How It Works

The SureCall Fusion2Go OTR is a high-performing bidirectional booster that enhances cellular signals for vehicles.
The Fusion2Go OTR works with two antennas:

• An inside antenna that communicates with your cell phone.
• An outside antenna that communicates with the cell tower.
  Signals sent from a cell tower are received by the outside antenna, amplified by the booster and then sent to your cell phone via the inside antenna. When your phone transmits, the signal is sent to the inside antenna, and then sent to the cell tower via the outside antenna.

Package Contents

• Unpack all package contents. For missing or damaged items, contact your reseller.

Before Installation

Select a location on your vehicle for the outside antenna. Multiple placement and height configurations are available to achieve the best configuration for your specific vehicle needs.
The antenna can be mounted on any truck, with or without an existing antenna mounting point. For vehicles without built-in mounting points, the antenna uses a 3/8 x 24 thread mount designed to accommodate many available 3rd party CB mounts.
A 2-clamp mounting bracket is provided for use on a mirror rail or other existing vehicle rails.
Additionally, an extension pole is also provided. Note, it is needed only to achieve the clearance requirements for the antenna specified below.
Thread glue is provided with the antenna. It should be applied at each threaded connection only after you have confirmed the proper height configuration as the glue will make the connection permanent.

Keep in mind, the antenna mounting location should:
(a) allow the antenna to extend above the metal cab (b) be at least 6 inches away from
any windows (c) provide at least a 12-inch radius clear of obstructions and other radiating elements, such as a radio antenna.

Note: A “soft installation” should first be performed by assembling the truck antenna (WITHOUT GLUE) and routing the cable through an open window. After completing the remaining installation steps and successful operation is verified, proceed with permanent installation.

Step 1: Install the Outside Antenna

Once you have determined the mounting location, assemble the antenna parts by routing the cable through the mast extension (if used) and through the cable exit adapter.
If using the provided mounting bracket, we recommend installing the spring base and mounting bracket before adding the remaining assembly.

Install mounting bracket
Secure bracket to vehicle rail as shown using provided hardware. Secure all four bolts in place and secure with a wrench.

Secure the assembled antenna to the mounting bracket
Assemble the spring base and mounting bracket by placing the threads through the opening of the mounting bracket as shown in
the illustration. Use the provided washers on the bottom side of the bracket opening then add the nut to bottom of the thread to secure in place.

Once complete, connect the assembled antenna and the spring base.

Route cable

Once the antenna installation is complete, route the antenna cable inside the vehicle. To hide the cable, Route cable from outside to the inside of the cabin under headliner and trim to the desired booster location on the floor of the vehicle.
If additional cable length is needed, optional 5 ft extension cable has been provided.
Note : The outside antenna must not be collocated or operating with any other antenna or booster.

Step 2: Install the Inside Patch Antenna
Identify a location for the inside antenna on or near your front dashboard that is

1. Within 2-3 feet of the typical cell phone location
2. At least 8 inches (20cm) from cellular devices and
3. At least 4 inches (10cm) from metal
   Next, peel Velcro backing and apply to a clean dry surface in your chosen location.

Step 3: Place Booster and Connect Cables
Select a well-ventilated location for the booster that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, and moisture. We often suggest installing beneath a seat or within the front console. Connect the cable from the outside antenna to the connection marked OUTSIDE and connect the cable from inside patch antenna to the connection marked INSIDE. Tighten the connections and wrap up any loose cable.

Step 4: Connect Power
Once antenna connections are complete, connect the DC power cord connector to the signal booster. The Power LED on the signal booster will illuminate to indicate it is receiving power and is ready for use.

Verify Your System is Working

Place a call in a location where you previously experienced poor cell service and confirm that your phone is receiving a boosted signal.
Normal operation is indicated by Green LEDs (flashing or solid). In the event Red LEDs appear, antenna adjustments may be needed. Review the following potential causes:

• Verify the two antennas have sufficient separation/isolation from the other another.
• Verify the outside antenna has sufficient clearance above any metal objects and has at least 12 inch radius from other radiating elements, such as a radio antenna.
• Consider: Resolving the issue may require moving the outside antenna further from the vehicle cabin and/or increasing the vertical placement of the outside antenna. If you have not used the optional mast extension, try adding it to achieve additional separation.

LED Indicators

Place a call in a location you have previously experienced poor signal and confirm that your phone is receiving a boosted signal. Normal operation is indicated by Green LEDs (both flashing and solid). In the event Red LEDs appear, antenna adjustments may be needed.

Note that the booster case may become warm during operation. This is normal.

WARNING: The booster is rated for 5-15V input voltage. DO NOT use the booster with a higher voltage power supply.
This can damage the booster and/or cause personal injury.
