Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. As a general rule the signal loss through a floor is about the same as the signal loss through a wall in a typical wood framed structure.

Add a battery backup system. Systems are readily available and will last for years. CelLynx offers a battery backup option designed specifically for the CelLynx booster.

Not recommended.

Yes, though this is not recommended. The CelLynx booster will work outdoors but it is not designed to handle the moisture, temperatures and sunlight of the outdoor environment. Although, it could function as well outdoors, to ensure the booster will maintain a long service life it should be kept indoors. Better to position the booster, optimally, inside a window as near to the outdoor area where you seek coverage.

No. Because of the frequency at which cellular signals operate, weather conditions do not affect signal quality and would not impede booster performance. The CelLynx booster might be affected a bit by a densely leafed tree if it were right outside its window compared with the same barren tree in the winter.

Yes, the CelLynx booster is designed to improve coverage in a home or small office including several simultaneous calls.

Yes, as long as there are: 1) clear paths in front of and behind the booster for the antennas inside the booster to operate properly, and; 2) there are no noticeable issues with using the mobile phone itself near the electronic component. Note: A GSM mobile phone itself can easily cause unwanted speaker noises especially when a microphone or AM radio is in use nearby, so ‘repeating’ that signal adjacent to a radio or microphone could cause interference.

No. It contains no batteries, no moving parts, and is 100 percent maintenance free.

Yes. The two main considerations are the frequency bands and the signal strengths of the multiple service providers. The CelLynx booster currently is offered in two models for PCS and DCS (international) frequency bands. This means that if the service provider is operating in either one of those bands the CelLynx booster is capable of boosting the signal. If the signals of multiple service providers are in the PCS or DCS band depending on region, a common location for placement of the booster needs to be found where signals are present from both service providers for ‘repeating.’
