• Nowthattheboosterisup‐and‐running,re‐testthesignalstrengthinsideyourhome
atthesamelocationsfromStep3.Ifthenumberishigher(dBmreadingiscloserto
zero)thantheoriginalreading,yourboosterisworking.
• Ifyoursignalisnotstronger,checktheLEDlightsontheboosterandrefertothe
“TroubleShooting”onpage17fordetailinformation.

Atadistanceof6feetfromtheindoorantenna,testthe
signalstrengthwithoutobstruction.Ifthis testresultis
15~20dbhigherthanyourtestresultattheoutdoor
antennaposition,thenyoursystemhasreachedthebest
effect.
Forexample,youtestasignalof‐90dbmat6feetaway
fromtheindoorantenna.Youroutsideantennaposition
recordis‐105dbm.Sotheimprovementis:
‐90dbm‐(‐105dbm)=15db
Ifyourresultsdonotreachthisrange,pleasegoto
“TroubleShooting‐NoImprovement”onpage24for
detailinformation.
How tovisuallyconfirmthatyourinstallationiseffectiveandcorrect?
Note1:Indailylife,thesignaldbmreadingsofourmobilephonesrangefrom‐70dbmto
‐120dbm. Because it is a negative number, the smaller the number, the greater the
signalstrength.
Note2:Inthecaseofnoproblemswiththe installation,thestrengthoftheindoorsignal
dependsentirelyonthestrengthoftheoutdoorsignal.
