4. Setup Instructions

1. Identify the SMA Port: Locate the SMA connector port on your device (e.g., mobile hotspot, modem, router). The antenna's cable terminates in an SMA connector.
2. Connect the Antenna: Carefully screw the SMA connector from the antenna cable onto the SMA port of your device. Ensure a snug fit, but do not overtighten.
3. Position the Antenna:
   • Attach the suction cup base to the bottom of the antenna.
   • Choose a location for the antenna that is clear of obstructions and as high as possible for optimal signal reception. This could be a window, a wall (using the suction cup), or a flat surface.
   • Ensure the surface is clean and smooth for the suction cup to adhere properly.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the ASHATA SMA Antenna is correctly connected to your device and positioned, it will immediately begin to function as an external signal booster. No additional software or configuration is typically required.

• The antenna's 35dBi high gain is designed to significantly improve the reception and transmission capabilities of your connected device.
• For optimal performance, experiment with different antenna placements to find the position that yields the strongest and most stable signal.
• The antenna supports a wide range of frequencies, making it suitable for various network types.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ASHATA SMA Antenna, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the antenna's surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no moisture enters the connectors.
• Connector Care: Keep the SMA connectors clean and free from dust or debris. Avoid bending or damaging the connector pins.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically check the cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain signal integrity.
• Storage: When not in use, store the antenna in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your ASHATA SMA Antenna, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Signal Improvement:
  • Ensure the SMA connector is securely attached to your device.
  • Try repositioning the antenna. Higher locations and positions closer to external signals often yield better results.
  • Verify that your device's external antenna port is enabled or configured correctly, if applicable.
  • Check if your device supports SMA connectors and the frequency bands of the antenna.
• Intermittent Connection:
  • Inspect the cable for any damage or kinks.
  • Ensure the suction cup is firmly attached to a clean, smooth surface to prevent accidental movement.
  • Minimize interference from other electronic devices by keeping the antenna away from them.
• Suction Cup Not Holding:
  • Clean both the suction cup and the mounting surface thoroughly.
  • Slightly moisten the suction cup before applying it to a non-porous surface.
