(dBm) Weak signal Less weak signal Good signal Very good signal Excellent signal Instructions to fix flashing or solid red. If you have a good voice signal and fast data speeds even though one or two of LEDs are solid red, you may continue to use the Signal Booster as it is. However, if one of the LEDs has flashing or solid red, your voice signal is weak and data speeds are low, Then follow the troubleshooting steps below. 1. Unplug the Signal Boosters power adapter. 2. Check if the outside antenna and inside antenna are located a minimum distance of 20 feet from each other. 3. Plug the Signal Booster into a power source. 4. Check the LED on the Signal Booster. If one or two of the LEDs are still flashing or solid red, then try moving the inside antenna further away from the outside antenna and repeat steps 1 through 3 to see if the additional distance resolves the problem. 5. If you have any difficulties with installation or troubleshooting the Signal Booster, please contact our technical support team for assistance (Tel : 913-469-6699). LEDs Off 1. If none of the LEDs on the Home 7500 Signal booster are lit, verify that the signal booster is connected properly to the AC/DC power adapter cord and then verify that the power adapter is plugged into a live AC outlet in the house. 2. Check if there is any damage in the power cable. 3. Check if there is any damage in the Signal Boosters connector. 8 HOME 7500 User Guide HOME 7500 User Guide 17 HOME 7500 LED LED Indicators Flashing Green After the Signal Booster is powered on, flashing green will last for 20 seconds. It means that the Signal Booster is being set up for optimal performance. The Signal Booster will need a few minutes to adapt to the network environment and start boosting the signal at the highest power. The Signal Booster provides a real-time self-diagnosis, so in case of flashing or solid red, refer to the Troubleshooting instructions on the next page. Solid Green This indicates that the Signal Booster has been installed and works properly. Flashing & Solid Red If one or more of the LEDs is flashing or solid red, this indicates that the input signal from the nearby cell tower is too strong. After flashing red for 10 seconds the solid red will appear. Signal Booster will stop amplifying signals of the frequency with a solid red indicator automatically to prevent the Booster from any damage. If the rest of LEDs are green and you have a strong signal and fast data speeds on your cell phone or tablet, then troubleshooting is not needed. STEP 1. Find the Strongest Signal Note The stronger signal you receive from the base station, the better coverage you will have inside your house/office.

-70dBm

-90dBm If you have -70dBm outside signal, then you will have an excellent signal inside your house or office. 16 HOME 7500 User Guide HOME 7500 User Guide 9 If you have -90dBm outside signal, then you will have a good signal inside your house & office. STEP 2. Install the Outside Antenna STEP 6. Power up the Booster The outside antenna is shaped like a triangle. This antenna must be mounted as high as possible on the exterior of the house or office. Mount the outside antenna on the side of the house where you detected the strongest cell phone signal. The point of the antenna triangle should be pointed towards the location of the strongest cell phone signal (which should also be the direction of the closest cell tower) and away from the expected placement of the inside antenna. Separation Between Outside Antenna and Inside Antenna For the best performance, the outside antenna and the inside antenna should be a minimum distance of 20 ft. apart from each other. A bigger separation between outside antenna and inside antenna will provide a stronger signal and better coverage. From Outside Antenna Cable 75 ft. Antenna Separation 20 ft. From Inside Antenna Cable 60 ft. Connect the AC/DC power adaptor to the booster and plug into a power source. The power LED will light, indicating that the signal booster is ready for use. 10 HOME 7500 User Guide HOME 7500 User Guide 15 STEP 5. Install the Signal Booster STEP 2. Install the Outside Antenna Choose a location for the signal booster, preferably away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and free from high temperatures. Do not place the signal booster in an air-tight enclosure. Attic installations may expose the booster to high heat. Install the outside antenna in a location where you can receive the strongest signal according to the instructions described in STEP 1. Make sure outside antenna is installed with the point of the triangle facing toward the cell tower. 2 1 1 3 PH(+) 3/16 1 Tapping Screw Plastic expansion bolt 14 HOME 7500 User Guide HOME 7500 User Guide 11 STEP 3. Run the Outside Antenna Cable STEP 4. Install the Inside Antenna Inside Panel Antenna is directional, so the signal will be distributed from its front side in one direction. We would not recommend to install the Inside Antenna close to the floor. When mounting the outside antenna to the outside wall of your building, the easiest way is to run the cable on the outside of the wall and attach it to the exterior of your house or office. Then drill a hole through the wall which will allow the cable to appear on the inside of the building. To avoid any potential harm or damage, make sure that there are no electrical outlets, sewer water pipes, or electrical wiring in the wall before drilling. Note TV cables already being used for other purposes can not be shared with the cell booster during installation. After drilling the required hole, run the cable through and seal it. In some instances, it may be possible to run the cable up into the fascia of the attic overhang. In this circumstance, the cable will be accessible in the attic further routing. Attach the bracket to wall Outside Antenna to 75 ft. cable Tap anchors Inside Antenna wall To Inside Antenna Cable (60 ft.) Mount the Inside Antenna with the included screws and bracket as shown in the picture. Note The inside antenna should be installed a minimum distance of 20 ft. from the outside antenna. 12 HOME 7500 User Guide HOME 7500 User Guide 13
