Antenna Aiming:
To get the maximum benefit, you will want to take special care to make sure you point the antenna in the
direction of the best signal for your wireless service provider.
1. Place your cell phone on a non-metal surface which is 6-8 feet from the Base Unit Antenna.
2. Turn the signal booster on and wait 30 seconds. Note the number of signal bars displayed on
your cell phone. For best results, you want your phone to display in the middle of the signal
meter range or less so that it can go up as you rotate the Signal Antenna to the optimum
direction. If it is reading too high, move the phone farther from the base unit antenna.
3. Record the number of signal bars (or range) ________(A) on your cell phone. Leave the phone
in the same place and pointing in the same direction for the following steps.
Note the direction of the antenna starting position_________________________.
4. Rotate the antenna mast 90 degrees and then record the phone signal bars _________(B).
5. Continue to rotate the antenna mast another 90 degrees in the same direction and record the
phone signal bars _________(C).
6. Again, rotate the antenna mast another 90 degrees in the same direction and again record the
phone signal bars _________(D).
7. Look for the highest reading above. Set the antenna to that position and tighten the antenna
mast.
8. If you desire to optimize further, then look for the two highest signal bar readings above and move
the antenna between these two points to find the highest signal bars reading.
9. Once you have determined the highest reading position tighten the antenna mast.
You have now completed the Directional Signal Antenna installation.
