The N-Range works with two antennas:
An inside antenna that communicates with your cell phone. An outside antenna that communicates with the cell tower. Signals sent from a cell tower are received by the outside antenna, amplified by the integrated booster and then sent to your cell phone via the inside antenna. When your phone transmits, the signal is sent back to the cell tower. 3 www.SureCall.com | 1-888-365-6283 | support@surecall.com SureCall N-Range User Guide Package Contents Unpack all package contents.

DC Power Adapter 4 www.SureCall.com | 1-888-365-6283 | support@surecall.com SureCall N-Range User Guide Step 1: Place N-Range Antenna on the Vehicles Roof Choose a location on the exterior of your vehicle that is toward the back and at least a 12-inches from obstructions and other radiating elements, such as a radio antenna. Note: For non-metal vehicle surfaces, use the provided optional adhesive tape following the directions below. Next, run the cable from the outside antenna across the cars roof and into the car. To hide and protect the antenna cable, carefully pull down the door seal, run cable underneath it and push the seal back into place. Run the cable to the inside of the vehicle near the planned location of the booster (under the seat of the vehicle, or in the front or middle console). Note: The outside antenna must not be collocated or operating with any other antenna or booster. Installation Using Adhesive Tape Note, For applications that require a more secure mount or where mounting surface is not metal, an optional adhesive mount has also been included with your kit. Find a flat and horizontal surface toward the back of your vehicle that is at least 12-inches from obstructions and other radiating elements, such as a radio antenna. Use the alcohol pad to clean the mounting location. Apply the tape as soon as possible after cleaning to avoid contaminants. Remove backing from one side of the adhesive mount and press firmly to bottom of antenna. Remove the backing from the adhesive strip and press the N-Range antenna down firmly onto the mounting location. 5 www.SureCall.com | 1-888-365-6283 | support@surecall.com SureCall N-Range User Guide Step 2. Mount Cradle Antenna & Connect Components Identify a location for the inside antenna on or near your front dashboard that is 1. Within 2-3 feet of the typical cell phone location 2. At least 8 inches (20cm) from cellular devices and 3. At least 4 inches (10cm) from metal Attach adhesive metal plate to mobile phone for a secure magnetic hold. 1. Place the magnetic cradle antenna on an air-vent, in your cup-holder or center-console. 2. Route the cable from the antenna to the location of the N-Range cable connector. We recommend running the cable under the floor-mats or beneath the cars molding for a professional look. 3. Join cables and hand tighten. 4. Adhere one of the magnetic stickers to the back of your phone or phone-case and place your phone on the magnetic cradle antenna. Magnetic plate Vent clip Metal plate N-Range antenna cable connector IMPORTANT: The antenna must be located at least 8 inches from all persons. The FCC requires to never use the cell phone in the cradle next to your ear. 6 www.SureCall.com | 1-888-365-6283 | support@surecall.com SureCall N-Range User Guide Step 3. Connect To Power 1. Plug the DC Power Adapter into power port of your car. 2. Switch the Power Switch to On and a red light will illuminate on the adapter. 3. The cradle antenna will illuminate a green light when it is receiving power. Note: Your phone will only receive the enhanced signal when it is placed on the cradle antenna. When your car is off, turn the power switch to OFF to keep the booster from continuing to draw power from your vehicle. Power switch Cable to booster Power LED Power connector 7 www.SureCall.com | 1-888-365-6283 | support@surecall.com Troubleshooting Signal booster has no power SureCall N-Range User Guide Verify that the Power LED is ON. Connect the power supply to an alternate power source. Verify that the power source is operational and the fuse is intact. If it remains OFF, contact tech support at:
1-888-365-6283 or support@surecall.com After completing installation, signal has not Improved Verify that cable connections are tightly fitted to the booster. Note: Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to confirm signal coverage is the ability to place and hold a call. Specifications Product Uplink Frequency Range (MHz):
