How it works
The SureCall Fusion2Go is a high-quality bidirectional booster that enhances cellular
signals for cars, motor homes, and other vehicles.
The Fusion2Go 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, amplied by the
booster and then sent to your cell phone via the inside antenna. When your phone
transmits, the signal is sent to the inside antenna, and then sent to the cell tower via
the outside antenna. A minimum amount of cellular reception is required for the
Fusion2Go to work properly. Cellular signal strength is measured in dBm, an
abbreviation of the radio power per milliwatt. A minimum of -100 dBm is required.
Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -85). The stronger
the signal, the closer it gets to zero. See graph below.

Installation
Installation Steps:
Step 1. Installing your Hardware
Connect the Outside Antenna
1. Connect the magnetic outside antenna to the roof of the car in a location that:
• Is on top of the vehicle
• Has at least a 12-inch radius clear of obstructions and other radiating elements, such as a radio antenna.
• Is at least 4-6 feet from the inside antenna.
2. Using the supplied cable, connect the outside antenna to the booster connector
marked OUTSIDE.
3. Run the outside antenna cord across the car’s roof and under the front door insulation
lining to hide and protect the antenna cable. Wrap up any loose cable
4. Hand tighten the connection
Note: The outside antenna must not be collocated or operating with any other antenna or booster.

FCC 27.5 (d)(4) Statement: Fixed, mobile, and portable (hand-held) stations operating in the 1710-1755 MHz band as well as mobile and portable stations operat­ing in the 1695-1710 MHz and 1755-1780 MHz bands are limited to 1 watt EIRP. Fixed stations operating in the 1710-1755 MHz band are limited to a maximum antenna height of 10 meters above ground. Mobile and portable stations operating in these bands must employ a means for limiting power to the minimum neces­sary for successful communications.

Installation
Step 2. Connect the Inside Antenna
1. Mount the inside antenna so it is:
• Within 2-3 feet of the cell phone, or directly to the back of the cell phone.
• Mounted on a surface that is at least 4” (10cm) away from metal.
2. Using the supplied cable, connect the antenna to the booster connector marked INSIDE
3. Hand tighten the connection
Step 3. Install the Signal Booster
1. Mount the booster under the seat of the vehicle, or on the front or middle console of the vehicle. The location you select should:
• Be away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, or moisture.
• Provide proper ventilation.
Refer to the illustration on page 7 for the following steps:
2. Connect the outside antenna cable to the signal booster connector marked OUTSIDE. Hand-tighten the connection.
3. Connect the inside antenna cable to the signal booster connector marked INSIDE. Hand-tighten the connection.
4. Connect the DC power cord to the signal booster. Once you’ve connected the DC power cord to the signal booster, connect the plug on the other end of the DC power outlet to the cigarette lighter adapter.Turn the 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 LEDs ash 5 times on each band to show the band is activated.
Note: Laboratory tests show that patch antennas can work from as close as 2 ft. from the outside antenna if the patch antenna is facing away from the
outside antenna. If the alert lights blink red, showing oscillation, turn the dial of the oscillating band down 3 dBs.

Troubleshooting
In the event you encounter a problem, follow the suggestions below to resolve the issue.
Problem Resolution
Signal booster has no power
Verify that the booster switch is turned on. Make sure the DC power outlet is plugged into the cigarette lighter adapter. If the green POWER LED on the signal booster is OFF, return the power supply to SureCall. Contact tech support at 1-888-365-6283 or support@surecall.com, or go to www.surecall. com and log on to online support to receive a Return Merchandise Authorization. (RMA)
After installing your signal booster system, you have no signal or reception.
One of the red LEDs next to the dials on your signal booster is ashing red.
The Alert LEDs Continue to ash
Double-check all signal booster and antenna cable connections. Be sure your signal booster’s dB gain is turned up to at least 40 dB
- 45 dB on each dial.
Lower the dial above the blinking LED by 5dB (for example, from 50 to 45) and monitor the bars on your cell phone to see whether reception has improved. Be sure the inside panel antenna is facing away from the outside
antenna.
Use the recommended 4-6 feet of antenna separation:
Each SureCall signal booster is equipped with Auto Shutdown to prevent cell tower interference. The location where your car is parked may be too close to a cell tower. Once away from the origi­nal location, the booster will restart automatically.
