Installation Overview

Installation Instructions

STEP 1 Select the Mounting Location & Assemble the Outside Antenna

Determine where you want the outside antenna on your RV. Mount the outside antenna to a ladder or pole so that the entire outside antenna is above the roof line of the RV and clear of other metal obstructions.

Important

NOTE: Keep in mind to stay below the maximum height limit allowed by law, which varies from state to state (generally 14’ in western states and 13’6” in eastern states).

After determining outside antenna mounting location and assembly is the correct height, insert the coax cable through the mast extension (mast can be used optionally), then through the side-exit adapter.

Apply the thread locker precisely to thread points only (not the plastic body of the antenna).

Screw the mast onto the antenna.
Connect the 25-foot cable to outside antenna cable. A heat shrink tube can be applied to the connection (optional).

Mount outside antenna. L-bracket mount and hardware are provided to mount to the ladder or pole. If installed with a spring, the side exit adapter must be used.

NOTE: The outside antenna location must be within reach of the booster with the 25’ coax cable. The system performs best with maximum vertical and horizontal separation.

Route cable into the RV

Option A: Using existing cable entry point.

Option B: Through the slider on your RV (using the slider gasket as a seal).
Option C: Drill a hole with the included hole saw bit. WARNING: Be sure to stay clear of any power, pipes, etc. that may be damaged.

NOTE: We recommend doing a ‘soft install’ before drilling the hole. Set up the system by routing the cable through an open door or window, completing the setup instructions, verifying the system works as desired, and then drilling the hole.

STEP 2 Select Inside Antenna Location
Place inside the antenna where a strong signal is desired.

STEP 3 Select Booster Location
Find a location to place the booster, then mount it by removing the bracket from the back side of the booster and fasten it to the desired surface. Snap the booster back into the bracket.

NOTE: We recommend mounting in a cabinet near a power source. Be sure it’s in a location where cables from both inside and outside antennas can reach.

STEP 4 Connect Coax Cables to Booster
Connect the coax cable from the inside antenna to the port labeled “Inside Antenna” on the booster. Then connect the cable from the outside antenna to the port labeled “Outside Antenna” on the booster.

Note: All connections should be finger-tightened only.

STEP 5 Connect Power Supply to Booster
Connect the power cable to the booster, then into the 110V wall plug, and enjoy!
NOTE: A fused 12V hardwire power supply is also included.

Using The Optional Cable Entry Accessories

Skip if you used Option A or B in STEP 1. Pull the RG-6 cable through the rubber gasket, then place the cable entry cover into the entry hole (as shown below) and fasten the cover to the side of the RV. Use the cable mounts and ties to secure the RV.

NOTE: We recommend putting a loop going up to the cable entry hole to prevent moisture from entering the RV. We strongly recommend using an RTV sealant from the inside to prevent moisture, insects, and other undesired things from entering the RV.

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.

Compare the decibels (dBm) on the chart below to find what signal strength you fall into.

Did you know a signal increase of just 3dB is 2 times the power and signal amplification?

Booster Light Patterns

SOLID GREEN

This indicates that your booster is functioning properly and there are no issues with installation.

SOLID RED

The band has shut off. 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 the Troubleshooting section.

BLINKING RED, THEN SOLID GREEN

This indicates that one or more of the booster bands have reduced power due to a minor feedback loop condition called oscillation.
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.

LIGHT OFF

If the signal booster’s light is off, verify your power supply has power.

NOTE: The signal booster can be reset by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply.
After troubleshooting, you must initiate a new power cycle by disconnecting and then reconnecting power to the booster.

Troubleshooting

FIXING BLINKING OR RED LIGHT ISSUES
This section is only applicable if the light on the booster is red or blinking red and you are not experiencing the desired signal boost.

Unplug the booster’s power supply.
Relocate the inside and outside antennae further from each other. The objective is to increase the separation distance between them so that they will not create this feedback condition discussed before.
Plug the power supply back in and ensure the switch is in the ON position.

Monitor the indicator light on your booster. If, after a few seconds of ‘power on’, a solid or blinking red light appears, repeat steps 1 through 3. Increase the separation distance until the condition is corrected and/or the desired coverage area is achieved.

Note: Horizontal separation of the two antennas typically requires a shorter separation distance than vertical separation.

FAQ

Q: How can I contact customer support?

A: Customer Support can be reached Monday through Friday by calling 1-866-294-1660, or through our support site at support.weboost.com.
Q: Why do I need to create distance between the outside antenna and the inside antenna?
A: Antennas connected to a booster create spheres of signal. When these spheres overlap, a condition called oscillation occurs. Oscillation can be thought of as noise, which causes the booster to scale down its power or shut down to prevent damage. The best way to keep these spheres of signal from overlapping is to maximize separation between the inside and outside antennas.

Safety Guidelines

Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may damage your equipment.
The signal booster unit is designed for use in an indoor, temperature-controlled environment (less than 150 degrees Fahrenheit). It is not intended for use in attics or similar locations subject to temperatures over that range.
The desktop antenna must have at least 3’ of separation distance from all active users. All inside panel and dome antennas must have at least 6’ of separation distance from all active users, and low profile antennas must have at least 1.5’ separation distance from all active users.

Connecting the signal booster directly to the cell phone with the use of an adapter will damage the cell phone.

FCC STATEMENT

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 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’s technical specifications were met. This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. This device contains license-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s license-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
