TROUBLESHOOTING I get a Red LED on the amplifier – If you are receiving a Red LED even after trying different Antenna positions, try unplugging both Antennas and turn the power off and on again before plugging the Antennas in. If the Antennas are connected and too close to each other when the amplifier is turned on, it will be impossible to achieve a Green LED until you do the preceding. LED remains Yellow – First, follow the instructions outlined above if you are getting a Red LED.
