Tips for running cable.

Since you will be running the cable through walls from outside to inside, here're a few tips for that. Cover your connectors with tape before inserting them into the wall. This will protect the connector and center connector. In a lot of instances, these get damaged and a whole new cable needs to be brought in if a replacement connector is not available or factory-like crimping of the connector is not possible.

Before you install anything, make sure you dry fit every component where it will be installed (soft installation). This will help you avoid any unnecessary drilling or guesswork for the final installation. On that note, make sure you choose and mark your outdoor antenna location before you run any cable and always ensure there are no gas, electrical or water lines in your way before you choose an installation site. Also, if the home has a vented attic, you can run the cable through the vent or next to a vent pipe and into the attic. But make sure that you seal up any holes so that no pests can get in.

Mounting outside antenna.

There're two options for mounting the outside antenna. You can mount it directly to a pole using the included brackets, or you can use the J-bar mount. Mount outside antenna on the side of the building that allows antenna to point away from the building structure. To find the direction of the nearest cell tower, use the signal meter. To do that, connect the signal meter directly to your antenna, then sweep the direction finding antenna in a 360-degree pattern. Note the signal on the meter until you find the area of strongest signal. That is where your tower is. Or you can use the open signal app on your phone to find the location of the nearest tower.
