Antenna and Booster Installation Donor Antenna: (outdoor signal antenna) a) Location: There are three choices. fig. 2, 3, 4. The choice of donor antenna location depends on the signal strength at the donor antenna location. Use your phone to determine if signal at your chosen location is adequate. Better signal level at the donor antenna location equals larger indoor coverage area.

Control Panel: Understanding the Control Panel and LED lights General: Mobile networks, phones and data devices operate in two frequency bands (800Mhz & 1900Mhz). The Stealth Booster will amplify signals in both bands if they are present. The band that the phone or cellular data device will transmit (TX) and receive (RX) on is determined by the cellular provider and cannot be chosen by the user. The booster LED lights will indicate outside signal level and booster gain.
Gain Level: Understanding the Control Panel and LED lights General: Four green LED lights for each frequency band will indicate the the level of amplification that is being applied by the Booster to the receive (RX) signal and transmit (TX) signal. Gain is applied to both RX and TX signals. Normally all four green LED will be solid on. If any green LED lights are flashing or off, it is an indication that gain has been reduced. There are four events that will cause the green LED lights to turn off or flash.
Gain Level LED Indicator Light States There are four green LED lights for each freq. band (800Mhz & 1900Mhz). Each LED represents 10dB of attenuation that is displayed as 1 to 4 flashes and solid ON.
Frequently Asked Questions My booster is powered, running and the lights are on but my signal did not improve. Why? Check your antenna connections and make sure they are snug. Also make sure that the external and internal antennas are connected to corresponding antenna ports of the booster. Should the booster get hot? Normal operation temperature for the booster is approximately 109° F, or 43° C. This will feel warm to the touch. Will the booster improve Voice and Data signals? Yes.
Glossary of Terms Attenuation: the reduction of the RF signal usually measured in dB. Attenuation is the opposite of Gain. Increasing attenuation has the same effect as turning down the volume control of a radio or stereo speaker. Booster: also known as: RF amplifier, repeater or signal enhancer. dB: short form for decibel. Unit of measure for RF signal gain or attenuation. Directional antenna: an antenna designed to focus its energy mostly in one direction.
