PLACEMENT OF YOUR KIKA
KATALYST WIRELESS MOBILE 4G/LTE BOOSTER
It is strongly suggested that you follow the instructions in this guide to obtain the best performance of your device. Fail-
ing to do so could result in causing a disturbance to the network you are using and the booster shutting off until the
problem has been rectified.
Select a location for the Booster placement, making sure you pick a spot with good ventilation and no moisture will
come in contact with your Kika Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster.
When deciding where to put your new Kika Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster, you must take into ac-
count the cable lengths of your two antennas (Exterior Window Mount Antenna (12 feet), Interior Panel Antenna
(10 feet), and your power supply cable (4 feet) must be able to reach the spot you have decided to place your new
Kika Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster.
This will avoid having problems after your installation (i.e. improp-
er placement, cable extension problems etc.),
and cause problems with a network provider or FCC regulations thus
causing the Kika Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster to shut off.
Network signals are sent and received by the cell tower and the wireless cellphone/device constantly passes
though the Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster and back to the cell tower. The reason you purchased the
Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster is the ability of your cellphone/device to constantly connect to a cell
tower. When you are in a mobile vehicle the signal from the cell tower is often inconsistent and the Katalyst Wire-
less Mobile 4G/LTE Booster will find the cell tower and transmit the signal through the outdoor antenna back and
forth through the Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster to the indoor antenna where up to eight users/devices
can all have service inside their vehicle.
THE USE OF NON KIKA M2M LISTED ANTENNAS, CABLES OR EXTEDING THE CABLE
LENGTH IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE FCC AND CAUSE THE BOOSTER TO SHUT DOWN AND
MAY DAMAGE THE BOOSTER AND COULD VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

INSTALLING THE INERNAL ANTENNA
The Kika Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster requires two antennas with a vertical separation of at least of four
feet and a minimum horizontal separation of Eight feet from the other antenna. The Inside Panel Antenna should not be
installed any further than twelve feet from the Kika Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster. The extension of any cables may
cause problems with a network provider or FCC regulations thus causing the Kika Katalyst Wireless Mobile
4G/LTE Booster to shut off.
Find an appropriate location in the vehicle such as in the glove compartment or on under the seat, between the
front seats etc.
Before making the placement permanent make sure the Inside Panel antenna cable can reach your Kika
Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster.
Run the Interior Panel Antenna cable to the Kika Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster. Never use any sharp ob-
jects to secure the cable, and be careful not to pierce the outer cable casing because it will negatively affect how your
Kika
Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster works.
Remove the adhesive backing of the Inside Panel Antenna making sure that that the adhesive side is facing the in-
terior of the vehicle and then secure the Inside Panel Antenna to the inside of your glove compartment or the fire-
wall of your vehicle, etc.
Never use tools to secure your Kika Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster to the connector labeled INT-ANT, as
you could damage the Booster and could void your warranty.

LENGTH IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE FCC AND CAUSE THE BOOSTER TO SHUT DOWN AND
MAY DAMAGE THE BOOSTER AND COULD VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

INSTALLING Exterior Window Mount Antenna
The Kika Katalyst Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster utilizes antennas that require a vertical separation of at least of three
feet and a minimum horizontal separation of five feet. The external window mount antenna MUST have a minimum of 180º
degree line of sight with a minimum of eight inches above any obstruction.
The external window mount antenna should not be installed any further than twelve feet from the Kika Katalyst Wireless
Booster Wireless Mobile 4G/LTE Booster.
