Installation

Chapter 4.

This chapter describes how to install the booster and antennas for best results.

4.1 - Selecting the Locations

Select the locations for the exterior antenna, interior antenna(s), booster, cables, and accessories as 
described in the previous chapter.

4.2 - Soft Installation

Perform a “soft” installation of all components to test signal coverage and oscillation before making 
the installation permanent. Avoid making holes or other permanent fixtures during this initial phase. 
Please refer to Chapter 5 of this manual for configuration and testing instructions. Proceed with the 
final installation once configuration and testing are complete.

4.3 - Exterior Antenna

Mount the exterior antenna in the location you selected during the planning process. Be sure to follow 
all of the instructions included with the antenna to ensure a safe installation. Remember:
• An omnidirectional antenna (SC-100-L, SC-100-S, etc.) must be mounted vertically. 
• A Yagi antenna (such as the SC-230W) must be mounted horizontally and be aimed at the desired 
cellular tower (line of sight).

CAUTION: FAILURE TO PROPERLY PLAN THE 
BOOSTER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE SIGNAL 
OSCILLATION AND/OR OTHER EQUIPMENT 
MALFUNCTION.
