Rest this piece near the cigarette lighter, 12V power port in your vehicle.
(There is no need for the wall power supply for vehicle use.) Step 2 Insert the cable attached to the phone cradle into the port labeled VDC located on the back of the 5BARz unit. Place the back of the 5BARz unit close to the windshield, hiding the cable whenever possible. 1 Step 3 Adhere Velcro strips to the bottom of the 5BARz Road Warrior unit and affix the counterpart Velcro adhesive strip to the dashboard. Connect the Velcro on the unit to the Velcro on the dashboard so the unit is secure.* See Important notes Step 4 Plug the connected phone cradle/cigarette adapter into the cigarette lighter pushing down to make sure it connects. The arm of the adapter is bendable to fit your vehicles area. Place your turned-on phone in the cradle and adjust the side clasps to fit snuggly by depressing the clasp release on the side of the cradle and adjusting the clasps in and out as needed. Step 5 Find the on/off switch on the side of the phone cradle and turn the unit on and start the car. The blue LED light on the front of the 5BARz should be on within 10 seconds. Observe the bars on your phone as you turn the 5BARzTM on -- With the phone in the holder, you should see an increase in bars in approximately 10 seconds. Now you have more BARz for better reception and are ready to use your phone and your Bluetooth device, headset or speakerphone. Note: The 12-Volt source that is providing power may not power off when you turn your car off. If the power to the 5BARz is on when the vehicle is turned off, unplug or switch off the 5BARz when leaving the vehicle continuous operation without the engine running will drain the battery after some period of time (typically one day or more.) Note: If multiple cigarette lighter sockets are available, try each to determine which location offers the best performance as measured by BARz on the phone. Important notes:
Note: The cigarette lighter power supply and phone cradle must be installed at least 20 cm (or approximately 8-inches) away from all persons during normal operation to comply with the FCCs radiofrequency radiation exposure requirement. Note: Do not place over an airbag. Please check with your states regulatory requirements for placement of a device on the dashboard. Note: It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the 5BARz Road Warrior unit is safely secured to the dashboard. Mount the 5BARz on an area of the dashboard where passengers cannot be injured if the 5BARz separates from the dashboard. III. Quick steps to use indoors The 5BARz Road Warrior was originally designed for in-vehicle use, however our customers found it also works great indoors. If you want to use the 5BARz Road Warrior indoors at your home, office or hotel room, please remember it was not designed to cover the whole room. The Road Warrior works best indoors when resting in the cradle a blue-tooth enabled headset will give you increased mobility within 10-15 feet of the 5BARz unit. 2 Step 1 Place the 5BARz Road Warrior in the area where you want more BARz -- usually the closer to a window the better the performance. Step 2 Insert the cable attached to the phone cradle into the port labeled VDC located on the back of the 5BARz. Place the phone cradle as far apart from the 5BARz as the cable will stretch for optimal performance. Step 3 Pry open the easel-like stand on the back of the cradle to hold the phone cradle in an upright position. Place your turned-on phone in the cradle and adjust the side clasps to fit snuggly by depressing the clasp release on the side of the cradle and adjusting the clasps in and out as needed. (There is no need for the cigarette lighter adapter for indoor use.) Step 4 Insert the cord from the wall mount power supply line into the power port on the back of the 5BARz. Next, plug the power supply into the wall socket (use an extension cord for longer distances). Once the unit is plugged in you will see the blue LED lights in about 10 seconds. Observe the bars on your phone after you plug in the 5BARz. With the phone resting in the holder, you should see an increase in bars in approximately 10 seconds. Now you have more BARz for better reception and are ready to use your phone and Bluetooth device, headset or speakerphone. Important Notes Note: The phone holder must be placed at least 20 cm (or approximately 8-inches) away from all persons during normal operation to comply with the FCCs radiofrequency radiation exposure requirement. Note: For optimal performance place 5BARz in the location with the best serving signal as indicated on your phone.

Technical Information as required by Canada RSS-131 The nominal input and output impedance of the 5BARz Road Warrior is 50 Ohms. 5 Frequency, Gain and Power Specifications Band Operating Channel Frequency Band Nominal Max Operational Nominal Bandwidth Rated Mean Output Power Gain Cellular Downlink 869 894 MHz 45 dB 38 MHz 80 mW Cellular Uplink 824 849 MHz PCS Downlink 1930 1990 MHz PCS Uplink 1850 1910 MHz 42 dB 45 dB 42 dB 42 MHz 125 mW 77 MHz 82 MHz 70 mW 85 mW The Manufacturers rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device. The 5BARz Road Warrior has internal gain control that ensures that the output power will not exceed the requirements as specified in the paragraph above. Antenna Requirements This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain as shown in the chart below specifying maximum allowed antenna gains. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than the listed gains are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohms.
