 At least 12 inches away from any other antennas
 At least 12 inches away from any windows
(including sunroofs)
Clean the surface where you will place the outside

NOTE: When going through a car wash,
remember to remove your antenna.
NOTE: The cable is strong enough that it
may be routed under weather stripping
and shut in most vehicle doors without
damaging the cable.
Car/Sedan: Cable routed
into rear side door.
SUV/Van/Hatchback: Cable
routed into top of hatchback door.
Truck: Cable routed into
side door.

Step 2: Mount Inside Antenna
Identify a place to mount the In-Vehicle Antenna, either on the
side of the seat or on the dash and mount. The location should
be at least 18 inches but no more than 36 inches from where
the cellular device will be used. Use the Velcro® adhesive strip
or the 2-sided adhesive strip provided and attach to the side
of the antenna labeled “MOUNTING SIDE”. Then mount to
desired location.

Step 5: Plug Power Adapter
Into Vehicle’s Power Supply
Plug the power adapter into vehicle’s 12V DC power supply.
The Drive Reach will automatically power on when plugged in.
If your Drive Reach is working correctly, the light on the power
adapter will be red, and 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
the LED light, which is also a button. This will prevent the Drive Reach from
draining the battery in your vehicle.

Booster Light Patterns
NEED HELP? support.weboost.com 866.294.1660
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 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.
Solid Red
This is due to a major oscillation (feedback) loop. 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.
Light O
If the Drive Reach 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
How can I contact customer support?
Customer Support can be reached Monday thru Friday by calling 866.294.1660, or
through our support site at support.weboost.com.
Why do I need to create distance between the booster and the antenna?
Antennas connected to a booster create 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 it’s power or shut down to prevent damage.
The best way to keep these spheres of signal from overlapping is to maximize
separation between the inside and outside antennas.
______
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 vertical separation.
If you are having any diculties while testing or installing your booster, contact
our weBoost Customer Support team for assistance (866.294.1660).
