Make sure you have positioned the booster in a window with the strongest signal close enough to an existing electrical outlet. Step 2. Make sure you have sufficient cable length between proposed inside antenna location and booster connector. Installation Overview Step 1. Find the window area that has the strongest signal. (See page 7 for instruction) Step 2. Install the inside antenna. (See page 8 for instruction) Step 3. Mount the signal booster, connect the inside antenna cable to the signal booster, and connect the booster to an AC power source. (See page 9 for instruction) Step 4. Configure gain settings on the signal booster if needed. Step 1. Find the area with the Strongest Signal The signal booster requires a minimum cellular signal of low –100 dBm to high –90 dBm. Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -85). The stronger the EZBoost signal, the closer it gets to zero. Aim for a signal close to -50 dB. Signals stronger than -50 dB may cause the booster to shut down (see the graph below). Before installing the outside antenna, find the area with the strongest cellular signal source from your service provider by following the directions below. You can also go to www.antennasearch.com to find the general location of your carrier’s towers. Measure the strength of the existing cellular signal in various locations • Apple iPhones: Dial*3001# 12345#* and press Call. In the top-left corner, a number appears instead of bars. •A ndroid devices: download apps such as “Network Signal Info” in the Google Play store to measure signal strength. Search check real signal strength to find other cell signal measurement apps. • Internet: go to www.speedtest.net Poor Good -60dB -50dB -70dB -80dB -90dB -100dB -110dB Signal Strength Excellent Cell Tower Outside Antenna 2. Select a window sill location away from buildings, walls, trees, hills, and other terrain features that can block or reflect wireless signals with the strongest signal. Note: Where you install your booster in relation to the carrier’s cell phone tower also determines signal strength. Although cell phone arriers try to place towers for maximum coverage, local ordinances and terrain features can restrict tower locations, which can limit signal strength at your location.

Install the Inside Antenna Step 4. Install the Signal Booster For areas of 1000 square feet and below allow 30-35 feet of separation between the booster and the desktop antenna. 1.Select a location close to a working AC outlet. Do not expose the signal booster to excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture, and airtight enclosures. In areas where there are higher temperatures, install the booster vertically, so air can move between the metal channels on the faceplate. 2. Use supplied screws or appropriate screws for surface of mounting location and drill through screw tabs holes on boosters. 3. Connect the inside antenna cable to the signal booster connector marked INSIDE (see page 14). Hand-tighten the connection. 4. Connect the AC power cord to the signal booster. 5. Connect the plug on the other end of the 110V AC power outlet. 6. Turn the booster’s power switch on. • The signal booster turns on automatically. • The Power LED lights up to show that the signal booster is ready for use. • The Alert LED flash up to 15 seconds on each band to show the band is activated The range of the antenna is dependent on three factors: 1) physical obstructions, 2) power generated by booster 3) reception from outside signal received and distributed by outside antenna. •S torage and transportation: Store and place in non-extreme room-temperature and dry environment • Attention: This antenna should not be used near open fire or flame Note: If the Power LED does not turn ON or the Alert LEDs continue to flash, see Troubleshooting page 11-12. This booster is rated for 5-15V input voltage. DO NOT use the booster with a higher voltage power supply. This can damage the booster, cause personal injury, and void your warranty. Booster Inside Antenna 1. The back of the booster should be pointed in the direction of the nearest cell tower. Go to www.antennasearch.com for information. 2. Place the table-top antenna in a central location at least 20 feet from the booster. 3. To set the attenuation value please use the chart below for reference. Distance between antenna and equipment Distance between antenna and equipment Attenuation value 10-20 feet 20-35 feet 15-20 dB 10-15 dB 35-50 feet Warning: Window films that are used to block UV rays also block cellular signals. When using a cellular signal booster with a home comprised of film-coated windows a booster that comes with an outdoor antenna must be used.

Configure Gain Settings The following image shows the key hardware components on the cellullar booster. Refer to this image as you install your EZBoost 4G kit components. 1. Find the PCS, Cellular, and LTE/AWS dials on top of the signal booter. 2. Set the dials according to the coverage area and the distance between the indoor and outdoor antennas (see next page) Alert Alert Alert Alert Alert LTE-A LTE-V CELLULAR PCS AWS 44 39 OFF 49 54 59 64 dB Gain If Coverage Area is ... 44 39 OFF 49 54 59 64 dB Gain 45 40 OFF 50 55 60 65 dB Gain 52 47 OFF 57 62 67 72 dB Gain And Antenna Separation is ... 1000 square feet and below 30 - 35 feet 51 46 OFF 56 61 66 71 dB Gain Set All Dial to ... 60 Lighting type Indication Green light ON: Power up. OFF: No power. Yellow light ON: Uplink inactivity in that band. OFF: Working properly. Yellow light blinking Blinking: AGC operating. OFF: Working properly. If you Want to Improve Coverage Red light blinking: Shut down due to over-powering. OFF: Working properly. 1. Find a location that receives a stronger signal and relocate the outside antenna to that location. 2. Increase the distance between the outside and inside antennas. 3. Be sure your signal booster’s dB gain is turned up to maximum gain on each dial. Red light blinking Red light yellow light alternately blinking Red light and yellow light blinking: Self-oscillating. OFF: Working properly. Note: As you can see from the table above, acquiring the recommended indoor and outdoor antenna separation optimizes coverage significantly. Any reduced antenna separation reduces the booster’s cellular signal capabilities. WARNING: Do not adjust the uplink and downlink dB attenuation settings more than 20dB. This could cause the booster to shut down 10 SureCall | 48346 Milmont Drive, Fremont CA 94538 | 1-888-365-6283 | sales@surecall.com SureCall | 48346 Milmont Drive, Fremont CA 94538 | 1-888-365-6283 | sales@surecall.com 11 Troubleshooting Specification Problem Resolution Specification EZBoost 4G LED flashing yellow This means that the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is adjusting which is part of the boosters normal operation Uplink Frequency Range (MHz): 824-849 / 1850-1910 Downlink Frequency Range (MHz): 869-894 / 1930-1990 Supported Standards: CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, EDGE, HSPA+, EVDO, LTE and all cellular standards Input/Output Impedance: 50 ohm Maximum Gain: 65dB-Cellular / 72dB- PCS Noise Figure: 7dB Each SureCall signal booster is equipped with Auto Shutdown to prevent cell tower interference.

The red LED goes ON. Signal coming into booster from cellular tower is too strong causing the booster to automatically shut down. There are two possible solutions: 1. Add an inline attenuator to the cable coming into the booster 2. R elocate the EZBoost to a location where the signal is weaker. The Power LED does not turn ON. Be sure the AC outlet is working and is not controlled by a wall switch that can cut power to the outlet. Yellow/Red Flashing LED Oscillation is detected. First try increasing the separation between the indoor and outdoor antennas. If this doesn’t eliminate oscillation, lower the dB gain in 5dB increments. The Alert LEDs continue to flash. The signal booster shuts down automatically, and then restarts after 60 seconds. Turn down the PCS or Cellular dial that is oscillating to prevent the signal booster from shutting down automatically. This may indicate that additional antenna separation is needed. Your signal booster has no power. Verify that the switch on the power supply is turned on and Green LED is ON.
