The term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. 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 five 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. 

Preparation

You Will Need (tools not included)
Make sure the following materials are prepared and ready for your installation.

  • 1 to 2 hours

  • 2 people (a person to help with antenna calibration)

  • Ladder

  • Phillips-head screwdriver

  • 10mm open-end wrench or adjustable wrench

  • Drill (if routing cable through wall)

  • 1.25”-2” diameter pole existing pole (or order #901117)

  • Recommended: Power Strip with surge protection

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

weBoost Home 4G Cellular Signal Booster Detailed Description

The weBoost Home 4G is a powerful signal booster that can improve your cell signal by up to 32x. It is compatible with all major carriers, including Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint. This product is capable of boosting signal for multiple devices at once, making it a great option for large families or small businesses.

With a sleek and modern design, the weBoost Home 4G will blend seamlessly into any home or office decor.

Connect Inside

Antenna To Booster
Connect Inside Antenna cable to the bottom port on Home 4G booster labeled ‘INSIDE’ and place Inside Antenna in weak signal area at least 18 inches away from booster.

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

Point Outside Antenna Toward Nearest Cell Tower

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.

Mount Bracket To Outside Antenna

  1. Pole Mounting and Wall Mounting Options are included. The pole mounting option is preferred because it would be easier to adjust to the direction of the cell tower.

  2. Attach the L-Bracket to the Outside Antenna and use the U-Bolts/Pole Bracket to attach the L-Bracket to a pole.

Measuring Booster Performance

How To Get Signal Strength As A Number

iPhone
Dial *3001#12345#* then press Call.

  1. Hold down power button until you see ‘Slide to Power Off ‘.

  2. Then release the power button.

  3. Hold the Home button until your main screen appears.

If you want to check 3G/1x but your iPhone is picking up 4G/LTE signal, go to Settings>Cellular>Cellular Data Options>En-able LTE>Select Off . After you system is set up, you can go back to the dots signal by once again dialing *3001#12345#* then pressing call. When the menu comes back up, tap “phone” in the top left corner of your phone.

iPhone  iOS 11  current iOS 11 no longer displays the decibel (dBm) reading in ‘Field Test Mode’. 

Tip: Using the bar indicator on your cell phone can assist you in finding the strongest signal direction as well as placing calls in diff erent locations.  Android Settings > About Phone > Status or Network > Signal Strength or Network Type and Strength (exact options/wording depends on phone model). iPhone is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.

Light Patterns

weboost-460020-Home-4G-Cellular-Signal-Booster- (17)
  • Solid Green
    This indicates that your boo isis functioning properly and th are no are no issues with installation.

  • Blinking Green, Then 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, Orange
    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 Orange
    Band has shut off 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.

Setup Guide

Setting up the weBoost Home 4G is a simple and straightforward process. First, locate a spot outside your home or office where you have a strong cell signal. Attach the outdoor antenna to a pole or wall using the included mounting hardware. Then, run the coaxial cable from the outdoor antenna to the booster, which should be placed in a central location inside your home or office. Connect the power supply and turn on the booster. Finally, place the indoor antenna in a location where you want to improve your cell signal. The booster will automatically adjust to provide the best possible signal in your area.

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.

  • In Canada, BEFORE USE you must meet all requirements set out in ISED CPC-2-1-05.

  • You MUST operate this device with approved antennas and cables as specified by the manufacturer. Antennas MUST be installed at least 20 cm (8 inches) from (i.e., MUST NOT be installed within 20 cm of) any person.

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 re-plug 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 re-plug 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 ORANGE LIGHT ISSUES
This involves Solid Orange & Blinking Green/Orange 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.

  • Wall Mount Option: Change mount location. Move the Outside Antenna to a wall outside the building to see if the lights turn green. Un-plug and re-plug in power supply
