Thank you for purchasing SureCall’s Fusion5 cellular signal booster kit. Fusion5 was
specically designed to eliminate frustrations over dropped calls, limited range and slow
data rates by amplifying incoming and outgoing cellular signals in buildings, homes and
oces up to 6,000 square feet.
The Fusion5 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
How It Works
SureCall’s Fusion5 is a high-quality bidirectional signal booster that enhances cellular
signals to areas that are prone to weak cellular coverage.
Fusion5 works with two or more antennas:
• Up to four inside antennas that communicate 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.

Omni antennas are ideal
for topographies with minimal
obstacles, they have 360º
reception
Dome antennas are designed
for central locations with 360º
coverage
Yagi antennas are designed to
reach carrier towers that are up
to 30 miles away
Panel Antennas allow optimum
reception to targeted areas
Note: Due to the recent change of our company name from Cellphone-Mate (CM) to SureCall (SC) we have changed the prex on all of our antennas, cables
and accessories from CM to SC-.

Step 1. Make sure you have positioned the booster close enough to an existing
electrical outlet.
Step 2. Make sure you have sucient cable length between proposed outside antenna
location and booster connector.
Step 3 Make sure 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
The signal booster requires a minimum cellular signal of low –100 dBm. Signal readings
usually appear as a negative number (for example, -85). The more bars you get, the
closer the dB gets to zero. Aim for a signal close to -50dB. Signals stronger than -50dB
may cause the booster to shut down (see the graph below). If you have an omni outside
antenna and your signal is too weak you may need a yagi antenna, which can be aimed
at the closest antenna tower. Before installing the outside antenna, nd the area with the
strongest cellular signal source from your service provider by following the directions
below. You can also go to www.antennasearch.com to nd the general location of
carrier towers.
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.
2. Select a location away from buildings, walls, trees, hills, and other terrain features that can block
or reect wireless signals (12-inch clear radius is recommended).
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 set it up facing the
cellular tower in the area where you located the best signal source (see step 1 on the
previous page).
2. Make sure that the mounting area has at least a 12-inch radius clear of obstructions and
other radiating elements.
3. If the mounting area is prone to weak cellular signals or if the density of the roof and
ceiling partially block the signal, the booster will operate at its default setting of 65 dB
gain, be sure to place the outside antenna at least 75 feet from the inside antenna for
best performance.
4. Do not collocate antennas or operate the outside antenna with any other antenna or
signal booster.
5. Run the SC-400 cable from the outside antenna to the signal booster. Hand tighten the
connection
IMPORTANT: For boosters enhancing T-Mobile’s AWS frequencies, the FCC has stated for consumer signal boosters operating as a xed
station in the 1710 - 1755 MHz uplink 2110 - 2155 downlink bands, the users or installation manual must contain the 30 foot
height restriction requirements per FCC 27.50(d)(4).

Fusion5’s omni antennas come with equipment for mounting on a vertical wall. For best results
the antenna should be mounted in an upright position.
Step 1: Unscrew antenna from L-mounting bracket on antenna base with hands, or wrench,
if needed.
Step 2: Using vertical plate of bracket, mark position of desired placement with pencil or marker.
Step 3: Unscrew nut on end of stucco screw and remove it along with lock washer and
regular washer.
Step 4: Place vertical plate into desired location and tap the screws head rst, along with sleeve,
into stucco 1⁄2” to 5/8” deep into place.
Step 5: In this order, place washer, lock washer and nut on each screw and tighten until secure.
When tightening screw, sleeve will expand to secure plate. Screw antenna securely back
onto horizontal plate.
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.

1. If your indoor antenna is a dome type, mount it on the ceiling in a central location.
2. If your indoor antenna is a at panel, install it against a wall or surface projecting the
area where you want reception. Point the antenna away from the outside antenna.
To avoid interference stay a minimum distance of 3 feet from the panel antenna.
3. Run the SC-400 cable from the inside antenna to the signal booster. Connect the inside
antenna to the booster connector marked INSIDE (see page 13
4. Hand tighten the connection.
Step 3. Install the Inside Antenna
Inside antennas come in omni-directional (dome) and at panel versions.
Installing Your Hardware
Note: As you can see from the table above, acquiring the recommended inside and outside antenna separation optimizes coverage signicantly.
Any reduced antenna separation reduces the booster’s coverage.
Note: see next page for outside antenna installation details.
