pluginpowersupplytotheamplifier
marked“Power”andinsertthelargeend
intoDCpowersocket(thecigarettelighter
outlet.)
Theamplifiermayremainonallthetime.
However,leavingtheamplifieronina
vehiclewhenitisnotrunningcandischarge
thebatteryinadayortwo.
Agoodoptionistopowertheamplifier

UnderstandingtheAmplifierLights
ThepowerlightPWRwillturngreen
whentheamplifierissuccessfully
poweredup.Whenthe800MHzor
1900MHzlightsarelitgreen,the
amplifierisamplifyingtheoutside
signal.
Ifoneorbothfrequencylightsturn
red,oscillationisoccurringandthe
amplifierhaspowereddown.The
outsideantennaneedstobemoved
fartherfromtheCradlePlus.Movethe
outsideantennaontheroofofthecar
totherearofthecar,butatleast812
inchesfromtherearorsidewindows.
Removepowerfromtheamplifier
andreinstallpowerthisresetsthe
amplifier.
Ifthelightsarenowgreen,the
oscillationhasstoppedandthe
amplifierisworking.Iftheredlightis
stillon,movetheantennafartheraway
andrepeattheprocess.
Alwaysuseamagnetmount,mirror
mountorroofmountantenna.Do
notuseaglassmountantenna,as
oscillationmaycausecontinuousshut
downoftheamplifier.
Anamberlightineitherthe800
MHzor1900MHzpositionindicates
overloadfromthecellsite.The
amplifierhastemporarilyshutdown
andwillautomaticallyreset.

Averagegainsare:37dB(800MHzuplink&downlink)45dB(1900MHzuplink&downlink)
2.Nominalbandwidthisthedifferencebetweentwofrequenciesthatareadjacenttothepassbandwheretheamplificationis20dB
lowerthanthepassbandamplification.Oneofthefrequenciesislowerthanthepassbandandtheotherishigher.
3.TheManufacturer’sratedoutputpowerofthisequipmentisforsinglecarrieroperation.Forsituationswhenmultiplecarrier
signalsarepresent,theratingwouldhavetobereducedby3.5dB,especiallywheretheoutputsignalisreradiatedandcan
causeinterferencetoadjacentbandusers.Thispowerreductionistobebymeansofinputpowerorgainreductionandnotby
anattenuatorattheoutputofthedevice.
4.Themaximumpowerfor2ormoresimultaneoussignalswillbereducedby6dBeverytimethenumberofsignalsisdoubled.
