Lights Off
1 . Check connections on the power
supply to see that it is firmly plugged
into both the Drive 3G-M and the
power source.
2 . If using a DC power supply in your
vehicle, ensure the power supply is
properly inserted. Then check the
12 volt power from the car socket
and the fuse. Replace the fuse if
necessary.
3 . If using a power strip in a building,
ensure the power strip is plugged
in and turned on and that power is
coming from the outlet.
NOTE: The Signal Booster can be reset by
disconnecting and reconnecting the power
supply.
Additional FAQ:
How does weather affect the performance of
my outside antenna?
Water vapor (e g. rain, fog, snow or other
precipitation) creates an effective filter to cellular
signal. In times of heavy precipitation, you may
see less performance.
What’s the difference between the 800 MHz
and the 1900 MHz bands? How do I know
which MHz band my cell phone uses?
The Drive 3G-M works with all major North
American cellular providers on the 800 & 1900
MHz frequencies. Traditionally, 800/1900MHz are
associated wi h voice and 3G data; while 700MHz
and 1700/2100MHz are associated with 4G data.
NOT damage the Signal Booster, nor do
they pose a fire risk to the vehicle. Again,
be sure to place your Signal Booster in a
location with adequate ventilation and away
from direct sunlight or moisture.
Understanding the Drive 3G-M
Signal Booster Lights
The Signal Boost includes 3 indicator
lights on the front of the Drive 3G-M. The
indicator lights will either be green or red.
Green indicates that the booster is
powered and operating at maximum
gain.
Solid Red indicates that the booster
has shut off on the associated
frequencies to prevent oscillation
(feedback).
Green/red Blinking indicates that the
booster is operating at a reduced gain
to prevent oscillation (feedback).
Fixing Red Light Issues
If one or more lights on the Signal Boost
are red:
1 . Make sure all connections are tight.
2 . Increase the distance between the
outside antenna and the Drive 3G-M,
by moving them horizontally and/or
vertically farther apart until the light(s)
change to green. Remember to keep
the antenna at least 6 inches from
any window or sunroof.
3 . Follow the same steps for a green/red
blinking light until the light goes solid
green.
4 . If more separation is not possible and
the coverage of the booster is too
small with a green/red blinking light
indicating reduced gain.
