How It Works

Package Contents:
Your 4G LTE signal booster package includes:

One SureCall carrier specic 4G LTE signal booster

One SC-288W antenna
One SC-240 40’ foot outdoor cable
One SC-174 6’ foot cable

The cellular signal is received by the antenna from the cell tower, it is then

amplied and transmitted through the outdoor SC-240 cable to the 4G LTE

booster, which sends it through the SC-174 cable and connects to the

computer’s USB connector (not included) to your computer’s data card,

sending the improved signal to your computer through the data card. When

the data card transmits, the signal goes through the USB connector, it is

then sent through the cable and amplied by the booster and broadcast

back to the cell tower through the antenna.

Step 1. Find the area with the Strongest Signal

The signal booster requires a minimum cellular signal of low –100 dBm.

Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -85). The

more bars you get, the closer the dB gets to zero. Aim for a signal close to

-50dB. Signals stronger than -50dB may cause the booster to shut down.

(see the graph below). Before installing the outside antenna, nd the area

with the strongest cellular signal source from your service provider by follow-

ing the directions below. You can also go to www.antennasearch.com to nd

the general location of carrier towers.

1. Measure the strength of the existing cellular signal in various locations.

• Apple iPhones: Dial *3001#12345#* and press Call. In the top-left corner,
a dB number appears instead of bars.

• Android devices: download apps such as “Network Signal Info” in the

Google Play store to measure signal strength. Search check real signal

strength to nd other cell signal measurement apps.

• Internet: go to www.speedtest.net to test 3G and 4G data rates.

2, Select a location away from buildings, walls, trees, hills, and other

terrain features that can block or reect wireless signals (12-inch clear

radius is recommended).

Connect the Outdoor Antenna:

SureCall’s omni antenna comes with equipment for mounting on a vertical

wall. For best results the antenna should be mounted in an upright position.

The antenna should be placed near the location you identied in the

previous step for the best possible reception. The best location will be

clear of obstacles. Connect the antenna cable to the “OUTSIDE” connector

of the booster and tighten it. If using another antenna other than a SureCall

antenna, use the included adapter to connect the cable leading from

OUTSIDE connection to antenna.

Installing Your Hardware

Connect the Data Port: Connect USB connector (not provided) to the supplied

SC-174 6 foot cable and connect the cable to the booster connection labeled

INSIDE.

Connect the Power Cord:

To prevent damage to the booster, before plugging in the booster to an AC

power outlet, make sure the booster’s power switch is in the OFF position.

Then connect the AC power cord to the booster using the USB connector end.

Then connect the free plug to the outlet. Make sure all of the connections to the

booster are tight and secure. The LED light will turn green indicating that the

booster is ready to use.

Using the Booster

The booster is ready for use as soon as all connections are made and the unit

powers up without the red light coming on. You may now enjoy enhanced

cellular reception through your laptop or computer.
