Product Usage Instructions
Setup
- Connect the inside antenna and the outside antenna as shown in Fig. 1.
- Outside antenna:
- Place the outside antenna outside of the house in the area that has the best signal.
- If an outside location is unavailable, place the outdoor antenna on a window with the best signal.
- Inside Antenna: Connect the inside antenna as shown in Fig. 1.
- Separation: Increase the distance between the outside and inside antenna as much as possible to maximize coverage and avoid gain reduction.
- Power: Connect the power supply to the booster and turn it on.
- Coverage: Use your cell phone to determine if coverage is OK. If coverage is not adequate, please look at the Green and Orange lights to determine if the booster has automatically turned down its gain per LED Gain Chart on the back cover. If so, try to separate or move antennas as per the explanation in Pg.4.
Important: Use only the power supply included with the booster. Connecting any other power supply at any time will result in damage to the booster and will void the warranty. Do not turn on the power switch until ALL cables have been screwed or plugged into the booster or you can cause damage to the booster.

Understanding the LED Indicators
- The LED lights on the booster face plate indicate the operating gain state of the booster.
- The Green and Orange lights indicate the gain status in each operating band When Both Green and Orange LEDs are “SOLID ON” it means that the booster is operating normally with full gain (No Automatic Gain Reduction)
- When one or both of the LEDS are ashing (Per the chart on the back page) it indicates that the gain has been automatically reduced due to either:
- High RX outside signal level (close to a cell tower)
- Loop Oscillation, is caused when the inside antenna is located too close to the outside antenna.
Optional Dual Inside Antenna Installation
(Additional parts required which are not included in the Booster kit
- Choose a splitter model for your needs. For 2 interior antennas use a 2-way splitter and for 3 interior antennas use a 3-way splitter etc…
- Mount the interior antennas in the areas that need cellular coverage
- Distribute the antennas throughout the doors and areas to cover
- Turn on the Booster unit and check signal strength improvement as needed

LED Lights Explanation and Troubleshooting
-
Each ash indicates 3dB of gain reduction also known as gain attenuation. For example: three ashes equals 9dB of attenuation.
-
Green LED indicates loop oscillation status. When ashing it means a reduction of gain. To improve you need to spread the distance between the inside and outside antennas. If you spread them far enough away, the Green LED will become SOLID ON.
-
Orange LED indicates RX (outside signal) status.
-
There are 5 Orange LED lights: 700 Mhz Lower, 700 Mhz Upper, 850 Mhz, 1700/2100 Mhz, 1900 Mhz ext. LED ON state indicates that the RX (Receive Signal) function of the band is functioning normally.
LED OFF state indicates that the band is shut down. -
When Orange LED is ashing it indicates reduced gain also known as attenuation of gain. You cannot prevent this condition. It means that the outside signal is very strong and the booster has reduced its gain to protect the closest cell tower. If the close cell tower is the one you are using, then you can ignore the gain reduction and you will still get enough signal strength to cover your area. In this case, this is the normal operating process.
-
If the close cell tower is not the one you are using, then you can try to relocate your outside antenna away from this cell tower and face it or point it to the cell tower you are using to get more gain.
Optional Dual Indoor Antenna Installation (Fig. 2)
(Additional parts required which are not included in the Amplifier kit.
- Choose a divider model for your needs. For 2 indoor antennas use a 2-way splitter and for 3 indoor antennas use a splitter
- Mount indoor antennas in areas that need cellular coverage
- Distribute antennas evenly across floors and areas to be covered
- Turn on the Amplifier unit and check the signal strength improvement as required

Understanding LED Indicators
LEDs on the face of the amplifier indicate operational gain status.
In a given frequency band, there is a Green and Orange LED which indicate the
gain status of the band. When both of these LEDs are “SOLID ON”, the amplifier
is operating normally and
with full gain (no attenuation) in that band. If the amplifier has reduced its
gain, one or
both LEDs will flash. (via the table on the back cover)
Any reduction in gain will be due to either: A)
High signal level outside (near the tower)
The oscillation loop is caused when the indoor antenna (either on the bracket
or the patch antenna) and the outdoor antennas are located too close together.
When the booster is off, it will be indicated as follows: When the indoor and
outdoor antennas are extremely close together the Green LED will flash rapidly
and the Orange LED will turn off indicating the booster is off due to the
oscillation loop.
NOTE : It is normal for the booster to be quite warm while the phone is
in use state.
NOTE : It is normal for the amplifier to be quite hot during operation
What do the flashing LEDs mean?
Each blink indicates 3dB of gain reduction also known as gain attenuation. For
example: three flashes equals 9dB of attenuation.
The green LED indicates oscillation loop status. When it flashes, it means a
gain reduction. To improve you must extend the distance between the antennas
from the inside and outside. If you spread them far enough they will become
LIT SOLID.
Orange LED indicates RX status (outdoor signal strength).
There are five amber LED lights: 1) for 700 Mhz Low 2) for 700 Mhz High 3) for
850 Mhz, 4) for 1700/2100 Mhz, 5) for 1900 Mhz PCS. State On/Flashing
indicates that the RX(signal reception) of the band works normally. Off state
indicates that the tape is stopped. When flashing indicates reduced gain also
known as gain attenuation. You cannot prevent this condition. This means that
the signal outside is very loud and the amplifier has reduced this jack to
protect the nearest cell tower. If the cell tower that is near is the one you
use, you can ignore the gain reduction and you’ll still have enough signal
strength to cover your area. In this case, this is the normal process of
Operating. If the nearby cell tower is not the one you are using,
you can try moving your outdoor antenna away from this cell tower and front it
or point it at the cell tower that you use every year to get more gain. If you
need help please contact
techsupport@smoothtalker.com and we’ll
help you determine the location of your cell tower and you get the
confirmation.
Industry Canada Information to Users
This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.
The Class [B] digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation. 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 using input
power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
To comply with ICAN MPE limits: Antennas MUST be installed at least 20 cm (8
inches) from any person. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
Mobile Communications Inc., the party responsible for compliance, could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
