______
Step 1: Mount Outside
Antenna & Route Cable
Determine where you want the Outside Antenna on your RV.
Mount Outside Antenna to a ladder or pole so that the entire
Outside Antenna is above the roof line of the RV and clear of
other metal obstructions.
NOTE: Keep in mind to stay below the maximum height limit allowed by law,
which varies from state to state (generally 14’ in western states and 13’6” in
eastern states).
NOTE: This must be in a location within reach of the booster with the
25’ coax cable (installed in Step 4). The system performs best with maximum
vertical and horizontal separation.

Determine where you want the cable to enter the RV.
NOTE: With this option, we recommend doing a ‘soft install’ before drilling
the hole. Set up the system by routing the cable through an open door or
window, completing the setup instructions, verifying the system works as
desired, and then drilling the hole.
WARNING: Be sure to stay clear of
any power, pipes, etc. that may be
damaged.
Option A: Using existing
cable entry point.
Option B: Through the slider on
your RV (using the slider gasket as
a seal).
Option C: Drill a hole with the
included hole saw bit.

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.
Did you know a signal increase of just 3dB is 2 times the power and signal amplification!

______
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.
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.
Light O
If the Drive X 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.ca.
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 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 diculties while testing or installing your booster, contact
our weBoost Customer Support team for assistance (866.294.1660).

persons.
AWS Warning: The Outside Antenna must be installed no higher than 32 feet 9 inches (10 meters)
above ground.
