Make sure the following materials are prepared and ready for your
installation.
o Ladder
o Drill (if routing cable through wall)
o 2.5cm-7.61cm diameter existing pole for mounting
Outside Antenna (#901117 Pole Mount can be
purchased separately if needed)
o Recommended: Power Strip with surge protection

NOTE: Do not connect booster to power until the system is fully installed.
______
Step 1-A & B: Inside Antenna
& Booster Placement
Place the Inside Antenna where you need the greatest signal boost
and place Booster in your desired location at least 61 cm away from
Inside Antenna.
TIP: The cable from the Inside Antenna can be
routed into the ceiling and connected to the
coax cable out-of-sight for a better look.
AT LEAST 61 cm APART

Pole mounting and wall mounting options are included. The pole mounting
option is preferred because it will be easier to adjust to the direction of

ENGLISH
Point the Outside Antenna toward the nearest cell phone tower. To find the
nearest tower, use an app such as ‘Open Signal’. This is the most critical
step of the installation process because it will determine the overall
performance of the booster system.
The greater the separation between the Inside and Outside Antennas, the
better performance you will get from the booster.
Outside Antenna
NOTE: The Outside Antenna must be at least
15.2 meters horizontal or 6.1 meters vertical
from the Inside Antenna for best performance.
Make sure the Inside Antenna and Outside
Antennas are setup so they are facing away
from each other.

After powering up your system, you are now ready to optimize your system.
Rotate the Outside Antenna in 1/8 turn increments, after each turn, unplug
and reconnect the booster to power while observing the signal level on
your cell phone from the Inside Antenna’s projected area. Secure the
Outside Antenna in place, pointing in the direction that gives you the
strongest signal. Enjoy your boosted signal!
After each rotation, observe signal level
on your cell phone from the Inside Antenna’s
projected area. This is done best by having someone
near the inside antenna taking signal measurements
after the person outside makes each rotation.

Having an accurate measurement of signal strength in decibels (dBm) is crucial when
installing your system. Decibels accurately measure the signal strength you are receiving.

Light Patterns
Solid Green
This indicates that your booster is
functioning properly and there are
no issues with installation.
Blinking Green & Red
Band has reduced gain. 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
Band has shutoff. 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.
Blinking Green & Yellow
Band has reduced gain. This indicates that one or more of the booster bands has reduced
power due to overload from nearby cell tower. 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 Yellow
Band has shutoff due to overload from nearby cell tower. Outside Antenna must be
adjusted. Refer to Troubleshooting section.
Light O
If the Signal Booster’s light is off, verify your power supply has power.

Verify Outside and Inside Antenna face away from each other. Un-plug and
re-plug in power supply.
Verify the Inside Antenna is at least 61 cm from the Booster and pointed away
from the Booster. Unplug and re-plug in power supply.
Tighten all cable connections (be sure to finger tighten only, do NOT use tools).
You may want to undo and redo the connection completely. Unplug and re-
plug in power supply.
Increase the distance (horizontally or vertically) between the Outside and
Inside antenna. Add included cable if needed. Un-plug and re-plug in
power supply.
Outside Antenna must be adjusted. Wait 10 seconds between adjustments for
the lights to reset.

This involves Solid Red & Blinking Green/Red lights.
This involves Solid Yellow & Blinking Green/Yellow lights.
IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE COVERAGE, THESE LIGHT ISSUES DON’T HAVE TO
BE RESOLVED. YOUR CARRIER’S BAND HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED.
Pole Mount Option: Rotate the Outside Antenna away from the strongest
cellular signal in small increments (45°) until the light turns green. Unplug
and re-plug in power supply.
Mounting On Side Of Roof Option: Change mount location. Move the
Outside Antenna to location of the home/building to see if the lights turn
green. Un-plug and re-plug in power supply. Then secure in place.

Safety Guidelines
To uphold compliance with network protection standards, all active cellular devices must
maintain at least 1.8 m of separation distance from Inside Panel and Dome antennas and at
least 1.2 m of separation distance from desktop Antenna.
Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may
damage your equipment.
The Signal Booster unit is designed for use in an indoor, temperature-controlled
environment (less than 37.8°celsius). 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 20.3 cm
from all persons.
AWS Warning: The Outside Antenna must be installed no higher than 10 meters above
ground.
