RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2 – (transmitters)
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum
(or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users,
the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful communication.
Package Contents
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionneravec une antenne
d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention desautres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type
d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotroperayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité
nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2 – (detachable antennas)
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certication number, or model number if Category II)has been approved
by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required
antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than
the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (identier le dispositif par son numéro de certication ou son numéro de modèle s’il fait
partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne
énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les
types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste,ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement
interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
RF Radiation Exposure
This equipment complies with RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment
should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of UL : 40cm, DL : 20cm between the radiator and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. RF exposure
will be addressed at time of installation and the use of higher gain antennas require larger separation distances.

Troubleshooting
Instructions to x ashing 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 LED’s has ashing or solid red, your voice signal is weak and data speeds are low,
Then follow the troubleshooting steps below.
1. Unplug the Signal Booster’s power adapter.
2. Check if the outside antenna and Home 3000 signal booster 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 ashing or solid red, then try
moving the signal booster 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 diculties with installation or troubleshooting the Signal Booster, please contact
our technical support team for assistance (Tel : 913-469-6699).
LED’s O
1. If none of the LEDs on the Home 3000 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 Booster’s connector.
STEP 2. Install the Outside Antenna
The outside antenna is shaped like a triangle. This antenna must be mounted as high as possible
on the exterior of the house or oce, but never higher than 10m above the ground.
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 signal booster.

Separation Between Outside Antenna and Signal Booster
For the best performance, the outside antenna and the signal booster should be a minimum
distance of 20 ft. apart from each other. A bigger separation between outside antenna and
signal booster will provide a stronger signal and better coverage.

the instructions described in STEP 1.
Make sure outside antenna is installed with the point of the triangle facing toward the cell tower.

Flashing Green
After the Signal Booster is powered on, ashing 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 ashing 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.
Solid Orange
If one or more LEDs are solid orange, it means that the input signal from the nearby cell tower is between
-25dBm and -30dBm (very strong). In this event, we recommend that you reposition the outside antenna
to point in a dierent direction to weaken the signal. If the rest of the LEDs are green and you have a
strong signal and fast data speeds on your cell phone, then troubleshooting is not needed.
Flashing & Solid Red
If one or more of the LEDs is ashing or solid red, this indicates that the input signal from the nearby
cell tower is too strong.
After ashing 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 5. Install the Signal Booster
STEP 3. Run the Outside Antenna Cable
Home 3000 has a 360° directional bar antenna. It means you can put the booster on the table
or oor or any other place you would like to. Home 3000 can also be attached to the wall,
using provided wall-mount brackets.
