YX230 CLA

Note: Be sure that all cell phones in the vicinity of the Amplifier are turned off during installation.

FIRST:

Position Amplifier Unit - Position Amplifier Unit within interior of vehicle and within a 3-4 ft. reach of a 12V DC Port. Choose a location where it rests flat and is not a hazard to driver (i.e. under seat).

SECOND:

Position Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna - Position Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna on top of vehicle, making sure magnet is secured to metal surface. Then route cable from Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna and connect to Amplifier Unit.

NOTE: Cord will run from exterior to interior of vehicle. Cord is designed to withstand pressure when closed in a door.

THIRD:

Position Interior Patch Antenna - Position the Interior Antenna with the fewest obstructions between the antenna and the normal operating position of the cell phone. When the Antenna is in the desired position, it should be no less than 8 inches (20cm) from the normal operating position of the cell phone. Next, route the Antenna cable and connect to the Amplifier Unit. Avoid placing the Antenna behind any metallic objects (i.e. mirror in sun visor). Do not attach to any metal surface.

IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, do not affix Interior Antenna to windshield.

FOURTH:

Attach DC Power Cable - Attach small end of the 12V DC Power Cable to the Amplifier Unit. Insert the remaining end of 12V DC Power Cable into a 12V (cigarette lighter) Port within vehicle.

NOTE: To avoid draining battery, when the ignition is off, check that Amplifier is not receiving power with vehicle turned off. The Amplifier’s LED should be off when the vehicle is off. To turn off Amplifier, depress the switch on 12V DC CL Adapter.

FIFTH:

Examine LED light on Amplifier - The LED light on the Amplifier Unit indicates that the unit has power as well as the unit’s operating status. Determine the optimal signal enhancement when positioning both Antennas before making the Antenna placement permanent. Once powered, the Amplifier LED should be Green. Attach both Antennas and position them to achieve a Green LED.

Green LED – Optimal signal enhancement
Red LED – Poor signal enhancement

If you are receiving a Red LED after repositioning Antennas, try powering the unit off and on again. If the Antennas are connected and too close to each other when the Amplifier Unit is turned on, it will be impossible to achieve a Green LED.

SIXTH:

Achieve Optimal Enhancement - Once your LED is Green, you may permanently affix both the Magnetic Mount and Interior Antenna. Put your cell phone directly next to the Interior Antenna and check your signal. Next, turn the system off. You should notice a decrease in signal bar strength (unless you are in a location with full signal).
