Identify a location on the top of your vehicle
that is:
■ Near the center of the roof.
■At least 30cm away from any other
antennas.
■At least 30cm away from any windows
(for best performance install on top of
vehicle).
Clean the surface where you will place the
outside antenna. Mount the outside antenna
by placing on top of vehicle.
Note: The cable is strong enough that it may
be routed under weather stripping and shut in
most vehicle doors.
STEP 1 Mount the Outside
Antenna
30cm away from
windows (including
sunroofs)

3
(STEP 1 cont.)
Car/Sedan: Cable routed into rear
side door.
SUV/Van/Hatchback: Cable routed into
top of hatchback door.
Truck: Cable routed into side door.
See options on how cable can be routed with dierent vehicles.
Note: When going though a car wash, remember to remove your antenna.

STEP 2 Mount the Inside Antenna
Identify a place to mount the in-vehicle
antenna, either on the side of the seat or on
the dash and mount. The location should be
at least 45cm but no more than 92cm from
where the cellular device will be used. Use
the Velcro® adhesive strip/adhesive strip
provided and attach to desired location.

Connect the cable from the outside antenna
to the port labeled “Outside Antenna” on
the AM100-Pro booster.
Note: The Velcro® strip on the bottom of the
booster can also be used to keep booster
from sliding around.
STEP 3 Connect Outside
Antenna to Booster
from Outside Antenna
Connect the cable from the inside antenna
to the port labeled “Inside Antenna” on the
booster.
STEP 4 Connect Inside Antenna
to Booster
from Inside Antenna

6
Connect the 12V power supply cord to the end
of the booster, labeled "12V DC" then plug the
power adapter into vehicle’s 12V DC power
supply. Push switch to ON position. If your
AM100-Pro is working correctly, the light on
the booster will be green. Use only the power
supply provided in this package.
Note: If the 12V Cigarette Lighter port on your
car is always on (even when your vehicle
is turned o) and you will be parking for
extended periods of time (more than a day),
we recommend you turn the booster o by
pushing power cord switch to OFF position.
This will prevent the AM100-Pro from draining
the battery in your vehicle.
Note: When going through car wash, remember
to remove your outside antenna.

SOLID GREEN
This indicates that your AM100-Pro booster is functioning properly and there are no
issues with installation.
SOLID RED
Booster has shuto. This is due to a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is
a built in safety feature that causes a band to shut o to prevent harmful interference
with a nearby cell tower. Refer to Troubleshooting section.
BLINKING RED, THEN SOLID GREEN
This indicates that one or more of the Booster bands has reduced power due to a
minor feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a built in safety feature to
prevent harmful interference with a nearby cell tower. If you are already experiencing
the desired signal boost, then no further adjustments are necessary. If you are not
experiencing the desired boost in coverage then refer to the Troubleshooting section.
LIGHT OFF
If the AM100-Pro booster’s light is o, verify your power supply has power.
Booster Light Patterns

(Booster Light Patterns cont.)
NOTE: The AM100-Pro booster can be reset by disconnecting and reconnecting
the power supply.
After troubleshooting you must initiate a new power cycle by disconnecting and then
reconnecting power to the booster.

FIXING BLINKING OR RED LIGHT ISSUES
This section is only applicable if the Booster is red or blinking red and you are not
experiencing the desired signal boost.
■ Unplug the booster’s power supply.
■ Relocate the inside and outside antenna further from each other. The objective is
to increase the separation distance between them, so that they will not create this
feedback condition discussed before.
■ Plug power supply back in and ensure switch is in ON position.
■ Monitor the indicator light on your booster. If, after a few seconds of ‘power on’,
a solid or blinking red light appears, repeat prior steps. Increase the separation
distance until the condition is corrected and/or desired coverage area is achieved.
If you are having any diculties while testing or installing your Booster, email our
Customer Support team at [email protected].
Troubleshooting

(Troubleshooting cont.)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can I contact customer support?
Customer Support can be reached at [email protected]
Why do I need to create distance between the Outside Antenna and Inside Antenna?
Antennas connected to a booster create spheres of signal. When these spheres
overlap, a condition called oscillation occurs. Oscillation can be thought of as noise,
which causes the booster to scale down it’s power or shut down to prevent damage.
The best way to keep these spheres of signal from overlapping is to maximize
separation between the inside and outside antennas.

Safety Guidelines
Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may damage your
equipment.
Connecting this signal booster directly to the cell phone with use of an adapter will damage the cell phone.
RF Safety Warning: Any antenna used with this device must be located at least 20cm from all persons.

AM100-Pro Cell Signal Booster
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.
