Inside Antenna (314440)

Outside Antenna (314445)

30' & 2-15' Cables (950630), (YX030-15W w/971129 Barrel Connector)

Power Supply (850018)

Window Entry Cable (951177)

Outside Antenna Mounting Bracket

Wall Mount Brackets w/Command Strips

Cable Mounting Clips Qty. 15

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)
1"-3" diameter existing pole for mounting Outside Antenna (#90117 Pole Mount can be purchased separately if needed)
Recommended: Power Strip with surge protection

NOTE: These instructions will walk you through a "soft" install process to find the optimal locations for the inside and outside antennas, then through the process of the permanent installation.

Step 1-A & B: Inside Antenna & Booster Placement

Place the Inside Antenna where you need the greatest signal boost and place Booster in your desired location at least 24" 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 1-A & B cont.)

The Inside Antenna can be mounted horizontal, vertical or on a desktop. Command strips can be used to secure mounting bracket.

Inside Antenna Mounting Options

Step 2: Mount & 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.

NOTE: Mounting on existing roof exhaust pipe would be a good time-saver option. Watch out for power lines.

STEP 2 cont.)

Point the Outside Antenna toward the nearest cell phone tower. To find 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.

STEP2cont.)

If there's not a pole to easily mount the Outside Antenna, this may be mounted on the fascia by fastening the bracket as shown below.

TIP: Make sure to do the optimization test on Step 4 to find the best side of your house before you mount this on the fascia.

Mounting On Side Of Roof (Fascia)

Cable Mounting Clips provided

Step 3-A: Route & Connect Outside Antenna To Booster

HS179NE

Connect the white RG-6 Cable to Outside Antenna and route cable into the home. A Window Entry Cable is provided to help make cable entry easier. All connections should be finger tightened only.

Route cable to the Home MultiRoom Booster and connect to the port labeled 'OUTSIDE ANTENNA'.

Step 3-B: Route & Connect Inside Antenna To Booster

Connect the white 30' Cable to Inside Antenna and route to the Home MultiRoom Booster and connect to the port labeled 'INSIDE ANTENNA'.

Step 4: Power Up The Booster & Optimize The System

Plug the Power Supply into wall outlet then connect to end of booster labeled “---” (turn 90^ to lock connector).

NOTE: We strongly recommend using a power strip with surge protection.

STEP 4 cont.)

After powering up your system, you are now ready to optimize your system. Rotate the Outside Antenna in 1/8 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!

Measuring Booster Performance

How To Get Signal Strength As A Number

iPhone®

iOS 11 and later no longer displays the decibel (dBm) reading in 'Field Test Mode'. Tip: Using the dot signal strength indicator on your cell phone can assist you in finding the strongest signal direction as well as placing calls in different locations.

For changes/updates on this issue, periodically go to weboost.com/signalstrength.

Signal Strength with Booster

Note here:

Compare Results

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.

SIGNAL STRENGTH	EXCELLENT GOOD FAIR POOR DEAD ZONE			.	∅
3G/1x	-70dBm	-71 to -85dBm	-86 to -100dBm	-101 to -109dBm	-110dBm
4G/LTE	-90dBm	-91 to -105dBm	-106 to -110dBm	-111 to -119dBm	-120dBm

DID YOU KNOW a signal increase of just 3dB is 2 times the power and signal amplification!

GAIN IMPROVEMENT
SIGNAL IMPROVEMENT

Light Patterns

Solid Green

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

Blinking Green & Red

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 a 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 and Inside Antenna face away from each other. Un-plug and re-plug in power supply.
2 Verify the Inside Antenna is at least 24" from the Booster and pointed away from the Booster. Unplug and re-plug in power supply.
3 Tighten all cable connections (be sure to finger tighten 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.

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