1 OFFICE 200 CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER

______ Key Features
Extended Dynamic Range (XDR) for continuous connectivity: XDR lets the Office 200 system work with any incoming signal and never shuts down due to a strong outside signal.
Simple Wall-Mount Installation: An indoor and outdoor port are located on top of the amplifier for easy antenna connections, while an exposed mounting flange at each corner of the amplifier provides for simple and clean wallmount installation.
Onboard Software for Better Control: The amplifier is automatically controlled with automatic onboard software, ensuring great connectivity throughout large spaces and multi-story buildings. The amplifier will adjust its gain level up or down as required by the conditions of the immediate signal environment.
Color LCD Touch Screen: The Office 200 utilizes a color LCD touch screen for assessing amplifier performance, making adjustments to the outside antenna, and turning bands on and off.

Measuring Booster Performance

How To Get Signal Strength As A Number

iPhone® AndroidTM

iOS 11 and later no longer displays the decibel (dBm) reading in `Field Test Mode'. Tip: Using the signal bars and performing data speed tests on your cell phone can assist you in finding the strongest signal direction as well as placing calls in different locations. For changes/updates on this issue, periodically go to weboost.com/signalstrength.
Settings > About Phone > Status or Network > Signal Strength or Network Type and Strength (exact options/wording depends on phone model).

______ Menu System
The Office 200 takes about 5 seconds to boot up. Once boot up is complete, the home screen will appear, showing the amplification and status of each port and band.

GREEN: A solid green light indicates that a band is operating correctly with maximum allowable gain. YELLOW: A solid yellow light indicates band gain reduction because of an oscillation condition. Reposition antennas (increase separation between indoor and outdoor antennas, and then reboot (turn the unit off & on) the Office 200 to reactivate the band and maximize performance. When adequate separation is achieved, the yellow lights will return to green upon reboot. Note: when the light is yellow, the band is operational; however, performance is reduced. RED: A red light indicates a band has been shut down because of a severe oscillation condition or repeated oscillation. Reposition antennas (increase separation between indoor and outdoor antennas, and then reboot (turn the unit off & on) the Office 200 to reactivate the band and maximize performance. When adequate separation is achieved, the red light(s) will return to green upon reboot. GRAY: Gray indicates band has been disabled.

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.
