Supports 700 MHz (FirstNet Ready), 800 MHz and 900 MHz SMR
The SureCall Guardian3 QR signal booster is a 90.219 Class B Device. Under Section 90.219(d)(5) of the Commission’s rules, all Part 90 Class B signal booster installations must be registered with the FCC. In February 2013, as part of the Commission’s efforts to support the continued use of signal boosters in the Private Land Mobile Radio Services and Public Safety Radio Services, the Commission adopted a registration requirement for existing and future Part 90 Class B signal booster installations. The Commission found that a Class B signal booster registration system would be a valuable tool to help resolve interference should it occur.
All Part 90 licensees and signal-booster operators must register existing Part 90 Class B signal boosters with the Commission by November 1, 2014. In addition, any new Class B signal booster installed after November 1, 2014 must be registered prior to operation.
Filing Registrations. To register a Part 90 Class B signal booster, go to the Part 90 Signal Booster Registration and Discovery page at www.fcc.gov/signal-boosters/registration. Enter an FCC Registration Number (FRN) and Password in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then click on “LOGIN.”
On the Signal Booster Information page, enter either (1) latitude and longitude (in decimal degrees) of the booster location and click on the “Get Address Info” button; or (2) the booster, city, and state, and click on the “Get Lat/Long button. The registration tool will provide a map of the booster location to verify the location is correct. Next, check the box(es) for the frequencies within the operating range of the signal booster and enter at least one call sign associated with the booster.
Then enter the ler’s Company Information (Company Name, Company Attention, Address, Email registration, enter Signature Information (Title, Name), and click “Submit.” The system will generate a conrmation, including a booster ID
number, which you may print for your records. Each booster must be submitted separately. Using the links in the upper-
right corner of the Signal Booster Conrmation page, you can “Add a Booster,” “View Your Boosters” or “Log out.”
Accessing Registrations. Each registration will be available to the public on the same day it is led with the Commission. Registrations may be accessed at: www.fcc.gov/signal-boosters/registration. Click on “View All Boosters” from the Part 90 Signal Booster Registration and Discovery page. The registrations can be searched and sorted by booster ID number,
name of the ler, city, county, state, zip code, latitude/longitude, or call sign.
For further information please contact the FCC Licensing Support Hotline at (877) 480-3201 or submit an online help request at https://esupport.ffc.gov/onlinerequest.htm. Support hours are Monday thru Friday, 8:00–6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, except for Federal holidays.

1.6 How it Works
The Guardian3 QR amplies signals that reach a building from the nearest radio tower, and from radios inside the
building going back to the tower. This compensates for weak reception caused by distance, topography, building
structure, etc. The BDA receives the signal from an outside antenna, amplies that signal, and then rebroadcasts it
via antenna(s) inside the building, where it can then be picked up by radios inside. In the reverse direction, interior
antennas also pick up signals coming from radios, where they are amplied by the BDA, and then passed to the
exterior antenna for rebroadcast back to the tower.
1.7 FCC and IC Compliance
This is a Class B device. The product has been tested and found to comply with the Booster Requirements per FCC Part 90. The product has also been tested and found to comply with the Industry Canada (IC) RF Exposure Requirements, pursuant to IC RSS-131.
1.8 Single vs. Multiple Carrier Operation
SureCall’s rated output power of this equipment is for single-carrier operation. It is recommended that you factor in loss when dealing with multiple carrier signals. We suggest 3 to 5 db loss factor.
1.9 A Word About Safety
Follow all safety precautions in this manual. This information is designed to prevent personal injury, equipment
malfunction, and/or radio interference. You are responsible for ensuring a safe installation.
Your installation may require working in high locations such as roofs and/or ladders. Follow applicable safety
regulations and best practices to avoid falling. Take care not to drop objects from any high area. Cordon off ground areas directly below the section of roof you are working on, or below your ladder whenever possible.

