Mast Extensions, Side-Exit Adapter, Spring, 3-Way Mount & Thread Lock Packs Cradle Mount 1 Installation Overview Outside Antenna with Masts best mounting point other mounting points Booster Inside Antenna Power Supply WORKS WITH DIFFERENT VEHICLE TYPES SUCH AS; SEMIS, SPRINTER VANS & PICKUPS 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 three-way mount that will work on vehicles with mirror rails. The antenna will also work with third party CB antenna mounts. 2 Best Outside Antenna Position on other Vehicle Types mounted above horizontal plane of vehicle For best performance the outside antenna should be mounted above the horizontal plane of the vehicle and/or above other gear on top of the vehicle. mounted above horizontal plane of vehicle & gear 3 STEP 1 Select Mounting Location & Assemble the Outside Antenna The antenna should be mounted above gear on top of the vehicle. Once you have determined the best location for the outside antenna, insert coax cable through mast extension (mast can be used optionally), then through side-exit adapter. run cable through Mast Extension(s) Mast Extension Outside Antenna 13 in. mast cable from Outside Antenna cable Antenna Spring (can be used optionally) 13 in. mast run cable through Mast Extension(s) 18 in. mast Side Exit Adapter cable DO NOT USE Antenna Spring with 2 Mast Extensions 4 (STEP 1 cont.) After determining outside antenna mounting location and assembly is the correct height, apply the thread locker precisely to thread points only (not plastic body of antenna). Screw mast onto antenna. Connect 14-foot cable to outside antenna cable. Heat shrink tube can be applied to the connection (optional). Outside Antenna add Thread Locker mast connect cables Outside Antenna cable 14 ft. cable Heat Shrink (optional) 5 mast add Thread Locker Side Exit Adapter add Thread Locker Spring (can be used optionally with one mast) STEP 2 Mounting the Outside Antenna If the vehicle does not have built-in mounting points, a 3-way mount is included that will work on vehicles with mirror rails. NOTE: The cable is strong enough that it may be shut in most vehicle doors without damaging the cable. Mount disc washer with lip in the DOWN position Fasten nut with lip in the UP position add thread locker 3-Way Antenna Mount 6 STEP 3 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". 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). Cable Adapter Booster cable from Outside Antenna NOTE: Connecting cable from outside antenna to booster does not take much force. Velcro® bottom side of Booster NOTE: The "hook" side of the Velcro® (already on the booster) can be used to attach to the carpet of many vehicles. 7 STEP 4 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. Sleek Cradle snap-in connectors 8 STEP 5 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). 9 (STEP 5 cont.) Connect power cable to booster port labeled . 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. connect to Booster Booster cable from Power Supply 10 STEP 6 Insert 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. insert phone into Cradle to boost signal Cradle extends attach to dash 11 Measuring Booster Performance We've created an easy way to learn your signal strength and compare it before and after a booster. Download our free weBoost app to get accurate decibel measurements to help you get the best performance from your system. 12 (Measuring Booster Performance cont.)

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. The term "IC" before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
