Outside Antenna After determining outside antenna mounting add Thread location and assembly is the correct height, Locker apply the thread locker precisely to thread points only (not plastic body of antenna). mast Screw mast onto antenna. Connect 14-foot cable to outside antenna mast cable.
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.
STEP 3 Mounting the Inside Antenna In-Vehicle Antenna Identify a place to mount the in-vehicle antenna, either on the dash or side of the seat and mount. The location should be at least 18 inches but no more than 36 inches from where the cellular device will be used.

Booster Light Patterns SOLID GREEN This indicates that your Drive Reach booster is functioning properly and there are no issues with installation. 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.

(Booster Light Patterns cont.) 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.
Note: Horizontal separation of the two antennas typically requires a shorter separation distance than vertical separation. If you are having any difficulties while testing or installing your booster, contact our weBoost Customer Support team for assistance (1-866-294-1660).

How can I contact customer support? Customer Support can be reached Monday through Friday by calling 1-866-294-1660, or through our support site at support.weboost.com. Why do I need to create distance between the outside antenna and inside antenna? Antennas connected to a booster create spheres of signal. When these spheres overlap, a condition called oscillation occurs.
