optimal locations for the inside and outside antennas, then through the process of the
permanent installation.
You Will Need (tools not included)
Make sure the following materials are prepared and ready for your installation.
o Ladder
o Phillips-head screwdriver
o 10mm open-end wrench or adjustable wrench
o Drill (if routing cable through wall)
o Mounting Option A:1-2” diameter pole (#901117) or an
existing pole

Dial *3001#12345#* then press Call.
1Hold down power button until you see 'Slide to
Power O'.
2Then release the power button.
3 Hold the Home button until your main screen appears.
If you want to check 3G/1x but your iPhone is picking up 4G/
LTE signal, go to Settings>Cellular>Cellular Data Options>En-
able LTE>Select O.
After you system is set up, you can go back to the dots signal
by once again dialing *3001#12345#* then pressing call.When
the menu comes back up, tap “phone” in the top left corner of
your phone.
Settings > About Phone > Status or Network > Signal Strength

Step 2: Find The dBm
Reading On Your Phone
All Other Phones & Alternate Methods
• https://www.weboost.com/test-mode-instructions/
All Phones:
• Keep track of the network (3G or 4G) phone is connected to.
• Any signal readings you take are valid for that phone’s carrier. To get readings
from other carriers, you’ll need phones from each carrier.

Step 3: Measure Signal
Strength For Inside
Antenna Placement
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. Test both 3G and 4G signal for best results by turning the LTE o in
the carrier settings of your device.
SIGNAL STRENGTH EXCELLENT GOOD FAIR POOR DEAD ZONE
3G/1x
(typically voice) -70dBm -71 to -85dBm -86 to -100dBm -101 to -109dBm -110dBm
4G/LTE
(typically data) -90dBm -91 to -105dBm -106 to -110dBm -111 to -119dBm -120dBm
Turn o your cell phone’s WiFi to ensure you
are checking the cellular connection. The dBm
reading will be refreshed every 30-60 seconds.
Want faster results? Once you have a reading,
turn on airplane mode. Wait 15 seconds.
Turn o airplane mode. The signal strength
reading is refreshed.
Walk around your home/oce taking signal
strength readings until you find the area that has
the weakest reception, or number farthest away
from zero. For example -100 is a weaker signal
than -80.
Weakest Signal Number:___________
Weakest Signal Location: ___________
Place your Inside Antenna in this poor signal area.
For best results, keep the inside antenna more
than 18 inches away from the booster.

______
Step 4: Measure Signal
Strength For Outside
Antenna Placement
This is the most critical step of the installation
process because it will determine the overall
performance of the booster system. Using the
same method as Step 3, find the place with the
strongest signal (number closest to zero) on the
outside of your home.
The further apart the Inside Antenna is located
from the Outside Antenna, the better. To
determine the best location for your Outside
Antenna, note the dBm reading in a variety of
locations.

6CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER HOME ROOM
ENGLISH
______
Step 5: Temporarily Mount
The Outside Antenna
Use one of the two options to mount the
outside antenna on the side of the house with
the strongest signal.
Note: Using an app like 'Open Signal' will help
you point the outside antenna in the direction of
the nearest cell phone tower.
AOption (Best)
BOption (Better)
Note: The Outside Antenna must be at least
50 feet horizontal or 20 feet vertical from the
Inside Antenna for best performance. Make sure
the Inside Antenna and outside Antennas are
facing away from each other.

Step 6: Placing Inside Antenna
And Connect The System
Connect the supplied Inside Antenna to
end of booster labeled Inside.
Power up the Booster by connecting it
to a power source.
Note: To protect Booster from power
surges, connect to a power strip.
Connect the supplied Coax Cable to
end of booster labeled Outside.
If you choose to bring the cable in
through a window, you can use the flat
Window Entry Cable to connect the
two 15 feet cable sections. You can
use this option during set-up and/or
permanently if you don’t want to drill
holes through your wall.
Place inside antenna in weak signal
area at least 18 inches away from
booster.

Step 7: Compare Results
Using the field test mode described in step 3, measure the new signal
strength and write it down here ___________.
Compare this number with the original reading you took in the same part of the house.
If the number is higher (closer to zero) than the original reading without booster, your
booster is working. If it is not, look at the lights on the booster and the section at the
end of this manual “Test System: Lights”.

Step 9: Route & Secure
The Cable
Secure cable on outside home/oce. If following Option A, some homes have eaves
you can tuck the cable between the sot and the exterior wall. If needed, cable clips
can be purchased at most hardware stores.

To protect your system , you will want to purchase/install a lightening surge
protector (#859992). To purchase, call 866-294-1660 or visit weboost.com
After installing your system, check the lights after 24 hours to ensure no
changes.
If the Outside Antenna is mounted outdoors, weatherproof connections 1”
(25mm) beyond where the connections begin and end with electrical tape.
Optional: To improve the aesthetic of your antennas use non-metallic paint.
If you haven’t already, be sure to register your product!
Note: A flat Window Entry Cable is provided that allows you
to run the cable through a window if needed.

Troubleshooting
Fix Any Red Light Problems (red indicates oscillation)
• If you are happy with coverage, red lights don’t have to be resolved.
• Solid Red = Band has shut o
• Blinking Green/Red = Band has reduced gain
Each light corresponds to a frequency band.
No Lights
Booster does not have power. Un-plug and securely re-plug in power supply.
Note: Lights may be dim.
IMPORTANT: To get an accurate reading of the lights, unplug and re-plug
the power supply from the Booster.

1Verify Outside Antenna faces away from the
Inside Antenna. Un-plug and re-plug in power
supply.
2Verify the Inside Antenna is at least 18” from the
Booster and pointed away from the Booster. Un-
plug and re-plug in power supply.
3Tighten all cable connections (be sure to hand-
tighten only, do NOT use tools). Un-plug and re-
plug in power supply. You may want to undo and
redo the connection completely.
4BEST: 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: The skinny side
should always face outside, towards the
cell tower.

Fix Any Orange Light Problems (orange indicates a cell
tower is close by)
If you are happy with coverage, orange lights don’t have to be resolved
• Solid Orange = Band has shut o
• Blinking Green/Orange = Band has reduced gain.
1If the light is solid orange, the Outside Antenna must be adjusted (see below). Wait
10 seconds between adjustments for the lights to reset.
• For Roof/Pole Mount Option = Rotate the Outside Antenna away from the
strongest cellular signal in small increments (45°) until the light turns green. Un-
plug and re-plug power supply.
• For All Other Mount Options = Change mount location. For example, if the
Outside Antenna is a window mount, move the Outside Antenna to a wall
outside the building to see if the lights turn green. Un-plug and re-plug power
supply.
2If the light is blinking green/orange, re-locate the Outside Antenna. Un-plug and
re-plug power supply.
All Green Lights? = Band is set up optimally. Verify you
have good coverage.
If you have green lights, but poor coverage:
• Rotate the Outside Antenna in small increments (roof/pole mount only). Un-plug
and re-plug power supply.
• Move the Outside Antenna to a dierent location. Un-plug and re-plug power
supply.
• Change the method of mounting the Outside Antenna. Un-plug and re-plug power
supply.
