Package Contents

Select Mounting Location & Assemble the Outside Antenna

Select mounting location on vehicle. The outside antenna can be mounted in any CB mount or antenna mounting point on the vehicle. For best performance mount the antenna above the metal cab (it does not need to be above cab wind deflector). Depending on the type of truck, there may be built-in antenna mounting points. If the vehicle does not have built-in mounting points, the antenna includes a 3-way mount that will work on vehicles with mirror rails. The antenna will also work with third party CB antenna mounts.
NOTE: Mount at least 12 inches from any other antennas. Free of obstructions.
NOTE: If the vehicle is using two CB antennas with co-phase wiring, removing one antenna will cause reduced performance of the remaining CB antenna.

Once you have determined the best location for the outside antenna and have determined if mast extensions are needed, insert cable through mast.
NOTE: Mast extensions may not be needed depending on your mounting point. If using mast extension(s) add thread locker (packets provided) to thread point(s). Screw into place.

NOTE: Be sure the antenna is the correct height before applying thread locker. Add thread locker (packets provided) to thread point and screw on the side exit adapter.

NOTE: When adding the side exit adapter hold the antenna vertically and screw the adapter from the bottom up. This reduces cable twisting.

Mount The Outside Antenna

These are some typical antenna mounting points. If the vehicle does not have built-in mounting points, a 3-way mount is included that will work on vehicles with mirror rails.

If installing with the antenna spring, disassemble and reassemble the 3-way mount as shown below.

Disassemble

Route Outside Antenna Cable & Connect Booster

Connect the cable from the outside antenna to the cable adapter then to the booster port labeled ANTENNA by simply pressing the connector in until you hear a “click”.

NOTE: Connecting cable from outside antenna to booster does not take much force.

The included Velcro® can be used to mount the booster out-of-the way on the floor under a seat or mounted in the back of the cab. It is best to mount in a place where the cables cannot be tripped over or snagged (damaging the booster).

NOTE: The “hook” side of the Velcro® (already on the booster) can be used to attach to the carpet of many vehicles.

Route Fixed Booster Cable & Connect To Cradle

Place booster behind seats or in back area of vehicle and route the 15 foot fixed cable to the front of the vehicle where the cradle will be located.

Connect booster cable to sleek cradle cable.

Connect System To Power

Connect the power to the 12V* CLA port on your vehicle and route power cable back to the booster.
NOTE: We recommend routing with the same path as the cradle/booster cable (under mats and between seats).

NOTE: The booster will be on whenever there is power from the 12V CLA port. If your vehicle always has power going to this port, you may want to unplug this when you’re not driving so the booster does not drain your battery. Only 12V ports are supported.

Insert Your Phone Into Cradle

Make sure you have plenty of slack in the cable going up to the cradle (Velcro® straps included to manage excess cable). Insert your phone into sleek cradle and watch your signal increase!

NOTE: A magnetic mount is provided which provides a versatile, safe and functional smartphone solution.
IMPORTANT: The FCC requires to never use the cell phone in the cradle next to your ear.

Troubleshooting

Solid White (LED on sleek cradle)

Dropped Calls
If you are regularly experiencing dropped calls in the same areas, turn off VoLTE/HD Voice in your phone’s settings.

FCC Statment

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. For a detected oscillation the Signal Booster will automatically resume normal
operation after a minimum of 1 minute. After 5 (five) 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.
