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 shut in most vehicle doors without
damage. Alternatively, the cable can be
routed into the vehicle through the third
brake light.

Identify a place to mount the inside antenna.
Mount it either on the side of the seat or on
the dash. 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 Velcro® adhesive strip/adhesive strip
provided and attach to desired location.
NOTE: Do not mount the inside antenna
where an airbag will deploy.

Connect the coax cable from the outside
antenna to the port labeled “Outside Antenna”
on the booster. Then connect the cable from
the inside antenna to the port labeled “Inside
Antenna” on the booster.
STEP 4 Connect Coax Cables

Connect the 12V power supply cord to the end
of the booster, labeled "12V DC." Then plug
the power adapter into vehicle’s 12V DC power
supply. Push switch to ON position. If your
Drive Reach is working correctly, the light on
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 o) and you will be parking for
extended periods of time (more than a day), we
recommend you turn the booster o by pushing
power cord switch to OFF position. This will
prevent the Drive Reach from draining the
battery in your vehicle.

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 OFF
If the Drive Reach signal booster’s light is o, verify your power supply has power.

(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.
