______ Step 1: Select Mounting Location Select mounting location on vehicle. The antenna can be mounted in any CB mount or antenna mounting point on the vehicle. For best performance mount the antenna above the metal cab (it does not need to be above cab wind deflector). Depending on the type of truck, there may be built-in antenna mounting points.
______ Step 2: Assemble The Antenna Once you have determined the best location for the antenna cable from antenna and have determined if Mast Extensions are needed, insert cable through mast. Mast Extension NOTE: Mast Extensions may not be needed depending on your mounting point.

______ Step 5: Wiring The Power Supply To Vehicle Battery Use steps below as a draft/template of the general install of the power supply. Before connecting the power supply, disconnect the vehicle battery leads to avoid any electrical shocks during installation. Locate a place where cables are already running through the firewall (rear wall of engine bay) to the inside of the cabin.

______ Light Patterns Solid Green This indicates that your booster is functioning properly and there are no issues with installation. Blinking Red, Then Solid Green This indicates that one or more of the booster bands has reduced power due to a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a built in safety feature to prevent harmful interference with a nearby cell tower.
______ Troubleshooting FIXING BLINKING OR SOLID RED ISSUES This section is only applicable if 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 antenna 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.
______ Safety Guidelines Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may damage your equipment. 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 use of an adapter will damage the cell phone.
