Preparation

You Will Need (tools not included)

Make sure the following materials are prepared and ready for your installation.

1 to 2 hours

1 Person (2 people to make antenna calibration easier)

  Ladder

  Drill (if routing cable through wall)

 

Outside Antenna (#901117 Pole Mount can be purchased separately if needed)

______

Step 1-A & B: Inside Antenna

Placement

Place the Inside Antenna where you need the greatest signal boost and place Booster in your desired location at least 18” away from

Inside Antenna.

NOTE: Do not connect booster to power until the system is fully installed.

TIP: The cable from the Inside Antenna can be routed into the ceiling and connected to the coax cable out-of-sight for a better look.

Step 2: Mount Antenna

And Point Outside Antenna

Toward Nearest Cell Tower

Pole mounting and wall mounting options are included.

The pole mounting option is preferred because it will be easier to adjust to the direction of the cell tower.

Attach the Mount to the Outside Antenna and use the Bracket Clamps to attach the Antenna to a pole or exhaust pipe.

______

(STEP 2 cont.)

Point the Outside Antenna toward the nearest cell phone tower. To fi nd the nearest tower, use an app such as ‘Open Signal’. This is the most critical step of the installation process because it will determine the overall performance of the booster system. The greater the separation between the Inside and Outside Antennas, the better performance you will get from the booster.

Outside Antenna

NOTE: The Outside Antenna must be at least

50 feet horizontal or 20 feet vertical from the Inside Antenna for best performance.

Make sure the Inside Antenna and Outside

Antennas are setup so they are facing away from each other.

(STEP 4 cont.)

After powering up your system, you are now ready to optimize your system.

Rotate the Outside Antenna in 1/4 turn increments, after each turn, unplug and reconnect the booster to power while observing the signal level on your cell phone from the Inside Antenna’s projected area. Secure the

Outside Antenna in place, pointing in the direction that gives you the strongest signal. Enjoy your boosted signal!

After each rotation, observe signal level on your cell phone from the Inside Antenna’s projected area. This is done best by having someone near the inside antenna taking signal measurements after the person outside makes each rotation.

Light Patterns

Booster lights

Solid Green

This indicates that your booster is functioning properly and there are no issues with installation.

Blinking Green, Then

Red

Band 2/25 Band 4 Band 5 Band 12/13/17

Band has reduced gain. 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

Band has shutoff. 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.

Blinking Green, Yellow

Band has reduced gain. This indicates that one or more of the booster bands has reduced power due to overload from nearby cell tower. 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 Yellow

Band has shutoff due to overload from nearby cell tower. Outside Antenna must be adjusted. Refer to Troubleshooting section.

Light Off

If the Signal Booster’s light is off, verify your power supply has power.

Troubleshooting

IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE COVERAGE, THESE LIGHT ISSUES DON’T HAVE TO

BE RESOLVED. YOUR CARRIER’S BAND HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED.

FIXING ANY RED LIGHT ISSUES

This involves Solid Red & Blinking Green/Red lights.

1

Verify Outside Antenna faces away from the Inside Antenna. Un-plug and replug in power supply.

2

Verify the Inside Antenna is at least 18” from the Booster and pointed away from the Booster. Unplug and re-plug in power supply.

3

Tighten all cable connections (be sure to handtighten only, do NOT use tools).

You may want to undo and redo the connection completely. Unplug and replug in power supply.

4

Increase the distance (horizontally or vertically) between the Outside and

Inside antenna. Add included cable if needed. Un-plug and re-plug in power supply.

FIXING ANY YELLOW LIGHT ISSUES

This involves Solid Yellow & Blinking Green/Yellow lights.

Outside Antenna must be adjusted . Wait 10 seconds between adjustments for the lights to reset.

Pole Mount Option: Rotate the Outside Antenna away from the strongest cellular signal in small increments (45°) until the light turns green. Unplug and re-plug in power supply.

Mounting On Side Of Roof Option: Change mount location. Move the

Outside Antenna to location of the home/building to see if the lights turn green. Un-plug and re-plug in power supply. Then secure in place.

Safety Guidelines

To uphold compliance with network protection standards, all active cellular devices must maintain at least six feet of separation distance from Inside Panel and Dome antennas and at least four feet of separation distance from desktop Antenna.

Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may damage your equipment.

The Signal Booster unit is designed for use in an indoor, temperature-controlled environment (less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit). It is not intended for use in attics or similar locations subject to temperatures in excess of that range.

RF Safety Warning: Any antenna used with this device must be located at least 8 inches from all persons.

AWS Warning: The Outside Antenna must be installed no higher than 10 meters (31’9”) above ground.

This is a CONSUMER device.

BEFORE USE, you MUST REGISTER THIS DEVICE with your wireless provider and have your provider’s consent. Most wireless providers consent to the use of signal boosters. Some providers may not consent to the use of this device on their network. If you are unsure, contact your provider.

You MUST operate this device with approved antennas and cables as specifi ed by the manufacturer . Antennas MUST be installed at least 20 cm (8 inches) from any person.

You MUST cease operating this device immediately if requested by the FCC or licensed wireless service provider.

WARNING. E911 location information may not be provided or may be inaccurate for calls served by using this device.

This device may be operated ONLY in a fi xed location for in-building use.

Each Signal Booster is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. The Signal Booster cannot be adjusted without factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Booster will amplify, but not alter incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the

Signal Booster is not in use for fi ve minutes, it will reduce gain until a signal is detected. If a detected signal is too high in a frequency band, or if the Signal Booster detects an oscillation, the Signal Booster will automatically turn the power off on that band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Booster will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1 minute. After 5 (fi ve) such automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut off until the Signal Booster has been manually restarted by momentarily removing power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by weBoost could void the authority to operate this equipment.
