Do not put sharp bends in coax cables.
This can reduce signal strength from the antenna.
IMPORTANT POINTS
The installer is responsible for determining the most appropriate
fasteners to secure the antenna bracket to the roof. Depending on
the roof material, fasteners such as lag screws, well nuts, sheet metal
screws, toggle bolts and T anchors may be used, and should always be
used in combination with a roof-compatible sealant.
The installer is responsible for properly securing the coax cable to the
roof (for example, cable ties and cable tie mounting pads).
Theinstallerisresponsibleforweatherproongallholesandfastener
heads with roof-compatible sealant.
You will need a drill and drill bit, roof-compatible sealant and appropriate
fasteners to install all components and wiring.
IMPORTANT! The aluminum casing of your signal booster will adjust to the
temperature of its environment, but is designed to protect the signal booster
technology. For example, in the summer, the signal booster case may be
as hot as 150 degrees inside your vehicle. These high temperatures will not
damagethesignalbooster,nordotheyposearerisktothevehicle.Again,
be sure to place your signal booster in a location with adequate ventilation
and away from direct sunlight or moisture.
The signal booster may remain on in vehicles whose 12V DC power sources
do not automatically shut down when the vehicle is turned off. This could
result in discharging the vehicle’s battery in one to two days.
Antennasconnectedtoaboostercreatespheresofsignal.Whenthesespheres
overlap, a condition called oscillation occurs. Oscillation can be thought of as
noise, which causes the booster to shut down to prevent damage. The best
way to keep these spheres of signal from overlapping is to maximize separation
between the booster and the antenna.

Booster
Inside Antenna
The outside antenna must be completely above the roof line.
Make sure the outside antenna does not exceed maximum vehicle height
restrictions.
Locate outside antenna as far from metal obstructions as possible.
The mounting bracket allows the outside antenna to be mounted directly to
the roof, or to a pole or ladder using the included pole mounting hardware.
Mount booster as far away from outside antenna as possible, but make sure
20 foot cable will still reach between the two.
A convenient place to mount the booster is to the inside back of a cabinet
near a 110 VAC power source. The booster can be oriented in any direction.
Place inside antenna as far away
from booster as possible.
NOTE: It is up to the installer to determine the best component locations.

components in their chosen locations, completing the setup
instructions, and verifying the system works as desired.
(Route the cable through an open door or window for the
soft install.)

1. Fasten the outside antenna to the mounting bracket with the supplied
screws and washers (see page 5).
2. Connect the separate 20’ cable to the antenna (LARGE CONNECTOR).
3. Applyroof-compatiblesealantaroundtheareaswherethebracketfasteners

4. Fasten bracket to roof. Make sure fastener holes and fastener heads are
properly sealed.

If using the included booster
mounting bracket, remove
the booster from the bracket.
Fasten bracket to wall, then
snap booster back into bracket.
TIP
5. Route the cable to where it will enter the vehicle.
6. Drill an appropriately sized hole and feed the cable into the vehicle.
7. Seal the roof hole so it is completely waterproof (inside and outside).
Fastencabletoroofevery12-18.”
8. Inside, place booster in desired location or install the booster to wall.
Connect cable to booster.
9. Connect inside antenna cable to booster and place inside antenna in
position.
10. Plug booster into power source.
IMPORTANT! Make sure to avoid any cabling, pipes, etc. that may be
damaged by drilling.

Compare Results
Having an accurate measurement of signal strength in decibels (dBm)
is crucial when installing your system. Decibels accurately measure the
signal strength you are receiving.
Did you know a signal increase of just 3dB is 2 times the power of signal
amplication?

SIGNAL BOOSTER STATUS LIGHT
SOLID GREEN
This indicates your booster is functioning properly and there are no issues
with installation.
BLINKING RED, THEN SOLID GREEN
This indicates one or more of the booster bands has reduced power due to
a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a built-in safety feature
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 on the next page.
SOLID RED
This is due to a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a built-in
safety feature that causes a band to shut off to prevent harmful interference
with a nearby cell tower. Refer to the troubleshooting section on the next
page.
LIGHT OFF
If the signal booster light is off, verify your power supply has power.
NOTE: The signal booster can be reset by disconnecting and reconnecting the
power supply.
