NOTE: Be sure the Outside Antenna is
the correct height before applying
Thread Locker.
NOTE: When adding the Side Exit Adapter
hold the Outside Antenna vertically and
screw the adapter from the bottom up.
This reduces cable twisting.

Identify a place to mount the Inside Antenna,
either on the side of the seat or on the dash
and mount. 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/adhesive strip
provided and attach to desired location.

Connect the cable from the Outside Antenna
to the port labeled “Outside Antenna” on the
booster and connect the cable from the Inside
Antenna to the port labeled “Inside Antenna”
on the booster.
STEP 4 Connect Coax Cables
to Booster
from Inside Antenna

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
Drive Reach 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 Drive Reach from draining
the battery in your vehicle.

SOLID GREEN
This indicates that your Drive Reach Booster is functioning properly and there are no
issues with installation.
SOLID RED
Band 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 O
If the Drive Reach Signal Booster’s light is o, verify your power supply has power.
Booster Light Patterns

10
(Booster Light Patterns cont.)
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.

11
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.
1 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.
3 Plug Power Supply back in and ensure switch is in ON position.
4 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 vertical separation.
If you are having any diculties while testing or installing your Booster, contact our
weBoost Customer Support team for assistance (866.294.1660).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can I contact customer support?
Customer Support can be reached Monday through Friday by calling 866.294.1660, or
through our support site at support.weboost.com.
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 8 inches from all persons.
AWS Warning: The Outside Antenna must be installed no higher than 10 meters (31’9”) above ground.
This is a CONSUMER device.
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.

Specifications
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.
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.
