Find the Strongest Cellular Signal
Before you install your DT signal booster,
you must determine the location
available cellular signal. This will affect the
location
of
your Outside Antenna and will
help you get the best performance from
your
DT.
You can find the strongest signal
outside your building, typically at the highest
point available, using any
of
methods:
1.
Best
method:
Connect the Outside Antenna to the
DT signal booster, and the DT to the
Desktop Antenna. Have one person
outside (on the roof for best results)
rotate the Outside Antenna with a
second person inside the building near
the Desktop Antenna watching the
signal strength on a phone. This allows
you to read the signal strength from
nearby cell towers.
a. The person inside should have
the phone in test mode so the
numerical signal strength can be
read.
This
is more accurate than

d. Once you have determined which
direction provides the strongest
outside signal, you can install the

in
that general
direction.

Good
methods:
a. Place calls from several locations
outside
your
building.

The person inside should note the
readings on the phone with each
turn. Signal readings usually appear
as a negative number. The closer the
number gets to zero, the stronger the
signal (for example, -86 dB would be
a moderately good reading while -55
dB would be an excellent reading,
and
-11
0 dB would be a weak,
unusable signal).
