Step 2-A: Point Outside
Antenna Toward Nearest
Cell Tower
Point the Outside Antenna toward the nearest cell phone tower. To find the
nearest tower, use an app such as ‘Open Signal’. This is the most critical step
of the installation process because it will determine the overall performance
of the booster system.
Cell Tower
Outside Antenna
NOTE: The Outside Antenna must be at least
50 feet horizontal or 20 feet vertical from the Inside
Antenna for best performance. Make sure the Inside
Antenna and Outside Antennas are setup so they are
facing away from each other.

Step 2-B: Mount Bracket To
Outside Antenna
Pole Mounting and Wall Mounting Options are included. The pole mounting
option is preferred because it would be easier to adjust to the direction
of the cell tower.
Attach the L-Bracket to the Outside Antenna and use the U-Bolts/Pole Bracket
to attach the L-Bracket to a pole.
NOTE: Mounting on existing roof exhaust pipe would
be a good time-saver option.