Planning the Installation
CHAPTER 3: PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
3.1 Installation Overview
Typically, a BDA installation follows these steps:
1. Decide what type of exterior antenna to use, and where to mount it. You will use either an omnidirectional antenna,
mounted vertically, or a directional Yagi antenna, pointed directly at the radio tower (line of sight). The antenna will
normally be mounted on the wall or roof of the building with the strongest signal. A grounded lightning protector is
required between the exterior antenna and the BDA.
2. Decide where to mount the interior antenna(s), being sure to take separation requirements into account. Long,
narrow spaces benet most from directional at-panel antennas, while more square spaces benet more from
omnidirectional dome antennas.
3. Decide where to mount the BDA. This should be in a secure indoor location near a grounded power source.
4. Decide where to route the cables between the exterior antenna and the BDA and between the BDA and interior
antennas.
5. Install the antennas as described in their respective Installation Manuals.
6. Route the cables to the BDA location.
7. Install the BDA as described in this manual.
8. Power on the BDA and perform conguration and testing explained in Chapter 5.
Important Installation Safety Precautions:
CAUTION: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL A
LIGHTNING PROTECTOR CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO THE BDA, ANTENNAS, AND WIRING.
• Some components may be heavy and/or bulky. Always use proper lifting and carrying techniques when handling
components, especially when working on a ladder, roof, or other area with a fall hazard.
• The exterior antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna.
• Always use a properly installed SureCall lightning protector between the exterior antenna and the BDA.
• Always power off the BDA before working on the roof of the building, or anywhere in close proximity to the external antenna.
15
• Allow at least 24 inches (60cm) of separation between interior antennas and humans or animals.
• Allow at least 24 inches (60cm) of separation between exterior antennas and all persons.
• Comply with all antenna separation requirements to prevent signal oscillation.
CAUTION: SIGNAL OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE
RADIO INTERFERENCE WITH RADIO TOWERS AND
RESULT IN CIVIL AND/OR CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
3.2 Exterior Antenna
You may use either an omnidirectional antenna that covers at areas with no obstructions or a directional Yagi antenna to point directly at the tower. The omnidirectional antenna receives and transmits signals over a horizontal 360-degree circle. The Yagi antenna receives and transmits signals over a focused area and must be aimed directly (line of sight)
toward the radio tower that provides the strongest signal to the building.
The exterior antenna and mast (if any) must be mounted in a location that meets all of the following criteria:
• Best signal strength.
• Not co-located with other antennas or used in conjunction with other antennas.
• Away from all power lines.
• At least 6 ft. from lightning rod antennas.
• At least 24 in. from any person.
Planning the Installation
16
These distances are general guidelines only. Refer to the applicable building and electrical codes in your area to
determine specic local requirements.
3.3 Interior Antennas
You may use any combination of omnidirectional (dome) and/or directional (at panel) interior antennas to obtain
balanced signal strength throughout the structure.
Dome antennas provide 360-degree hemispherical coverage suitable for mostly square areas, while at panel anten­nas provide a focused zone of coverage suitable for long narrow areas. The example above uses two dome antennas
and one panel antenna to provide full coverage
Keep in mind that oor structures in multistory buildings can cause signicant signal loss, which means that you may need to install interior antennas on more than one oor. Here is an example of a multistory installation:
Planning the Installation
17
Planning the Installation
Note: You may not need antennas on every oor of a multistory building, depending on factors such as building
material, BDA gain, etc.
3.4 Antenna Separation
Proper antenna separation prevents signal oscillation (feedback) that can interfere with the radio tower. Separation is measured in a straight line from the exterior antenna to the closest interior antenna. The closest allowable distance depends on a number of factors, such as BDA gain level, building material, etc. Recommended separation distances are:
Amplier gain Min. separation (ad)
40 dB 5’-6’
45 dB 15’-20’
50 dB 50’
55 dB 60’
65 dB 75-80’
70 dB 100’
75 dB 100’-120’
80 dB 120’-180’
Vertical separation is more important than horizontal separation. If you are unable to obtain the required separation horizontally, try raising the exterior antenna. You may also try reducing the BDA gain as described in Chapter 5 of this
manual.
18
Planning the Installation
Antenna Safety Precautions:
You can mix and match dome and directional antennas as needed to obtain proper coverage throughout the building or area where you need to boost the signal. If you use a Yagi exterior antenna, you should normally aim it away from
all interior antennas, regardless of separation, to prevent oscillation.
CAUTION: SIGNAL OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE
RADIO INTERFERENCE WITH RADIO TOWERS AND RESULT
IN CIVIL AND/OR CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
OK
Antenna Aiming
3.5 Locating the BDA
Select an indoor location for the BDA that meets the following criteria:
• Wall or ceiling mounts are both acceptable.
• Near a properly grounded 110VAC outlet.
• Avoid in a tightly enclosed or overly hot spaces.
• All power and warning lights are easily visible.
• You can use the shortest cables to connect all antennas.
3.6 Accessories
The nal step in the planning process is to make sure you have all of the necessary accessories to complete the installation. You will need all of the items listed in Chapter 1 of this manual plus some or all of the following:
• Cable clips: Use these to secure the cables to interior and exterior walls/ceilings.
• Appropriately rated sealant/caulking: Use this to waterproof the opening where the cable from the exterior antenna enters the building, if needed.
• Hand and/or power tools: As needed to complete the installation.
• Personal Equipment (PPE): Use all PPE required by local codes and/or best practices to help ensure personal safety during installation.
CAUTION: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING
THAT THE INSTALLATION MEETS ALL APPLICABLE
CODES.
19
Planning the Installation
Note: You may need to obtain a permit from your local building department to install the BDA and antennas. Check
your local building and/or electrical codes.

CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION
4.1 Soft Installation
Perform a “soft” installation of all components to test signal coverage and oscillation before making the installation permanent. Avoid making holes or other permanent attachments during this phase. Refer to Chapter 5 for
conguration and testing instructions. Proceed with nal installation once conguration and testing are complete.
4.2 Exterior Antenna
Mount the exterior antenna in the location you selected when planning. Follow all of the instructions included with the
antenna to ensure that your installation is done properly. Here are a few reminders and essential steps:
• An omnidirectional antenna is always mounted vertically.
• A Yagi antenna is mounted horizontally, and aimed at the desired radio tower (line of sight).
• Mount the antenna.
• Connect a length of cable to the antenna and tighten until hand-tight.
• Run the cable along the planned route.
• Install a properly grounded SC-LP lightning protector.
• Seal any holes you make in the outside of the building with caulking or sealant.
WARNING: FAILURE TO EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN
WORKING IN HIGH AREAS COULD CAUSE A FALL AND
PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH ANY LIVE ELECTRICAL
WIRES OR ALLOW THE ANTENNA OR CABLING TO
TOUCH ANY LIVE ELECTRICAL WIRES.
CAUTION: AVOID AIMING A YAGI ANTENNA TOWARD
ANY INTERIOR ANTENNA.

21
4.3 Interior Antennas
Mount the interior antenna(s) in the location(s) you selected when planning. Follow all instructions included with the antenna(s) to ensure the installation(s) are done properly.
Here are a few reminders and essential steps:
• Dome antennas are mounted on the ceiling as close to the center of the desired coverage area as possible, domed (convex) side pointing down.
• Flat panel antennas should be wall-mounted as close as possible to the center of the wall, or at one end of long narrow space.
• Mount the antenna.
• Connect a length of cable to the antenna and tighten until hand-tight.
• If you are installing multiple antennas, run the cable to the splitter location and connect the cable to one of the outputs on the splitter.
• Connect another length of cable to the input side of the splitter (if used) and run this cable to the BDA location.
• It is important to keep the cable runs equal or use taps to ensure a harmonious install.
CAUTION: VERIFY THAT ALL INTERIOR ANTENNAS MEET
THE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS DESCRIBED IN THE
PREVIOUS CHAPTER, AND THAT NO ANTENNA IS AIMED
TOWARD THE EXTERIOR ANTENNA.
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT AN INTERIOR ANTENNA TO
THE SPLITTER INPUT.

4. Plug the DC end of the power adapter into the Power port on the NEMA enclosure.
5. Verify that the green Power light is illuminated.
6. When the booster is turned on, the band lights will ash red and yellow for approximately 10 seconds.
CAUTION: ONLY USE THE POWER SUPPLY INCLUDED
WITH THE BDA. USE OF ANOTHER POWER SUPPLY
COULD DAMAGE THE BDA AND/OR POWER SUPPLY.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROCEED BEYOND THIS POINT
UNTIL THE BDA IS POWERED ON AND NO RED WARNING
LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED.
5.2 DIP Switch Conguration
By default, your booster ships with all DIP switches turned OFF to provide maximum gain in all channels. This should always be your starting point whenever installing or reinstalling the booster. When the booster is turned on, the
band lights will ash red and yellow for approximately 10 seconds. The following diagrams and notes explain how to
interpret, and use, these switch banks.
Conguration and Testing

DIP switch organization
• PS 700 DL DIP switches control 700 band downlink
• PS UL DIP switches control 700 band and 800 band uplink
• PS 800 DL DIP switches control 800 band downlink
• SMR 900 UL DIP switches control 900 band uplink
• SMR 900 UL DIP switches control 900 band downlink
Switches should be OFF unless red ashing lights occur for a channel or channels. Red ashing lights indicate the
system has detected oscillation for the corresponding channel(s). They then turn off if adjustments are not made.
When adjusting the booster, full power is not always the best option. Your goal is to obtain a usable signal in as many
areas of the building as possible.

