Which Amplifier do I need?
Well determining what amplifier you need is a simple process
of elimination. Follow these steps and you will choose the right product for
your needs.
For Amplifiers
1)
Who is your cellular Service Provider?
If Your Provider is Nextel,
Southern LINC or MIKE in Canada you need our IBA-NEX amplifier
If your provider is Sprint, a PCS
provider or a 1900 GSM carrier such as TMobile or Cricket that uses 1900 MHZ
only you need our DBA819 Dual Band amplifier.
If your provider is not list above such as Verizon, Cingular,
Western Wireless and many more you can one of two ways. The DBA819 Dual Band
amplifier will cover all carriers in North America on both 1900 MHz and 800 MHz.
That is the simple approach.
IF you want to try and save a little
money and plan to only use your amplifier in one area you might be able to use
a SBA800 single band amplifier.
A)
To determine if a SBA will meet your needs go to www.wirelessadvisor.com
B)
Type in your zip code
C)
Search for your carrier
D)
If your carrier is on 800MHz only in the area you plan to use
the amplifier in you could use the SBA800 , Please check with your carrier to
see if they have plans to utilize 1900 MHZ in that area in the future
E)
There are a lot of
Rural area in America and Canada that are on 800mhz and there are no plans to
utilize 1900 MHz in the near future so it is very possible that a single band
units will fulfill your needs and save you lots of $$$$
Antenna Adapter Info
1)
Where do I plug the antenna adapter in on my phone
80% of the cellular handsets on the market have an RF out
port on the back of the handset.
Look for a rubber plug or plastic cut out on the back of the
phone just below the antenna. Remove it, that is your RF out port and where
your adapter cable plugs in See illustration below
2)
My phone does not have an RF out port, How do I connect to the
amplifier
Cyfre has come out with several solutions for phones
with no RF out port and interior antennas. They are called inductive adapters.
They mount on the back of the phone over the interior antenna. These work well
but not as well as a handset with a direct RF connection. Below is our
Inductive clamp antenna designed for Nokia and handsets from other manufacturers
with phones with interior antennas. See picture below
3)
If your Handset has neither of these situations please
contact us (Click on CONTACT at the top of this page) and we will find the right solution for you!
Proper Insertion Procedure for External Antenna Adapter
for Motorola RAZR V3
Damage may be caused when pushing too hard or twisting the adapter.
The correct procedure for inserting the external antenna adapter for the Motorola RAZR V3 (IAC036 or IAC063) is to gently push the adapter in until it stops.
The phone port and the adapter only need to make contact to work properly with the external antenna.
When inserted properly, a small section of the Teflon® covered shaft of the adapter may still be exposed. It may not fit flush against the back of the RAZR.
Avoid pushing too hard or aggressively twisting the adapter to make it fit flush with the phone.
The adapter is designed to go into the phone port approximately half way, which gives the impression that it is not in all the way.
Damage may be caused when pushing too hard or twisting the adapter.
WARNING
When an antenna adapter is inserted into the port on most phones, a mechanical switch in the phone's connector disconnects the phone's antenna and switches to the external antenna. When the adapter is removed, the switch should reconnect the phone to its own antenna.
If the switch does not reconnect the phone's antenna, the phone will show reduced signal or no service unless the external antenna adapter is inserted.
It is rare for this phone defect to occur but it can happen with the Motorola V3 RAZR series of phones.
If you are unwilling to take this risk, there are two alternatives available:
Wireless amplifier DBSW819 and IVWA819
