NOTE: Keep in mind to stay below the maximum height limit allowed by law in your area (generally 4.1 m to 4.2 m).
common Outside
Antenna location
Determine where you want the Outside
Antenna on your RV. Mount Outside
Antenna to a ladder or pole so that the
entire Outside Antenna is above the roof
line of the RV and clear of other metal
obstructions.

Verify the Outside Antenna is the correct
height, if so, use thread locker (provided) to
thread points and screw into place.
NOTE: When adding the Side Exit Adapter
hold the Outside Antenna vertically and
screw the Side Exit Adapter from the
bottom up. This reduces cable twisting.

Mount Outside Antenna. L-Bracket
Mount and hardware is provided to
mount to ladder or pole. If installing
with Spring, the Side Exit Adapter must
be used. Then route 7.6 m RG-6 cable
from inside RV to Outside Antenna.
NOTE: Outside Antenna location must
be within reach of the booster with the
7.6 m coax cable. The system performs
best with maximum vertical and
horizontal separation.

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

ENGLISH
(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.

10 ENGLISH
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.
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).

ENGLISH
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can I contact customer support?
Customer Support can be reached Monday thru Friday by calling 866.294.1660, or
through our support site at support.weboost.com.
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.
