Step
4.
Attach
DC
Power
Cable
‐
Attach
small
end
of
the
12V
DC
Power
Cable
to
the
Amplifier
Unit.
Insert
the
remaining
end
of
12V
DC
Power
Cable
into
a
12V
(cigarette
lighter)
Port
within
vehicle.
NOTE:
To
avoid
draining
battery,
when
the
ignition
is
off,
check
that
Amplifier
is
not
receiving
power
with
vehicle
turned
off.
The
Amplifier’s
LED
should
be
off
when
the
vehicle
is
off.
To
turn
off
Amplifier,
depress
the
switch
on
12V
DC
CL
Adapter.
Step
5.
Examine
LED
light
on
Amplifier
‐
The
LED
light
on
the
Amplifier
Unit
indicates
the
unit
is
powered
and
the
unit’s
operating
status.
Attempt
to
achieve
the
optimal
signal
enhancement
when
positioning
both
Antennas
before
making
the
Antenna
placement
permanent.
Once
powered,
the
Amplifier
LED
should
be
Green.
Be
sure
that
all
cell
phones
in
the
vicinity
of
the
Amplifier
are
turned
off
during
installation.
Attach
both
Antennas
and
position
them
to
achieve
a
Green
LED.
Green
LED
–
Optimal
signal
enhancement
Red
LED
–
Poor
signal
enhancement
If
you
are
receiving
a
Red
LED
even
after
trying
different
Antenna
positions,
try
powering
the
unit
off
and
on
again.
If
the
Antennas
are
connected
and
too
close
to
each
other
when
the
Amplifier
Unit
is
turned
on,
it
will
be
impossible
to
achieve
a
Green
LED.
Step
6.
Achieve
Optimal
Enhancement
‐
Once
your
LED
is
Green,
you
may
permanently
affix
both
the
Magnetic
Mount
and
Patch
Antenna.
If
LED
is
Red,
adjust
the
position
of
the
Magnetic
Mount
Antenna
or
Interior
Patch
Antenna
until
the
LED
is
Green.
Step
7.
Quick
System
Check
‐
Put
your
cell
phone
antenna
directly
next
to
the
Patch
Antenna.
See
how
many
signal
strength
bars
you
have.
Next,
turn
the
system
off
(either
turn
vehicle
off
or
press
on/off
switch).
You
should
notice
a
decrease
in
signal
bar
strength.
The
exception
is
if
you
are
in
an
area
where,
with
the
system
off,
your
phone
is
at
full
signal
strength.
Please
note
when
you
turn
the
system
on,
if
your
phone
is
receiving
maximum
signal
strength
you
will
not
see
a
difference.
In
order
for
this
quick
test
to
work,
you
will
need
to
test
unit
in
a
less
than
maximum
signal
strength
area.
