Installation Options
Vehicle Installation Option
1. Attach the Mounting Bracket to the
vehicle’s dashboard.
• Clean the area where the bracket is
to be mounted with the alcohol wipe
included. Allow the area to dry.
• Peel the backing to expose the adhesive
and press the bracket onto the desired
location on the dashboard. NOTE: Be
sure the tab is positioned vertically.
• Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours
before you attach the Drive 3G-S
(Step 4).
2. Install the Outside Antenna. Select a
location on top of the car that is:
• Near the center of the vehicle’s roof.
• At least 12 inches from any other
antennas.
• Free of obstructions.
• At least 6 inches from any windows
(including sunroofs).
The Outside Antenna must be installed
vertically.
3. Run the Outside Antenna cable into the
car. The cable is strong enough that it
may be shut in most vehicle doors without
damaging the cable. For a cleaner look,
carefully pull down the door seal, run the
cable under the seal, and push the seal
back into place. This method reduces wear
on the cable as the door opens and closes.
4. Attach the Drive 3G-S to the Mounting
Bracket. After waiting 24 hours for the
adhesive on the bracket to cure, attach
the Drive 3G-S by aligning the rectangular
hole on the back of the Drive 3G-S with
the tab on the Mounting Bracket, grasping
the sides of the Drive 3G-S, and sliding it
downward approximately ¼ inch into place.
The Mounting Bracket is designed to
swivel for more convenient viewing angles.
Once the Drive 3G-S is in place, you
can adjust the angle of the bracket by
loosening the knurled nut, applying gentle
pressure to the top or bottom of the Drive
3G-S, and then tightening the nut when the
desired angle is achieved.
5. Attach the antenna to the Drive 3G-S.
Connect the cable from the Outside
Antenna to the antenna connector on the
bottom of the Drive 3G-S. Do NOT plug
in the power supply (next step) until the
Outside Antenna cable is connected to the
Drive 3G-S.
Note: The Drive 3G-S has a convenient mini-
USB charging port located on the right
side of your booster. This port allows
for charging your phone or device.
weBoost offers several cables for this
purpose.
• 859966, mini-USB to mini-USB
• 859979, mini-USB to iPhone (up to 4S)
• 859967, mini-USB to micro-USB

magnet base of the antenna to the at
surface of the bracket. The antenna must
be mounted vertically for the best signal.
2. Install the Mounting Bracket and Drive 3G-S.
Put your Drive 3G-S in the Mounting Bracket
(see instructions under Vehicle Installation)
and place it in a convenient location such as
a desk or table top in the room where you
will use the phone. The location should be at
least three feet from the Outside Antenna to
avoid oscillation (feedback). Your cell phone
must be in the cradle for the Drive 3G-S to
amplify the signal. Use a Bluetooth headset,
wired hands-free device or speakerphone for
talking on the phone.
3. Attach the antenna to the Drive 3G-S.
Connect the cable from the Outside
Antenna to the antenna connector on the
bottom of the Drive 3G-S. Do NOT plug
in the power supply (next step) until the
Outside Antenna cable is connected to the
Drive 3G-S.
4. Power up your Drive 3G-S. Connect the
power cable to the mini-USB port on the
bottom of the Drive 3G-S. Then insert
the adapter into the AC power supply
(859969), sold separately. Use only the
supplied weBoost power supply.
6. Power up your Drive 3G-S. Connect the
power cable to the mini-USB port on the
bottom of the Drive 3G-S. Then insert the
adapter into the vehicle 12V DC power
source. Use only the supplied weBoost
power supply. While the Drive 3G-S may
remain on, leaving the Drive 3G-S on
in a vehicle when it is not running may
discharge the battery in a day or two. Also
note that some 12V DC power sources
are shut down when the vehicle ignition
is turned to off. Use a Bluetooth headset,
wired hands-free device or speakerphone for
talking on the phone.
In-Building Installation Option
Note: Home Ofce Accessory Kit sold
separately
1. Install the Outside Antenna to a window. For
best results:
• Select a window on the side of the building
where you get the strongest cell signal.
• Attach the suction cup bracket (sold
separately) to the inside of a window so
the cable will reach the location of the
Mounting Bracket and Drive 3G-S. Place
the bracket as high on the window as
possible.
NOTE: Many modern energy efcient dual
pane windows use a metal coating that
may decrease the strength of a cellular
signal, reducing the effectiveness of
the Drive 3G-S. If you have dual pane
windows, consider a weBoost signal
boost product that provides an option for
mounting an antenna on an outside wall or
roof of a building.
• With the bracket in place, attach the

