Preparation You Will Need (tools not included) Make sure the following materials are prepared and ready for your installation.
Step 1: Inside Antenna Placement Place the Inside Antenna where you need the greatest signal boost and place Booster in your desired location. NOTE: Do not connect booster to power until the system is fully installed.
(STEP 1 cont.) Booster Placement Mount the booster • Choose a ventilated and dry place • Keep away from heat • Don't cover booster Booster will about 30 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the ambient temperature, which is a normal phenomenon.
Step 2: Mount & Point Outside Antenna Toward Nearest Cell Tower Pole mounting and wall mounting options are included. The pole mounting option is preferred because it will be easier to adjust to the direction of the cell tower. Attach the Mount to the Outside Antenna and use the Bracket Clamps to attach the Antenna to a pole or exhaust pipe. ① ② ③ Make sure that the outside unit is mounted at least 3 feet away from any windows. Outdoor antenna must be installed over the roof line.
Point the Outside Antenna toward the nearest cell phone tower. To find the nearest tower, use an app such as 'Open Signal'. This is the most critical step of the installation process because it will determine the overall performance of the booster system.
Keep enough distance between outside and inside antenna NOTE: The Outside Antenna must be at least 40 feet (12 meters) Straight line distance or 30 feet (9 meters) horizontal 20 feet (6 meters) vertical from the Inside Antenna for best performance. The greater the separation between the Inside and Outside Antennas, the better performance you will get from the booster.
Select the optimal mounting location for the outside antenna After identifying the area of strongest signal, choose the surface where you will mount your outside antenna. 1. The location should allow for sufficient separation between the outside antenna and inside antenna. 2. In order to better receive external signals, the outside antenna is best installed in a higher position on the house, but please pay attention to lightning protection.
Antenna mutual position The outside antenna should be oriented in a way that it does not “face” the inside antenna. Caution: Do not aim an outside antenna towards inside antenna. Caution: The inside antenna cannot face the outside antenna.
Step 3: Route & Connect Outside Antenna To Booster Connect the white 3D-FB Cable to Outside Antenna and route cable into the home, secure the cable near the antenna. All connections should be finger tightened only. Route cable to the Booster and connect to the port labeled 'OUTSIDE'.
Step 3: Route & Connect Inside Antenna To Booster Connect the Inside Antenna to the 'INSIDE' port on the booster.
(STEP 3‐A cont.
Step 4: Power Up The Booster & Optimize The System Plug in the Power Supply and connect it to the nearest power outlet. NOTE: We strongly recommend using a power strip with surge protection.
Measuring Booster Performance How To Get Signal Strength As A Number iPhone® Dial *3001#12345#* then press Call. 1 Hold down power button until you see 'Slide to Power Off'. 2 Then release the power button. 3 Hold the Home button until your main screen appears. If you want to check 3G/1x but your iPhone is picking up 4G/ LTE signal, go to Settings>Cellular>Cellular Data Options>En_x0002_able .LTE>Select Off.
How To Confirm That Your Installation Is Correct And Effective? 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. (MEASURING BOOSTER PERFORMANCE AFTER INSTALLATION cont.
Light Patterns Band Indicator Lights Solid Green: • Every time the power is powered on, all the band indicators will turn orange for about 1 second. This indicates your booster has passed the self-test and is in good condition. When the booster is functioning properly, all the band indicators will remain solid green during operation. DC Power Indicator Correct Functioning: • Power Light should be solid green after powered on. Band Indicator Lights Blinking Red: • Band has reduced gain.
Troubleshooting IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE COVERAGE, THESE LIGHT ISSUES DON'T HAVE TO BE RESOLVED. YOUR CARRIER'S BAND HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED. FIXING ANY BAND INDICATOR LIGHTS BLINKING RED ISSUES Band Indicator Lights Blinking Red 1. Band Indicator Lights Blink 1 To 15 Times ( 1 cycle) Then Turn Green That means the gain lowered 1~15 dB.
How to solve the problem of oscillation: 1. Keep enough distance between inside and outside antenna Minimum Required Separation Distance Between Inside and Ouside Antenna: Straight line distance over 40 feet(12 meters) or 30 feet (9 meters) horizontal distance 20 feet (6 meters) vertical distance (as far as possible). 2. Verify outside and inside antenna face away from each other. 3. You may need to undo and redo the connection completely. Un-plug and replug in power supply.
Safety Guidelines To uphold compliance with network protection standards, all active cellular devices must maintain at least six feet of separation distance from inside unit antenna and outside unit antenna and at least four feet of separation distance from inside unit. Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-SunFord product may damage your equipment. The Signal Booster unit is designed for use in an indoor, temperature-controlled environment (less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit).
