Antenna Location & Setup – Continued
How to Connect the Antenna:
1)Connect the AC line cord from the power port on the front of the FWT to the AC power source – see
Figure 3.
OR if an external DC power source is used, connect an optional DC input cable to the DC Input port.
2)Turn on the FWT power using the power switch. After approximately 10 seconds, the LED indicator on the front of the FWT should turn RED.
3)Connect an antenna to the TNC antenna connector on top of the FWT – see Figure 4.

4)Move the antenna from one location to another until you achieve the best signal strength possible.
ANTENNA TIP:
Many things can obstruct the cellular signal, and moving the antenna as little as one meter (3 feet) can dramatically improve signal strength and call reception.

Test the cellular signal strength by checking the LED indicator on the front of your Phonecell:
·Solid RED = No Service
·Solid YELLOW = Moderate signal strength
·Solid GREEN = Good signal strength.
5)When you’re getting a strong (GREEN) signal, you’re ready for the next step – connecting a phone and making a call.