Green/red Blinking indicates that the
booster is operating at a reduced gain to
prevent oscillation (feedback).
Fixing Red Light Issues
If one or more lights on the Signal Boost are red:
1. Make sure all connections are tight.
2. Increase the distance between the outside
antenna and the Drive 3G-S, by moving
them horizontally and/or vertically farther
apart until the light(s) change to green.
Remember to keep the antenna at least
6 inches from any window or sunroof.
3. Follow the same steps for a green/red
blinking light until the light goes solid
green.
4. If more separation is not possible and the
coverage of the booster is too small with a
green/red blinking light indicating reduced
gain, contact the Customer Support Team
for assistance:
800-501-3153.
Lights Off
1. Check connections on the power supply
to see that it is rmly plugged into both the
Drive 3G-S and the power source.
2. If using a DC power supply in your
vehicle, ensure the power supply is
properly inserted. Then check the 12 volt
power from the car socket and the fuse.
Replace the fuse if necessary.
3. If using a power strip in a building, ensure
the power strip is plugged in and turned
on and that power is coming from the
outlet.
NOTE: The Signal Booster can be reset by
disconnecting and reconnecting the power
supply.

What hours can I contact customer support?
Adjusting the Drive 3G-S Arms
To change arms, gently lift the arm upward until
the arm slides free from the Drive 3G-S.
To reposition arms, move the arm above a
different slot on the Drive 3G-S and gently
slide the arm down until the arm is rmly in
place.
Troubleshooting &
Understanding the Light
The Signal Boost includes a indicator light on
the side of the Drive 3G-S. The indicator light
will either be green or red.

How does weather affect the performance of my
Outside Antenna?
Water vapor (e.g. rain, fog, snow or other
precipitation) creates an effective lter to cellular
signal. In times of heavy precipitation, you may
see less performance.
What’s the difference between the 800 MHz and
the 1900 MHz bands? How do I know which MHz
band my cell phone uses?
The Drive 3G-S works with all major North
American cellular providers on the 800 & 1900
MHz frequencies. Traditionally, 800/1900MHz are
associated with voice and 3G data; while 700MHz
and 1700/2100MHz are associated with 4G data.

BEFORE USE, you MUST REGISTER THIS DEVICE with your wireless provider and have your
provider’s consent. Most wireless providers consent to the use of signal boosters. Some
providers may not consent to the use of this device on their network. If you are unsure,
contact your provider.
You MUST operate this device with approved antennas and cables as specified by the
manufacturer. Antennas MUST be installed at least 20 cm (8 inches) from any person.
You MUST cease operating this device immediately if requested by the FCC or a licensed
wireless service provider.
WARNING. E911 location information may not be provided or may be inaccurate for calls
served by using this device.
This is a CONSUMER device.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by weBoost could void the authority to operate
this equipment.
Each Signal Booster is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. The Signal Booster cannot
be adjusted without factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Booster will amplify, but not alter
incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Booster
is not in use for five minutes, it will reduce gain until a signal is detected. If a detected signal is too high in a frequency
band, or if the Signal Booster detects an oscillation, the Signal Booster will automatically turn the power off on that
band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Booster will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1
minute. After 5 (five) such automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut off until the Signal Booster
has been manually restarted by momentarily removing power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity
are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor.
Safety and Recommendations
WARNING: Connecting the Signal Booster directly to the cell phone with use of an adapter will damage the cell
phone.
WARNING: Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may damage your
equipment.
WARNING: To uphold compliance with network protection standards, all active wireless devices must maintain at
least 18” of separation distance from mobile inside antennas, 4’ of separation distance from desktop
antennas and 6’ of separation distance from Panel and Dome antennas.
WARNING: The Signal Booster unit is designed for use in an indoor, temperature-controlled environment (less than
150 degrees Fahrenheit). It is not intended for use in attics or similar locations subject to temperatures in
excess of that range.
RF SAFETY WARNING: Any antenna used with this device must be located at least 8 inches from all persons. The
FCC requires that a cell phone with cradle attached may only be used with the cradle mounted as
illustrated in this installation guide. A cell phone held near the ear must be without the cradle attached.

The Manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the
rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This
power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
