Warning: Unauthorized antennas, cables, and/or coupling devices are prohibited by FCC new rules. Please contact FCC for details: 1-888-CALL-FCC. Changes or mod ifications not expressly approved by SureCall could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Installation Overview
Step 1. Find the outside area with the strongest signal.
Step 2. Install the outside antenna
Step 3. Place the Flare 3.0 on a table or desktop, center of the area where signal is needed.
Step 4. Connect the booster to an AC power source.
Step 1. Find the Area With the Strongest Signal
Using your phone, identify the outside location with the strongest signal for placement of your outside antenna. Generally, this is found above the roofline on the side facing your nearest cell tower and as high as possible – where the antenna can ‘see’ your cell tower. To find the location of your carrier’s closest cell tower, go to www.antennasearch.com.
The coverage area that the booster provides is directly related to the strength of incoming signal received by the outdoor antenna. Mounting the outside antenna where the signal is the strongest will provide the best results. Please note, if signal is extremely weak where the outside antenna is installed, indoor coverage will be limited. Note that Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to confirm signal coverage is t he ability to place and hold a call.
Putting your phone in Field Test mode will also indicate what level of decibels (dB) your phone is currently receiving. Decibels are measured in the negatives, and a score closer to zero indicates you have a better signal. A signal of -120 dB indicates you have no service, while a score of about -50 dB means you have excellent signal strength For specific dB signal measurements, use the methods below.
Step 2. Install the Outside Antenna
After identifying the area of strongest signal, choose the surface where you will mount the outside antenna. Using the provided hardware, mount the outside antenna at the highest possible elevation, allowing a minimum separation of 25 feet from the planned location of the booster.
Once the outside antenna is secured, connect one end of the provided cable to the outside antenna and tighten the connection. Do not collocate antennas or operate the outdoor antenna with any other antenna or signal booster.
Outside Yagi Antenna Installation Before installing a Yagi, or directional antenna, note that the antenna should be mounted on a pole or pipe (not provided), at the highest possible location and mounted horizontally, aimed in the direction of your nearest cell tower. To find the location of your carrier’s closest cell tower, go to www.antennasearch.com.
Ensure that the mounting area has at least a 12-inch radius clear of obstructions and other radiating elements and orient the antenna with the drip hole at the bottom. Once you have identified your install location, assemble the u-bolt,
bracket, nuts and washers onto a pole or pipe (not provided) as shown in the illustration. Keep the connections loose enough to allow the antenna to rotate until the optimum direction is found. Once the outside antenna is secured to a pipe or pole, connect antenna to one end of the provided RG6 cable and tighten the connection. Run the cable along route to planned location of your booster.
Note: This booster is rated for 5-15V input voltage. DO NOT use the booster with a higher voltage power supply. This can damage the booster, cause personal injury, and void your warranty.
This booster should not be used near open fir e or flame. Storage and transportation: Store and place in non-extreme room-temperature and dry environment.
Step 3. Place the Booster
Place the booster in a central location where signal is needed and at least 25 ft. from the outdoor antenna location. When placing the booster, note that further separation between the booster and outside antenna will increase booster performance. Connect the open end of the RG6 cable from the outside antenna to the booster and tighten connection. Please note that the performance and range of your booster depends on three factors:
Step 4: Connect to Power
Once the booster and outside antenna are connected and in place, connect the power cord to the signal booster and plug into a power outlet.
Enjoy Boosted Signal
Place a call in the room where the booster is located to confirm that your phone is receiving a boosted signal. Remember: Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to confirm signal coverage is the ability to place and hold a call.

Problem Resolution
Signal booster has no power Connect the power supply to an alternate power source. Be sure the power source is not controlled by a switch that can remove power from the outlet. Check the POWER LED ( ) on the signal booster. If it is OFF, contact tech support at: 1-888-365-6283 or [email protected], or go to www.surecall.com/support
After installing your signal booster system, you have no signal or reception Verify that cable connections are tightly fitted to the booster and antenna. Try further separating the booster and antenna. Verify that there is usable signal where the antenna is placed. Remember: Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to confirm signal coverage is t he ability to place and hold a call.
NOTE: Normal operation is indicated by LEDs that are OFF -or- YELLOW Flashing. Only the presence of RED LEDs indicate potential need for adjustments.
Note that power cycling the booster after each adjustment may be necessary.
LED
Position Condition Indication
Left or Right
OFF The booster is operating normally
Left Yellow
Flashing
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is self-adjusting. This is part of normal operation.
Right Yellow
Flashing
Indicates Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is active and the booster is self adjusting. This is part of normal
operation and, whether intermittent or ongoing, does not require action.
Left Red Flashing
The booster is receiving too strong of a signal which may cause one or more of the supported frequency bands to shut off. Unaffected frequency bands will not be impacted, however, and continue to receive enhanced signal.
If this happens but your signal is still improved: It is possible that the impacted frequency bands are not used
by your carrier and thus, no action is needed. If this happens and your signal has not improved, consider the following options:
Right Red/Yellow Alternately Flashing
One or more of the supported frequency bands have shut off. Unaffected frequency bands will not be impacted, however, and continue to receive enhanced signal.
If this happens and service quality has not improved, consider the following options:

