Plug the power adapter into vehicle's 12V DC power supply. Power
up your AM100-Pro by flipping the switch on the back of the DC
power adapter on. If your Drive AM100-Pro is working correctly, the
light will be green.

NEED HELP?
______
Light Patterns
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 below.
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 below.
Light Off
If the AM100-Pro 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 to friday by calling 011 749 3085 or
through our support site at www.boltontechnical.co.za
Why do I need to create distance between the booster and the antenna?
Antennas connected to a booster create spheres of signal. Whenthese spheres
overlap, a condition called oscillation occurs. Oscillation can be thought of as noise,
which causes the booster to shut down to prevent damage. The best way to keep
these spheres of signal from overlapping is to maximize separation between the
Booster and Antenna.
______
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
2
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 difficulties while testing or installing your booster,
contact our weBoost Customer Support team for assistance (011 749 3085).

The Manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would
have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to
be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
