    What to do if Phonetone PTE-C980D has no effect?
    • J
      Jennifer CarterAug 3, 2025
      If your Phonetone Extender isn't working, first verify that the booster is connected correctly. Then, contact your mobile operator to check if the frequency band is correct. Make sure both the indoor and outdoor antennas are properly installed. Ensure your mobile phone receives at least a stable 3-bar signal at the outdoor antenna's location; if not, relocate the antenna to a stronger signal area. Finally, if you have a metal roof, position the outdoor antenna at least 3 meters above it.

    Why is Phonetone Extender's effect not ideal?

      Susan RichardsonAug 10, 2025
      The effect of your Phonetone Extender might not be ideal if the outdoor signal is weak, meaning your phone only receives one or two bars. In this case, consider contacting customer service to explore replacing the booster or antenna with a higher gain alternative.

    What to do if after installing Phonetone PTE-C980D, mobile phone can receive full signal, but can not normally make a call?

      Timothy MercadoAug 18, 2025
      If your phone shows full signal after installing the Phonetone Extender but you can't make calls, the booster may be self-oscillating. Increase the distance between the indoor and outdoor antennas as much as possible, ideally using a wall or metal barrier to separate them.
