4. Set Mode & Connect Power
Set the switch on the bottom of the CU (Main CU of a 267
system) to “1”. Connect the power supply to this CU, then
plug the adapter into an AC outlet.
2. Location
The DU can be mounted anywhere your cell
phone works. This may be on a rooftop, on the
side of a building, or inside a building (typical
downtown set-up). The one or two CUs will be
mounted inside the building where your cell
phone does not work.
To start the installation, place the DU and CUs
in the general areas where they are to be
located. Do not physically mount them at this
time.
If the DU is mounted indoors, maximum
separation between the DU and CUs, and
back-to-back positioning will optimize
performance.

8. Set CU to Active
Set the mode switch on the CU to 2 (active).
Hold the CU in the location to be mounted. The LCD on
the bottom of the CU indicates coverage ( ) by the number
of bars; more bars indicate better coverage.
6. Align DU - final rotation
Begin rotating the DU again. When the flashing LED turns
green, stop the rotation. This is the direction the DU must
face when mounted.
5. Align DU - first rotation
The DU should be mounted in an area where your cell phone
works best. In this location, rotate the DU in a complete
circle. The flashing LED on the back of the DU will change
color (red, yellow, or green) during the rotation.