Additive combination effects:
• Switch 1 (1 dB) + Switch 2 (2 dB) = 3 dB attenuation
• Switch 1 (1 dB) + Switch 2 (2 dB) + Switch 3 (4 dB) = 7 dB attenuation
• Switch 1 (1 dB) + Switch 2 (2 dB) + Switch 3 (4 dB) + Switch 4 (8 dB) = 15 dB attenuation
• Switch 1 (1 dB) + Switch 2 (2 dB) + Switch 3 (4 dB) + Switch 4 (8 dB) + Switch 5 (16 dB) = 31 dB attenuation
Conguration and Testing
25
Conguration and Testing
A few practical examples:
• Turning all switches OFF = 0 dB attenuation (booster is at full gain).
• Turning ON switch #1 in a bank = 1 dB attenuation (booster maximum gain is reduced by 1 dB).
• Turning ON switches #1, 3, and 5 in a bank = 1+4+16 dB attenuation = 21 dB attenuation. For example, in an 80 dB booster, the selected channel is reduced to 59 dB (80 dB -21 dB).
• Turning ON all switches in a bank = 1+2+4+8+16 dB attenuation = 31 dB attenuation. For example, in an 80 dB booster, the selected channel is reduced to 49 dB (80 dB-31 dB).

When the BDA is powered on, the green Power Light (4) should illuminate.
• If any of the bands are oscillating, the corresponding band lights (1,2,3) will ash red and that band will eventually
shut down if adjustments are not made.
Note: In general, the uplink and downlink DIP switches should be set identically but this is not always the case.
5.3 Band LED Conditions
This section will help you interpret the LED indicators on your Guardian3 QR. But rst, here are a few conguration and
testing points to keep in mind:
• When choosing a location for the outside antenna, a minimum signal reading of –100 dB is needed. A signal in the -70 dB to -90 dB range is recommended for best performance. A signal stronger than -70 dB may cause the affected frequency bands to stop amplifying.
• The booster gain dials should be at maximum level unless the control light for a specic frequency band is
ashing red or red-yellow. In either case, try increasing the antenna separation between the inside and outside antennas as much as possible rst, and then restarting the booster.
• Avoid setting the gain below 35 dB, as this could cause the affected frequency band to stop amplifying.
LED INDICATIONS
LED
Color
LED
Condition
Resolution
Yellow Solid The frequency band is not in use. Eventually, the band will enter sleep mode. When the light is off, it means
things are normal, and that the band is active.
Yellow Flashing The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is self-adjusting. This occurs during normal operation.
Red Flashing The booster is receiving too much signal. Can cause the affected band to automatically turn off. If this
happens:
1. For kits using an OMNI outside antenna, relocate the outside antenna to a location where the signal is weaker.
2. For kits using a YAGI outside antenna, turn the antenna in short increments away from the signal source.
3. Increase the separation between antennas (more vertical separation works best).
4. Add an inline attenuator to the cable connected to the Outside port on the booster.
Red Solid The associated frequency band is off. If the red light ashes for a long time (caused by too much signal),
and then turns solid red, it means the associated frequency band has been turned off. This will happen if the gain dial for that frequency band has been turned all the way down.
Yellow/
Red
Flashes alternating colors
Self-oscillation has been prevented. Try this:
1. Increase the separation between the inside and outside antennas. If your booster kit uses two
directional antennas (example: outside Yagi antenna and inside panel antenna), ensure that they are
facing away from each other.
2. If the condition continues, lower the dB gain setting in small increments until the light turns off or
ashes yellow.
Refer to your Sentry Monitoring Software for more information about LED codes. Meanwhile, if you have any questions during setup, please reach out to our U.S.-based support technicians:

Or, chat: www.surecall.com , 7:00 am – 5:00 pm PST, Monday – Friday
5.4 Testing & Troubleshooting
Once the booster is powered on (and no Warning lights are on), walk around the area to assess the voice and/or
data signal in representative variety of locations. Rene the antenna locations and/or gain levels as needed, and then complete the permanent installation when you are condent the system will perform well.
A few tips and some perspective:
• It’s not realistic to expect full reception everywhere in the building.
• As a general rule, increasing gain by 6dB doubles the coverage distance of the interior antennas. Start at the lowest gain and increase gradually as needed.
• If one or more red Warning lights comes on, it indicates there is oscillation in that band and adjustments are needed
26
Conguration and Testing
• If you can’t get the coverage reasonably well-balanced, you may need to install an additional interior antenna and/or a different type of interior antenna and/or relocate interior antennas.
