  • Page 18: Booster Light Patterns

    Booster Light Patterns SOLID GREEN This indicates that your 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.
  • Page 19 (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.
  • Page 20: Troubleshooting

    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).
  • Page 21 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.
