Specifications

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. The booster comes with an outdoor antenna, indoor antenna, and power supply, and is easy to install and set up. 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.

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.

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.

NOTE: Mounting on existing roof exhaust pipe would be a good time-saver option.

Route & Connect Cable To System

Connect the white RG-6 Cable to Outside Antenna and route cable into the home. All connections should be hand tightened only.

A Window Entry Cable is provided to help make cable entry easier. Route cable to the Home 4G booster and connect to top port labeled ‘OUTSIDE’.

Power Up The Booster & Optimize The System

Plug the Power Supply into wall outlet then connect to Home 4G Booster and enjoy your boosted cell signal!

After powering up your system, you are now ready to optimize your system. Rotate the Outside Antenna in 1/4 turn increments (within the cell towers general location) and each time observing the signal level on your cell phone from the inside antenna’s projected area.

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 amplifi cation!

Light Patterns

• 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.
