Thank you for purchasing SureCall’s Fusion4Home cellular signal booster kit. Fusion4Home was
specically designed to eliminate frustrations over dropped calls, limited range and slow data rates by
amplifying incoming and outgoing cellular signals in homes up to 2,000 square feet.
The Fusion4Home provides enhanced cellular signals for multi-carrier 2G, 3G and 4G voice and data
reception. If you have any questions while assembling this kit please contact tech support at 1-888-365-
Important:
Before installing your booster you need to register it with your carrier. You can do so online at the
following urls:

How It Works
SureCall’s Fusion4Home is a high-quality bidirectional signal booster that enhances
cellular signals to areas that are prone to weak cellular coverage.
Fusion4Home 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, amplied by
the booster and then sent to your 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.
This device may be operated ONLY in a xed location for in-building use

Omni antennas are ideal
for topographies with minimal
obstacles, they have 360º
reception
Designed for signal
enhancement in 1-2 rooms
Yagi antennas are designed to
reach carrier towers that are up
to 30 miles away
Panel Antennas allow optimum
reception to targeted areas

1. Ensure that you have positioned the booster close enough to an existing electrical
outlet.
2. Ensure that there is sucient cable length between proposed outside antenna
location and booster connector.
3. Ensure that you have sucient cable length between proposed inside antenna
location and booster connector. Additional cable may be purchased from your dealer,
if needed.
Installation Overview
Step 1. Find the outside area that has the strongest signal. (See page 7 for directions as needed)
Step 2. Install the outside antenna in the area identied in step 1. (See page 8-9 for directions as
needed)
Step 3. Install the inside antenna. (See page 10-11 for directions as needed)
Step 4. Mount the signal booster, connect the outside and inside antenna cables to the signal
booster, and connect the booster to an AC power source. (See page 12-13 for directions
if needed)
Step 5. Congure gain settings on the signal booster if needed. (See page 14 for directions as
needed)

Installing Your Hardware
Step 1. Find the area with the Strongest Signal
Before installing the outside antenna, nd the area with a strong cellular signal source
from your service provider by following the directions below.
Measure the strength of the existing cellular signal in various locations.
• Apple iPhones: Dial *3001#12345#* and press Call. In the top-left corner, a dB number appears instead of bars.
• Android devices: download apps such as “Network Signal Info” in the Google Play store to measure signal
strength. Search check real signal strength to nd other cell signal measurement apps.
• Internet: go to www.speedtest.net to test 3G and 4G data rates.
The signal booster requires a minimum cellular signal of low –100 dBm. Signal read-
ings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -85). It is recommended that the
signal be between -70dB to -90dB. That’s when the signal is neither too strong nor too
weak. Signals stronger than -50dB may cause the aected bands to shut down while
displaying a ashing red LED (see the graph below). If your outside signal is too weak
(-95dB or worse) you may need a Yagi antenna instead of an omnidirectional one, which
can be aimed at the cell tower of your carrier to pull in a stronger signal to the booster.
Note: Where you install your outside antenna in relation to the carrier’s cell phone tower also determines signal strength. Although cell phone
carriers try to place towers for maximum coverage, local ordinances and terrain features can restrict tower locations, which can limit signal
strength at your location.

Step 2. Install the Outside Antenna
1. Outside omni antennas receive and send signals in a 360º radius. Yagi, or directional
antennas work best when facing the direction of cellular phone towers. Mount the outside
antenna as high as possible. If you are installing a Yagi antenna, mount it facing the
nearest cellular tower being used by your carrier in the area where you located the best
signal source (see step 1 on the previous page).
2. Ensure that the mounting area has at least a 12-inch radius clear of obstructions and
other radiating elements.
3. For best performance, place the outside antenna at least 30 feet from the inside antenna.
Note that if the mounting area is prone to weak cellular signals or if dense building
materials partially block the signal, the booster will operate at its default setting of 65 dB
gain.
4. Do not collocate antennas or operate the outside antenna with any other antenna or
signal booster.
5. Run the cable from the outside antenna to the signal booster. Hand tighten the
connection

IMPORTANT:: FCC 27.5 (d)(4) Statement: Fixed, mobile, and portable (hand-held) stations operating in the 1710-1755 MHz
band as well as mobile and portable stations operating in the 1695-1710 MHz and 1755-1780 MHz bands are
limited to 1 watt EIRP. Fixed stations operating in the 1710-1755 MHz band are limited to a maximum antenna
height of 10 meters above ground. Mobile and portable stations operating in these bands must employ a means
for limiting power to the minimum necessary for successful communications.

Installing Your Hardware
Note: If desired surface for installation plate is wood or concrete, wood or masonry screws for L-plate will have to be purchased separately.
Step 3. Install the Inside Antenna
Inside antennas come in right angle antenna and at panel versions.
Note: As you can see from the table above, acquiring the recommended inside and outside antenna separa-
tion optimizes coverage signicantly. Any reduced antenna separation reduces the booster’s coverage.
Installing the Yagi Antenna:
Step 1: Install U-Bolt on pole
Step 2: Slide pipe clamp over U-Bolt with the at side facing away from the pipe.
Step 3: Slide antenna bracket onto U-Bolt in desired location.
Step 4: Install at washer, split washer and nut, hand tighten
Note: Antenna may be installed on a variety of pipe angles, ensure that the antenna is pointing in the direc-
tion of the closest cellular tower and is vertical with the drip hole at the bottom. To nd the location of the
closest cell tower go to: www.cellreception.com.

Required Antenna Separation

Installing Your Hardware
Step 1. Choose a location for mounting the antenna on vertical surface. Ideal height o the
ground or oor should be the approximate height of your cell phone when in use.
Step 2. Using plate, mark position of desired screw placement with pencil or marker.
Step 3. Screw mounting plate into place with the slide panel protruding towards you.
Step 4. Slide antenna securely onto mounting plate.
Note: Be sure to provide enough separation from outside antenna. Panel antenna should
not face outside antenna.
Step 4. Install the Signal Booster
1. Select a location close to a working AC outlet. Do not expose the signal booster to
excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture, and airtight enclosures.
2. If you’d like to mount the booster to a wall, mark location of screw tabs on the wall in
the desired location.
3. Use supplied screws or appropriate screws for surface of mounting location and drill
through screw tab holes on booster.
Installing the Panel Antenna:
Connect the antenna by rmly screwing it onto the inside port of the Fusion4Home Booster. For
best results, the antenna should be mounted in an upright position. The right angle antenna con-
nects directly to the amplier port labeled “Inside”.
