Booster Light Patterns
SOLID GREEN
This indicates that your Drive Reach Booster is functioning properly and there are no
issues with installation.
SOLID RED
Band has shutoff. This is due to a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a
built in safetyfeature that causes a band to shut off to prevent harmful interference
with a nearby cell tower. Refer to Troubleshooting section.
BLINKING RED, THEN SOLID GREEN
This indicates that one or more of the booster bands has reduced power due to a
minorfeedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a built in safetyfeature to
prevent harmful interference with a nearby cell tower. If you are already experiencing
the desired signal boost, then no further adjustments are necessary. If you are not
experiencing the desired boost in coverage then refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Light Off
If the Drive Reach Signal Booster's light is off, verify your power supply has power.
