STEP 1 Attach Booster Antenna to Booster & Place In Desired Location
Attach the booster 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

Outside Antenna

attach L-Bracket to U-Bolts

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. drip holes

(STEP 2 cont.)
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.
drip holes 3

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.

Status Lights will appear at the top

(STEP 4 cont.)
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 Medium Small Room Room Room

After each rotation, observe signal level on your cell phone from the Inside Antenna's projected area.

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

Home Studio Booster Lights

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 already experiencing the desired signal boost, then

(Status Light Patterns cont.)
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 replug in power supply.
 Increase the distance (horizontally or vertically) between the outside and inside antennas. Add included cable if needed. Unplug and replug in power supply.
FIXING ANY YELLOW LIGHT ISSUES This involves Solid Yellow & Blinking Green/Yellow lights.
 Outside Antenna must be adjusted. Disconnect and reconnect power between adjustments. 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 (1/8 turn) until the light turns green. Unplug and replug 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. Unplug and replug in power supply. Then secure in place.

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.

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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by weBoost could void the authority to operate this equipment.
