doesn’t light up at all. 2) Check whether the antenna cable (coaxial cable) or
the connector is correctly connected. When, signals
are very weakly received from the base station, normal
reception is unavailable even outdoor (where the
outdoor antenna is installed), check it with the cellular
phone or measuring instrument. If the signals are poor,
adjust the position of the antenna. Nevertheless if they
are poor, use the Yagi antenna to increase the gain of the
antenna.
Problem Solution
The ALM LED lights 1) When the signals are very strongly received from

unavailable, hence, change the installed place of the
indoor antenna to make receiving signals a little distant.
The “ALM” Light Is This means that the input signal strength is too strong,
Constantly Lighted causing what is known as “signal saturation” – this
reduces to effectiveness of the repeater unit. You should
change the direction of the antenna to a direction from
which the signal is weaker, such that the “ALM” light is
not constantly on.
The “ALM” Light This “alarm” light signals oscillation due to signal
Turns On feedback. When the alarm light is on, the unit is no
longer operation – it will automatically reset after
one minute or you can reset the unit manually by
disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable. In
order to prevent the alarm light from turning on, you
need to ensure the isolation of the directional antenna
from the monopole broadcast antenna. To do this, make
sure that the directional antenna is facing away from the
repeater unit and is sufficiently far away. Also, you can
improve isolation by installing the repeater with a wall
between the directional antenna and the repeater unit.
See the “Step 2” of the installation procedure above for
more information.
