SureCall FLARE-DB Dual Band Booster

INTRODUCTION

NOTE: Normal operation is indicated by LEDs that are OFF -or- YELLOW Flashing. Only the presence of RED LEDs indicate the potential need for adjustments. Note that power cycling the booster after each adjustment may be necessary

| OFF| The booster is operating normally
Left| Yellow

Flashing

| Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is self-adjusting. This is part of normal operation.
Right| Yellow Flashing| Indicates Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is active and the booster is self adjusting. This is part of normal operation and, whether intermittent or ongoing, does not require action.
Left| Red Flashing| The booster is receiving too strong of a signal which may cause one or more of the supported frequency bands to shut off. Unaffected frequency bands will not be impacted, however, and continue to receive enhanced signal.

If this happens but your signal is still improved: It is possible that the impacted frequency bands are not used by your carrier and thus, no action is needed.

If this happens and your signal has not improved, consider the following options:

•     Relocate the outside antenna to a location where the signal is weaker.

•     Adjust the angle of the Yagi antenna by rotating it in small increments away from cell tower until Red flashing stops.

•     If using an omni antenna, try shielding the antenna by partially or completely obstructing one side of the antenna. Shielding materials include metal or masonry, for example. As a last resort, utilize signal attenuators.

Right| Red/Yellow Alternately Flashing| One or more of the supported frequency bands have shut off. Unaffected frequency bands will not be impacted, however, and continue to receive enhanced signal.

If this happens and service quality has not improved, consider the following options:

•     Try increasing antenna isolation by adding vertical distance between the outside antenna and Flare booster.

•     Ensure the Yagi antenna is not aimed in the direction of the Flare booster.

•     Check for sources of interference such as, cellular modems or hotspots. Added separation from the Flare booster may be needed.

Keep in mind, identifying the setup that yields the best possible results for your environment will come from testing — balancing between elimination of interference while receiving the best possible signal.