Using your phone, identify the outside location with the strongest signal. Generally, this is found on the side facing your nearest cell tower and as high as possible.
Note that Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to confirm signal coverage is the ability to place and hold a call. For specific dB signal measurements, use the methods below. Note that dB measurements appear as a negative number where the closer to 0, the stronger the signal (eg. -100 dB would be considered a weak signal while -65 dB a strong signal). Apple iPhones: Dial *3001#12345#* and press Call. In the top-left corner, a dB number appears instead of bars. Android devices: download the app “Network Signal Info” in the Google Play store. This signal booster requires a minimum cellular signal reading of -100dB at the location of the outside antenna. Signal between -70dB and -90dB is recommended for best performance. Please note: Signal stronger than -50dB may cause the affected frequency bands to turn off.
Outside Antenna Assembly
(not included) at the highest possible elevation. The directional Yagi antenna works best when facing the direction of your carrier’s cellular tower. To find the location of your carrier’s
closest cell tower go to www.cellreception.com. To install the outside antenna, assemble the u-bolt, bracket, nuts and washers as shown in the illustration. Keep the connections loose enough to allow the antenna to rotate until the optimum direction is found. Note: The outside antenna may be installed on a variety of pipe angles. Ensure that the mounting area has at least a 12-inch radius clear of obstructions and other radiating elements and orient the antenna vertically with the drip hole at the bottom. Once the outside antenna is secured to a pipe or pole, connect one end of the provided 50 ft. coax cable to the antenna and tighten the connection.
Choose a location for mounting the directional panel antenna on vertical surface. The antenna should be at the approximate height of your cell phone when in use and facing a central area where signal is needed. Please note: Be sure to provide enough separation from outside antenna – at least 25 ft. Also, the outside and inside antennas should face away from one another. Using the plate, mark position of desired screw placement and screw mounting plate into place with the slide panel protruding towards you (see panel antenna illustration below). Slide antenna securely onto mounting plate.
To install the booster, select a location that is near the inside panel antenna and a working AC outlet*. Use the supplied screws or appropriate screws for surface of mounting location and drill through screw tab holes on booster (see Booster Components Diagram illustration) and mount the booster to a wall. Connect the inside antenna and booster by connecting one end of the provided 20 ft. of coax cable to the inside antenna and
the other end of the cable to the booster port marked “INSIDE” and hand-tighten the connection. Next, connect the outside antenna and booster by connecting the remaining end of the 50 ft. cable leading from the outside antenna to the port of the booster marked “OUTSIDE”.
Connect the AC power cord to the booster and plug into a 110V AC power outlet. Once the booster has been completely assembled, turn the booster’s power switch on.
Note: If the Power LED does not turn ON or the Alert LEDs continue to flash, see the Troubleshooting section. This booster is rated for 5-15V input voltage. DO NOT use the booster with a higher voltage power supply. This can damage the booster, cause personal injury and void your warranty
The SureCall gain dials should always be at maximum level unless the control light in a specific band is flashing red or flashing red-yellow. In either of these cases, the first action should be to increase the antenna isolation between the inside and outside antenna as much as possible and restart the booster. If the situation continues, you can lower the gain with an attenuator or, as the last resort, reduce the booster gain by 5dB at a time until the control light in the frequency band flashes yellow.

Booster Components Diagram
Install Overview
LED | LED | |
Color | Condition | Indication |
Yellow | Solid | Indicates that the band is Inactive. After a period of time, if there’s no activity the band will go into sleep mode. Light is off while band is active. This is part of normal operation. |
Yellow | Flashing | Flashing Indicates that the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is self-adjusting. This is part of normal operation |
Red | Flashing | Indicates that the booster is receiving too much signal which could cause the affected band to automatically turn off. When this happens:
|
Yellow/ | Alternately | Oscillation is detected. |
Red | Flashing | First, try increasing the separation between the inside and outside antennas. If your booster kit uses two directional antennas (example: outside Yagi antenna and inside panel antenna), ensure that they are facing away from one another. If oscillation continues, lower the dB gain in small increments until the light turns off or flashes yellow |
Red | Solid | Band is off. If a red light has been flashing for an extended time, the band will automatically shut off and display a solid red light. This can also happen when the booster attenuation has been turned all the way down. |
WARNING: Do not attenuate the uplink and downlink dB settings below 35dB. This could cause the affected frequency band to turn off.
Problem | Resolution |
Signal booster has no power | Connect the power supply to an alternate power source. Verify that the power source is not controlled by a switch that has removed power from the outlet. If the POWER LED on the signal booster is OFF, contact tech support at: 1-888-365- 6283 or [email protected] |
After completing installation, indoor signal coverage has not improved |
(1) Verify that all cable connections are tightly fitted. (2) Try further separating the booster and antenna. (3) Verify that there is usable signal where the outside antenna is placed. Remember: Bars are not always a reliable measure of signal. The best way to confirm signal coverage is the ability to place and hold a call. |
