Step 1-A: Drill Cable Entry
Hole Into Your Vehicle
Identify a location for NMO Outside Antenna on the
top of your vehicle that is:
 Near the center of the roof
 At least 12 inches away from any other antennas
 At least 6 inches away from any windows
(for best performance install on top of vehicle)
Do a ‘soft install’ before drilling the hole for the
cable entry.
 Set up the system by routing the cable through
an open door or window, completing the setup
instructions, verifying the system works as desired,
and then drilling the hole.

The location should be at least 18 inches but no more than 36
inches from where the cellular device will be used. Use the
Velcro® adhesive strip or the 2-sided adhesive strip provided
and attach to the side of the antenna labeled “MOUNTING

Before connecting the power supply, disconnect the vehicle battery
leads to avoid any electrical shocks during installation.
Locate a place where cables are already running through the firewall
(rear wall of engine bay) to the inside of the cabin.
Locate the same firewall hole from inside of the vehicle cabin.
Route the power cables of the power supply from the inside of the
vehicle cabin out through firewall hole.
Note: The cables must be routed inside to outside since the power
supply brick won’t fit through the firewall holes. The power supply
brick should remain inside the vehicle cabin.
Connect the positive lead of the power supply (lead with red tape)
to the disconnected positive (+) lead of the battery (not the positive
terminal on the battery itself).
Connect the negative lead of the power supply (lead without tape)
to the disconnected negative (-) lead of the battery (not the negative
terminal on the battery itself).
Connect the positive (+) lead back to the vehicle battery.
Connect the negative (-) lead back to the vehicle battery.

the power supply.

NOTE: Having the power supply directly connected to the battery may
drain the battery’s life. Please review the vehicle’s owner’s manual for more
information. Adding a “fuse tap” may be another solution. A “fuse tap” is an
electrical part that functions as a power splitter and is meant to be installed
in the car’s fuse box, making the amp shut o when the vehicle’s ignition
switch is turned o.

labeled “Outside Antenna” on the booster.
Connect the cable from the 4G In-Vehicle Antenna to the port
labeled “Inside Antenna” on the booster.

NOTE: Bracket can be used to fasten booster in a specific location if desired.
The Velcro® strip on the bottom of the bracket can also be used to keep
booster from sliding around.

Light Patterns
NEED HELP?
Solid Green
This indicates that your booster is functioning properly and there are no issues with
installation.
Blinking Red, Then Solid Green
This indicates that one or more of the booster bands has reduced power due
to a 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.
Solid Red
This is due to a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a built in safety
feature that causes a band to shut off to prevent harmful interference with a nearby
cell tower. Refer to Troubleshooting section.
Light O
If the Drive Reach Signal Booster’s light is off, verify your power supply has power.
NOTE: The Signal 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What hours can I contact customer support?
Customer Support can be reached monday thru friday by calling
Why do I need to create distance between the booster and the 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.
______
Troubleshooting
FIXING BLINKING OR SOLID RED ISSUES
This section is only applicable if the booster is red or blinking red and you are not
experiencing the desired signal boost.
1

3
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.
Monitor the indicator light on your booster. If, after a few seconds of ‘power
on’, a solid or blinking red light appears, repeat steps 1 through 3. Increase the
separation distance until the condition is corrected and/or desired coverage
area is achieved. Note: Horizontal separation of the two antennas typically
requires a shorter separation distance than perpendicular separation.
If you are having any diculties while testing or installing your booster, contact
our Customer Support team for assistance (855.846.2654).

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 licensed wireless
service provider.
WARNING. E911 location information may not be provided or may be inaccurate for calls served by
using this device.
Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may damage
your equipment.
All inside antennas must have at least 1.5’ separation distance from all active users.

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 o 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 o 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.
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.
