WARNINGS!
∇ Directly wired vehicle antennae, mounted a minimum distance of 50 cm (19.5”) away from any person, are
recommended.
∇ 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 30 Volts DC will damage the amplifier and void the manufacturers
warranty.
∇ Any vehicle with an electrical system of greater than 30 Volts DC should use a step-down voltage regulator to bring
the voltage within the DC operating power range of the amplifier (10 to 30V dc).
∇ Under no circumstances should the amplifier be powered up without a properly connected 50 ohm 800 MHz
cellular antenna or the amplifier may be damaged and the manufacturer’ warranty will be void.
∇ An antenna of not more than 5dBd gain shall be used with the amplifier or the manufacturer’s warranty will be void.
∇ Use of cellular amplifiers with antennae of higher gains is in violation of FCC regulations for which the offender will
be fully liable.
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.
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,

possible. The amplifier’s location should be easily accessible and mounted away from moving parts, as well as excessive heat
and moisture.
Installation Cautions

Typical Installation For Under The Seat Mounting
1. For safety, disconnect the vehicle’s negative “−
−−
−“ battery terminal to remove power from the vehicle.
2. Drill holes and mount the signal amplifier (ITEM 1) in the selected location.
3. Connect the coloured striped black wire of the supplied 2 Meter (78”) power cable (ITEM 3) for the signal amplifier to a
positive connection on the vehicle’s electrical system. Choose a 10 to 30 Volt DC circuit that is: fuse protected; and ignition
switched. (Often referred to as the “Accessory output”)
4. Attach the solid black wire of the supplied 2 Meter (78”) power cable (ITEM 3) to a vehicle electrical ground point.
5. Attach one end of the antenna cable*1to the antenna. The other end is connected to the cellular phone handset via a
cradle or an RF output cable*1 to the signal amplifier’s ANTENNA output connector. Use the supplied FME to TNC
adapters (ITEM 4 or 5) if necessary.
6. Connect the amplifier’s PHONE input connector to the cellular phone handset via a cradle or an RF output cable using
the provided 1.5 Meter (59”) RF cable (ITEM 2) and adapter (ITEM 4 or 5) if necessary.
7. Reconnect the vehicle’s negative “−
−−
−“ Battery terminal.
