All Phones:
• Keep track of the network (3G or 4G) the phone is connected to.
• Any signal readings you take are valid for that phone’s carrier. To get
readings from other carriers, you will need phones from each carrier.
• When the system is set up, you can easily revert back to the “bar display”
by dialing *3001#12345#* and pressing Call. Press the signal strength at
the top left of the screen to toggle between numbers and bars. Press the
Home button to exit Field and Test mode.

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.
Did you know a signal increase of just 3dB is 2 times the power of signal
amplification?
