General Installation Steps:
- Mount the Outside Antenna: Secure the outside antenna on the roof of your vehicle, ensuring it has a clear line of sight to cell towers.
- Route the Coaxial Cable: Carefully route the coaxial cable from the outside antenna into the vehicle's interior to the location where the booster will be placed.
- Mount the Booster: Find a suitable location inside your vehicle for the Drive X booster unit. It can be mounted discreetly, such as within a cabinet or under a seat.
- Connect the Inside Antenna: Connect the inside antenna to the booster unit. Position the inside antenna where you need the boosted signal, typically near the area where mobile devices will be used.
- Connect Power: Plug the power supply into the booster unit and then into your vehicle's power outlet (e.g., 12V accessory outlet). The green light on the booster indicates it is powered on and functioning.
Operating the weBoost Drive X
Once installed and powered on, the weBoost Drive X operates automatically to enhance your cellular signal. The green indicator light on the booster confirms it is active and boosting signal.
- Signal Amplification: The booster works by receiving weak signals from cell towers via the outside antenna, amplifying them, and then rebroadcasting the stronger signal inside your vehicle via the inside antenna.
- Multi-User Functionality: The Drive X supports multiple users simultaneously, allowing everyone in the vehicle to benefit from improved signal strength.
- 5G Compatibility: The system is fully compatible with 5G networks, ensuring optimal performance with the latest cellular technology.
- Improved Connectivity: Experience fewer dropped calls, clearer voice quality, faster data speeds for browsing and streaming, and more reliable hotspot performance.
- On-the-Go Performance: The Drive X maintains boosted signal even when your vehicle is in motion, providing continuous connectivity during travel.

Maintenance
The weBoost Drive X requires minimal maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Follow these guidelines:
- Keep Components Clean: Periodically wipe down the booster unit and antennas with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Inspect Cables: Regularly check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
- Antenna Placement: Ensure the outside antenna remains securely mounted and unobstructed for best signal reception.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: While designed for vehicle use, avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures or direct moisture beyond normal operating conditions.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your weBoost Drive X, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Green Light:
- Check if the power supply is securely plugged into both the booster and the vehicle's power outlet.
- Verify that the vehicle's power outlet is functioning.
- Poor Signal Improvement:
- Ensure adequate separation between the outside and inside antennas. They should be as far apart as possible to prevent oscillation.
- Check the orientation of the outside antenna to ensure it is optimally positioned for receiving signals from the nearest cell tower. The weBoost App can assist with this.
- Confirm all cable connections are tight and correct.
- Move closer to the inside antenna for better signal reception.
- Intermittent Signal:
- This can occur if the booster is too close to the inside antenna, causing feedback. Increase separation.
- Ensure the outside antenna is not obstructed by vehicle parts or cargo.
