Before installation, please ensure adequate separation between the planned locations of the booster and inside tabletop antenna (at least 30 ft.). A separating wall between the booster and inside tabletop antenna is preferable and a separating floor is ideal

Step 1. Find the Area Inside with the Strongest Signal
Locate the window with the strongest cellular signal.

Step 2. Place the Signal Booster
Once you have determined the inside location with the strongest signal, place the booster in that location using one of the two options noted in the diagram, Placing the Signal Booster, and connect one end of the provided cable to cable connector on the booster. Note that the EZ 4G booster performs best when placed at a window corner.

Step 3. Place the Inside Tabletop Antenna
Place the inside tabletop antenna in a central location where signal is needed and at least 30 ft. from the booster location. Run the provided cable from the booster to the inside tabletop antenna and hand-tighten.
Note that further separation between the booster and inside tabletop antenna will increase booster performance.

Step 4. Connect Power
Once the booster and inside tabletop antenna are connected and in place, connect the power cord to the signal booster and plug into a power outlet.

Step 5. Enjoy Boosted Cell Signal
Place a call in the room where the inside tabletop antenna is located to confirm that your phone is receiving a boosted signal from the EZ 4G.

If you Want to Improve Coverage

  • Test different booster locations to identify which receives the strongest signal and place the EZ 4G booster in that location.
  • Try relocating one component (booster or antenna) to a separate floor (upstairs or downstairs).
  • Increase the distance between the booster and inside tabletop antenna.

Condition

| Indication
---|---|---|---
Left| Yellow| Flashing| Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is self-adjusting. This is part of normal operation.
Left| Red| Flashing| The booster is receiving too strong of a signal which could cause the booster to auto- matically turn off

When this happens: Relocate the EZ 4G to a window location where the signal is weaker.

Right| Red| Flashing| Self-oscillation has been prevented.

When this happens: Increase the separation between the inside antenna and the EZ 4G booster.

Setup Guide

Step 1: Finding the Strongest Signal Indoors

Note: Window films that block UV rays may also block cellular signals. When using a booster in a home comprised of film-coated windows, the booster may perform better when placed against a wall facing the exterior of the home.

Step 2: Placing the Signal Booster

Option 1
Apply the booster directly to the window (ideally, at window corner) using the provided adhesive.

Option 2
Use the provided stand to set the booster on the window sill (ideally, at a window corner).

Step 3: Placing the Tabletop Antenna

Step 4: Connecting the Power Supply

Troubleshooting

Problem Resolution
Signal booster has no power Connect the power supply to an alternate power

source.

Be sure the power source is not controlled by a switch that can remove power from the outlet.

Check the green POWER LED (Y) on the signal booster. If it is OFF, return the power supply to SureCall. Contact tech support at to receive an RMA at:

1-888-365-6283, support@surecall.com, or go to www.surecall.com 7:00 am – 5:00 pm PST, Monday – Friday to chat with a representative.

After install- ing your signal booster system, you have no sig- nal or reception| Verify that cable connections are tightly fitted to the booster and antenna. Try further separating the booster and antenna.

Verify that there is usable signal at the window where the booster is placed.

i Remember: Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to confirm signal coverage is the ability to place and hold a call.

BEFORE USE, you MUST REGISTER THIS DEVICE with your wireless provider and have your provider’s consent. Most wireless providers consent to the use of signal boosters. Some providers may not consent to the use of this device on their network. If you are unsure, contact your provider.
You MUST operate this device with approved antennas and cables as specified by the manufacturer. Antennas MUST be installed at least 20 cm (8 inches) from any person. You MUST cease operating this device immediately if requested by the FCC or a licensed wireless service provider.
This device may be operated ONLY in a fixed location for in-building use.

WARNING: E911 location information may not be provided or may be inaccurate for calls served by using this device.

Important: Before installing your booster you need to register it with your carrier. You can do so online at the following urls:
Verizon: http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/register-signal- booster.html
AT&T: https://securec45.securewebsession.com/attsignalbooster.com/

FCC 27.50(d)(4) Statement: Fixed, mobile and portable (hand-held) stations operating in the 1720-1755 MHz band are limited 1 Watt EIRP. Fixed stations operating in this band are limited to a maximum antenna height of 10 meters above ground. Mobile and portable stations operating in this band must employ a means for limiting power to the minimum necessary for  successful communications.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Industry Canada: This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
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 by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
