and wall mounting options are included. The pole
mounting option is preferred because it will be easier to adjust to the
direction of the cell tower.
Attach the Mount to the Outside Antenna and use the Bracket Clamps
to attach the Antenna to a pole or exhaust pipe.
Make sure that the outside unit is mounted at least 3 feet away from any
windows.
Outdoor antenna must be installed over the roof line.
NOTE: Mounting on existing roof exhaust pipe would be a
good time-saver option. Watch out for power lines.

Point the Outside Antenna toward the nearest cell phone tower. To find
the nearest tower, use an app such as 'Open Signal'. This is the most
critical step of the installation process because it will determine the
overall performance of the booster system.
5

Keep enough distance between outside antenna
and booster
NOTE:
The Outside Antenna must be at least 30 feet (9 meters) Straight line
distance or
20 feet (6 meters) horizontal
20 feet (6 meters) vertical from the booster with built-in indoor antenna for
best performance.
The greater the separation between the Booster with built-in indoor
antenna and Outside Antenna, the better performance you will get from
the booster.

Select the optimal mounting location for the outside
antenna
After identifying the area of strongest signal, choose the surface where you will
mount your outside antenna.
1. The location should allow for sufficient separation between the outside
antenna and inside antenna.
2. In order to better receive external signals, the outside antenna is best
installed in a higher position on the house, but please pay attention to lightning
protection.

Booster and Antenna mutual position
The outside antenna should
be oriented in a way that it
does not “face” the
booster with built-in indoor
antenna.
Caution: Do not aim an
outside antenna towards
the booster with built-in
indoor antenna.
