How can I ensure my signal booster installation complies with ANFR guidelines

To ensure your signal booster installation complies with FCC guidelines, you must adhere to the following[3]:

1. Certification Only FCC-approved boosters are legal for use. Verify certification by checking the FCC ID on the device[7]. To legally market a signal booster device, it must complete the FCC's testing and certification process to ensure it complies with technical and regulatory requirements and avoids interfering with cellular communications[6].
2. Installation Proper installation is essential. You should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to avoid interference with nearby cell towers[7]. The user's manual should describe the installation procedure and any power, RF cable, and antenna selection and adjustment guidelines[1].
3. Usage Unauthorized or improperly installed boosters can result in hefty fines and legal action[7]. Consumer signal boosters must meet the Network Protection Standard[8].
4. Labeling All signal booster label advisories must be available online, in point-of-sale marketing materials, in any print or online owner's manual and installation instructions, on the outside packaging of the device, and on a label affixed to the device[3]. The warning label messages and Class A/B disclosure will also be shown in online and point-of-sale marketing materials and on the outside packaging of the device[1].

Subscribers must also do the following[5]:

* Obtain provider consent to operate the booster.
* Register the booster with their provider.
* Limit booster use to certain frequencies used for the provision of subscriber-based services.
* Use an appropriately labeled booster with manufacturer-specified antennas, cables, and/or coupling devices.
* Use a booster that meets the Network Protection Standards and is FCC certificated.
* Operate the booster on a secondary, non-interference basis and shut it down if it causes harmful interference.
* Not deactivate any booster features that are designed to mitigate harmful interference.
