Nikrans NS-3G-Drive User guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Installation Guide for the Nikrans NS-3G-Drive signal repeater. This document provides instructions on installing and maintaining the device for improving 3G mobile internet inside vehicles. It includes details on the system overview, antenna setup, repeater installation, specifications, and troubleshooting. I'm ready to answer your questions about the device.
  • Will the booster increase RF radiation?
    What should I do if the power indicator is off after installing the repeater?
    If the repeater’s power supply is normal, and the ALM light is on or flashing, what should I do?
    Why is the signal bad even when the repeater and power supply are installed correctly?
    Why is the connection slow or intermittent after installing the repeater?
