How it works The high-gain outside antenna captures even the weakest cell signal, from the cell tower where it is aimed. The Fusion5X Max outside booster uses Extended Range Technology™ (ERT) to grab signal outside, at its strongest point, where it boosts voice, text and data signals for all 4G & 5G devices. Using ultra low-loss cable, signal is transmitted from the outside to the Fusion5X Max inside host amplifier. The signal is then broadcast from the inside panel antenna to all cellular devices in range.

Installation Overview Before installation, review the above information. In addition to the contents listed below, you will need a ladder, drill, cable clips, and a pole or mast to mount your outside components. A mounting pole is available separately (SC-MOUNT-JBAR), if needed. Prior to securing the location of any booster parts, a “soft install” is recommended as adjustments may be needed to optimize performance. Step 1. Find the outside area with the strongest signal. Step 2.
For more detailed measurements, you can take readings of your phone’s signal in decibels(dB). Decibels are measured in the negatives and generally should fall between -40 and -130. A score closer to zero indicates a stronger signal. For example, a signal of -120 dB indicates no service, while a score of about -50 dB means you have excellent signal. For specific dB signal measurements, use the methods below.
➊ Install the Yagi antenna Once you have identified your install location, assemble the u-bolt, bracket, nuts and washers onto a pole (available separately) as shown in the illustration. L-bracket ➊ Nut Washer Keep the connections loose enough to allow the antenna to rotate until the optimum direction is found. Drip Hole Orient the antenna with the drip hole at the bottom.
Step 3. Install the Inside Antennas Choose a location for the booster and inside antenna that is near a working outlet and at least 25 Ft from the outside antenna. Consider the below factors affecting booster performance. Signal strength at the location of the outside antenna. Interior building materials between the inside antennas and your mobile device. Distance between the outside antenna and inside antennas (minimum 25 ft.
For kits that include Inside Panel Antennas The provided panel antennas are multi-band directional antennas with a 120˚ reach. They should be mounted facing the area signal is needed. It is also important that they do not point toward the outdoor antenna. Range of antenna is dependent on three factors: 1. Physical obstructions 2. Power generated by booster 3. Signal level received by the outdoor antenna Besides the antenna itself, parts include mounting equipment for a flat horizontal surface.
Step 4: Place the Inside Host Unit and Connect Cables Place the Inside Host unit in your chosen location that is on a flat surface or mounted to a wall. Choose a location that is near a working AC outlet. To install the booster to a wall, use the supplied screws or appropriate screws for surface and drill through screw tab holes on booster (see “Host Unit Diagram” illustration). Connect the open end of each inside cable connector to the ports of the host unit labeled INSIDE.
Step 5: Connect Power Source and Turn On Connect the AC power cord to the booster and plug into a 110V AC power outlet. Once the booster has been completely assembled, turn the booster’s power switch to ON. Note: If the Power LED does not turn ON, see the ”Troubleshooting” on page 18 section. Note: T his booster is rated for 5-15V input voltage. DO NOT use the booster with a higher voltage power supply. This can damage the booster, cause personal injury, and void your warranty.
Performance Optimization The Fusion5X Max automatically reduces gain (coverage performance) because of insufficient RF Separation between the inside and outside antennas. Consider the following options to resolve issues with inadequate antenna isolation. 1. Verify that a minimum distance of 25 vertical feet has been achieved. Separation up to 50 ft of horizontal distance may be needed, however, especially where vertical separation is not possible. 2.
LCD INDICATIONS Note: Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to confirm signal coverage is the ability to place and hold a call. Important: The booster gain should remain at maximum level and only reduced manually if other recommended actions do not resolve the issue.
