How It Works

The SureCall N-Range is a cellular signal booster that enhances cellular signals for a single
device in your vehicle.
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, amplied 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.

Step 1: Place N-Range Antenna on the Vehicle’s 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
car’s 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 at 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.
after cleaning to avoid contaminants.
Remove backing from one side of the adhesive mount and press rmly to bottom of
antenna.
Remove the backing from the adhesive strip and press the N-Range antenna down rmly
onto the mounting location.

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 oor-mats or beneath the car’s 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.

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.

Troubleshooting

Signal booster has no power
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 tted to the booster.
Note: Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to conrm signal
coverage is the ability to place and hold a call.

CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B) (Canada) :
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
The Manufacturer’s 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.
Cet appareillage numérique de la classe B répond a toutes les exigencies de l’interférence canadienne causant des réglements d’équipment. L’opération est sujette aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) ce dispositif peut ne pas causer l’interférence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter n’importe quelle intérference reçue, y compris l’intérference qui peut causer l’opération peu désirée.
La puissance de sortie nominale indiquée par le fabricant pour cet appareil concerne son fonctionnement avec porteuse unique. Pour des appareils avec porteuses multiples, on doit réduire la valeur nominale de 3,5 dB, surtout si le signal de sortie est retransmis et qu’il peut causer du brouillage aux utilisateurs de bandes adjacentes. Une telle réduction doit porter sur la
puissance d’entrée ou sur le gain, et ne doit pas se faire au moyen d’un atténuateur raccordé à la sortie du dispositif.
