Works with Different Overland Vehlde Types

STEP 1 Assemble the
Outside Antenna
The antenna should be mounted above
gearon top of the vehicle. Once you
have determined the bestlocation for
the outside antenna, insert coax cable
through mast extension (mast can be
used optionally), then through
side-exit adapter.

(STEP 1cont.)
Apply thread locker(provided) to thread
points and screw into place. Be sure the
outside antenna is the correct height
before applying thread locker. Connect
14-foot cable to outside antenna cable.
Heat shrink tube can be applied to the
connection (optional).

STEP 2 Mount the Outside
Antenna with Overland
Mounting Bracket
This kit includes a folding mounting
bracket (can be secured at 90 °, 45°, 135°
or horizontal). This makes it easier to install
the outside antenna to differenttypes of
overland vehicles. The overland folding
mounting bracket is very versatile with
different mounting options.

T-Track Mounting Option
For vehicles with t-track roof rack systems, the
provided mounting bracket can be mounted
to the roofrack. Use the t-track mounting
hardware to secure the bracket to roofrack,
then screw in assembled outside antenna.

(STEP 2 cont.)
Route Cable into Vehicle
Once the outside antenna is mounted and
secured, route the coax cable into the
vehicle. The cable is strong enough that it
may be shutin most vehicle doors without
damage . Alternatively, the cable can be
routed into the vehicle through the third
brake light.

STEP 3 Mounting the Inside
Antenna
Identify a place to mount the inside antenna.
Mount it either on the dash or the side of the
seat. The antenna should be placed at least
18 inches but no more than 36 inches from
where the cellular device will be used. Use
the Velcroe adhesive strip/adhesive strip
provided and attach to desired location.
NOTE: Do not mount the inside antenna
where an airbag will deploy.

STEP 4 Connect Coax Cables
to Booster
Connect the coax cable from the outside
antenna to the port labeled "OutsideAntenna"
on the booster. Then connect the cable from
the inside antenna to the port labeled "Inside
Antenna" on the booster.

STEP 5 Connect Power Supply
to Booster
Connect the 12V power supply cord to the end
of the booster, labeled "12V DC." Then plug
the power adapter into vehicle's12V DC power
supply. Push switch to ON position. If your
Drive Reach is working correctly, the lighton
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 off) and you will be parking for
extended periods of time (more than a day), we
recommend you turn the booster off by pushing
power cord switch to OFF position. This will
prevent the Drive Reach from draining the
battery in your vehicle.

Booster Light Patterns
SOLID GREEN
This indicates that your Drive Reach booster is functioning properlyand there are no
issues with installation.
SOLID RED
Band has shutoff. This is due to a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a
built in safetyfeature that causes a band to shut off to prevent harmful interference
with a nearbycell 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 nearbycell tower . If you are alreadyexperiencing
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 OFF
If the Drive Reach signal booster's light is off, verifyyour power supply has power .

{Booster Light Patterns cont.)
NOTE: The signal boostercan 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.

Troubleshooting
FIXING BLINKING OR RED LIGHT ISSUES
This section is only applicable if the light on the booster is red or blinking red and
you are not experiencing the desired signal boost.
1 Unplug the booster's power supply.
2 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 1through 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 distancethan vertical separation.
If you are having anydifficulties whiletesting or installing your booster, contact our
weBoostCustomer Supportteam for assistance (1-866-294-1660).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can I contact customer support?
CustomerSupportcan be reached Mondaythrough Friday by calling 1-866-294-1660,
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 boostercreate 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 its power or shut down to preventdamage.
The best way to keep these spheres of signal from overlapping is to maximize
separation between the inside and outside antennas.
