weboost Home Studio Cell Signal Booster 1

STEP 1 Attach Inside Antenna to Booster & Place In Desired Location
Attach the Inside Antenna to Home Studio/Home Studio Lite booster and place in room where stronger cell signal is needed.

STEP 2 Mount & Point Outside Antenna Toward Nearest Cell Tower
Pole mounting is preferred because it will be easier to adjust to the direction of the cell tower. Use the U-Bolts to attach the Antenna to a pole or exhaust pipe on roof.

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.

Side Mounting

Side mounting is a option if you can still obtain strong signal.

Note: Drip holes should be pointed down towards ground.

STEP 3 Route & Connect Outside Antenna To Booster
Connect the white RG-6 Cable to Outside Antenna and route and connect cable to Home Studio/Home Studio Lite booster. All connections should be finger tightened only.

STEP 4 Power Up The Booster & Optimize The System Plug the Power Supply into wall outlet then connect into end of booster.
NOTE: We strongly recommend using a power strip with surge protection.

After powering up your system, check to see how your talk, text, and data rates have improved. If more is desired, you can 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. When you have determined a direction that gives you the strongest signal, secure the Outside Antenna in place. Below gives you an idea of how much boosted cell signal coverage this system will bring indoors based on how strong the outside signal is.

If the cell signal outside your home is:	Strong	Good	Weak	None

Your boosted cell signal will cover:	Large Room	Medium Room	Small Room

None

Status Light Patterns

GREEN
This indicates that your Home Studio or Home Studio Lite is functioning properly and there are no issues with installation.

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, RED
This indicates that the booster is operating at a reduced gain to prevent oscillation (feedback). This is a built in safety feature to prevent harmful interference with a nearby cell tower. If you are

(Status Light Patterns cont.)
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.

BLINKING GREEN, YELLOW
This indicates 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.

LIGHTS OFF
If the Signal Amplifier’s light is off, verify your power supply has power.

Troubleshooting

FIXING RED LIGHT ISSUES
This involves Solid Red & Blinking Green/Red lights.

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.
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 at least 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

Verify that both the Outside Antenna and the adapter extension cable are connected to the Signal Amplifier before powering up the Signal Amplifier. Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of an incorrect power supply may damage your equipment. 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.

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.
