Step 1
Find the location with the best 3G, 4G or 4G LTE

Booster system is to nd the location in your home or
oce with the best 3G, 4G or 4G LTE signal. Use your
phone to identify the area with the most bars of signal.

highest oor of your home or oce. Make sure a 3G,
4G or 4G LTE icon is displayed on your handset.

outlet near the area with the strongest 3G, 4G or 4G
LTE signal. (Note: both of the power supplies in your
kit are identical.) Make sure that at least one bar is
displayed on the signal strength indicator on the
front of the Window Unit. If you do not see at least
one bar, try a dierent location.
