How It Works

How it works

1. An outside antenna collects signal from the cell tower.

2. The outside antenna sends the signal to the booster through coax cable.

3. The booster amplies the cell signal and rebroadcasts the signal indoors from via the inside antenna to all

mobile devices within range.

4. The system also works in reverse amplifying outgoing signal back to the tower.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. Prior to securing the location of any booster parts, a “soft install” is recommended as adjustments may be

needed to optimize performance.

2. Ensure adequate separation between the planned locations of the inside and outside antenna – at least 25

ft (see diagram ”Antenna Separation” on page 7).

3. For kits that use directional antennas (outside or inside), the directional antenna(s) should be oriented in a

way that they do not “face” the other antenna (see “Aiming Directional Antennas” Diagram).

4. Ensure sufcient cable length between the outside antenna location and booster

location. The length of the provided cable is 50 ft.

Installation Overview

Step 1. Find the outside area with the strongest signal.

Step 2. Install the outside antenna identied in step 1.

Step 3. Install the Inside antenna and booster.

Step 4. Connect power source and turn on.

Step 5. Congure gain settings if needed.

INSTALLATION

Step 1. Find the Area With the Strongest Signal

Using your phone, identify the outside location with the strongest signal for placement of your outside antenna.

Generally, this is found above the rooine on the side facing your nearest cell tower and as high as possible

– where the antenna can ‘see’ your cell tower. To nd the location of your carrier’s closest cell tower, go to

www.antennasearch.com.

The coverage area that the booster provides is directly related to the strength of incoming signal received

by the outdoor antenna. Mounting the outside antenna where the signal is the strongest will provide the

best results. Please note, as seen in the table below, if signal is extremely weak where the outside antenna is

installed, indoor coverage will be limited.

Note that Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to conrm signal coverage is the ability

to place and hold a call.

Putting your phone in Field Test mode will also indicate what level of decibels (dB) your phone is currently

receiving. Decibels are measured in the negatives, and a score closer to zero indicates you have a better

signal. A signal of -120 dB indicates you have no service, while a score of about -50 dB means you have

excellent signal strength

For specic dB signal measurements, use the methods below.

• Apple iPhones: Dial *3001#12345#* and press Call. In the top-left corner, a dB number appears instead of

bars.

• Android devices: download the app “Network Signal Info” in the Google Play store.

Step 2. Install the Outside Antenna

After identifying the area of strongest signal, choose the surface where you will mount your outside antenna.

The location should allow for sufcient separation between the outside antenna and inside antenna. Vertical

separation is preferred as it is more effective than horizontal separation.

The minimum separating distance recommended is 25 vertical feet; however, increased separation, up to 40

- 60 ft, may be needed, especially where vertical separation cannot be

achieved.

Option A: Omni Antenna

The omni antenna is omni-directional, which receives and sends signals

in a 360º radius. The provided hardware allow for either a surface mount

or pole-mount.

Installation

Antenna Separation

Warning: Do not collocate antennas or operate the outdoor antenna with any other antenna or signal booster.

Mount antenna to a vertical surface:

1. Using vertical plate of bracket, mark position of desired placement. The omni

antenna should be mounted in an upright position (See “Omni Antenna Install

Illustration”)

2. Unscrew nut from end of stucco screw and remove it along with lock washer and

regular washer.

3. Place vertical plate into desired location and tap the screws, head rst, along with

sleeve, into stucco 1/2 to 5/8 inches deep into place.

4. In this order, place washer, lock washer and nut on each screw and tighten until

secure. When tightening screw, sleeve will expand to secure plate.

5. Use provided screws to secure antenna base onto horizontal plate.

6. Connect antenna to one end of the provided RG6 cable and tighten the

connection. Run the cable along route to planned location of your booster.

Note: Alternate screws may be required for differing surfaces such as wood or concrete.

Option B: Outside Yagi Antenna

Before installing a Yagi, or directional antenna, note that the antenna should be mounted on a pole or pipe (not

provided), at the highest possible location above the rooine – at least 25 ft above the indoor antenna – aimed

in the direction of your nearest cell tower. To nd the location of your

carrier’s closest cell tower, go to www.antennasearch.com.

Ensure that the mounting area has at least a 3 ft radius clear of

obstructions, other radiating elements and metal objects such as pipes or

metal siding and orient the antenna with the drip hole at the bottom.

Once you have identied your install location, assemble the u-bolt, bracket,

nuts and washers onto a pole (available separately) as shown in the illustration. Keep the connections loose

enough to allow the antenna to rotate until the optimum direction is found.

Once the outside antenna is secured to a pipe or pole, connect antenna to one end of the provided RG6 cable

and tighten the connection. Run the cable along route to planned location of your booster.

Installation

Step 3. Install the Booster and Inside Antenna.

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.

1. Signal strength at the location of the outside antenna.

2. Interior building materials between the inside antenna and your mobile device.

3. Distance between the outside antenna and inside antenna (minimum 25 ft. separation)

Note: This booster should not be used near open re or ame. Storage and transportation: Store and place in non-extreme room-temperature and dry environment.

Option A:

Whip Antenna

Option B:

Panel Antenna

Option A: Whip Antenna

Place the booster in a central location where signal is needed. When placing the booster, note that further

separation between the booster and outside antenna will increase booster performance. Connect the whip

antenna to the booster connector labeled INSIDE.

Whether you choose to mount the booster on a wall or set on a shelf, note that the antenna should be vertical.

Option B: Panel Antenna

SureCall’s Inside panel antennas are directional with a 120˚ reach. They

should be mounted facing the area signal is needed and away from the

outdoor antenna (See “Aiming Directional Antennas” on page 6).

Mount on a vertical surface that is the approximate height of normal cell

phone use. The antenna may be concealed behind a wall provided there are

no materials that could obstruct signals.

Besides the antenna itself, parts include mounting equipment for a at

horizontal surface.

1. Using plate, mark position of desired screw placement.

2. Screw mounting plate into place with the slide panel protruding towards

you.

3. Slide antenna securely onto mounting plate.
