Page 5: Installation Overview
Installation Overview NOTE: Outside antenna can be positioned horizontally when not in use. System will only function with the antenna in the upright position. Outside Antenna For best performance, maximize the separation between the Inside and Outside Antennas. Folding Mount Bracket Inside Antenna...
Page 6 Best Outside Antenna Position mount antenna above horizontal plane of vehicle & gear For best performance the outside antenna should be mounted above the horizontal plane of the vehicle and/or above other gear on top of the vehicle. Pro tip: By mounting the outside antenna toward the rear of your RV, you allow the cables to create separation and thereby increase performance of the booster.
Page 7: Step 1 Select Mounting Location & Assemble The Outside Antenna
STEP 1 Select Mounting Location & Assemble the Outside Antenna ladder mount Determine where you want the outside antenna on your RV. The outside antenna can be mounted to a ladder or pole, or fixed mounted to the roof or t-track. NOTE: Refer to outside antenna maximum clearance height allowed by law.
Page 8 (STEP 1 cont.) Outside Antenna The antenna should be mounted above gear on top of the vehicle. Once you have determined the best location for the outside antenna, insert coax cable through the mast extension (if using), then through the side- 13 in.
Page 9 (STEP 1 cont.) Outside Antenna Once the outside antenna is assembled add Thread at the correct height, apply the thread Locker locker precisely to thread points only, not to the plastic body of the antenna. Screw mast mast onto the antenna. Connect the 25-foot cable to the outside mast antenna cable.

Page 12 (STEP 2 cont.) secure Outside Antenna to Fixed Roof Mounting Option Mounting Bracket The folding mounting bracket can also be secured to a flat roof surface as shown here. Choose suitable fasteners (e.g., lag screws, well nuts, sheet metal screws, toggle bolts, t-anchors) for the roof material.
Page 13 (STEP 2 cont.) T-Track Mounting Option For RVs with t-tracks, the folding mounting bracket can be installed. Use the provided t-track mounting hardware secure the bracket to the RV t-track, then screw in secure Outside assembled outside antenna. Antenna to Mounting Bracket NOTE: Some t-tracks may not be compatible with the included hardware.
Page 14: Step 3 Route Cable Into Rv
STEP 3 Route Cable into RV Option 1: Using Existing Cable Entry Once the outside antenna is mounted and secured, route the coax cable into the RV. There are different options to achieve this. A good time-saver would be to use a existing junction box or cable gland for a satellite or solar panels.
Page 15 (STEP 3 cont.) RV Pop-Out Option 2: Using Pop-Out for cable from Cable Entry Outside Antenna If your RV has a slide-out, the cable can be routed through the rubber gasket and into the area where the booster will be placed. rubber gasket...
Page 16 (STEP 3 cont.) Outside Antenna & Mount Option 3: Installing Cable Entry Gland Select a suitable location on top of the RV that provides a clear path for the cable. Drill a hole that the cable and connector will fit snugly into.
Page 17: Step 4 Mount The Inside Antenna
STEP 4 Mount the Inside Antenna Identify a place to mount the inside antenna where a stronger signal is desired and within reach of the booster. The antenna can be wall mounted using the provided Velcro® adhesive pad. NOTE: Do not mount the inside antenna where an airbag will deploy.

Page 20: Step 6 Connect Power Supply To Booster
STEP 6 Connect Power Supply to Booster Option 1: AC/DC Power Supply Connect the AC/DC power supply cord to the end of the booster, labeled 12V DC, and connect into a 12V wall plug. There is also a hardwire power supply included that will connect directly to the RVs 12V power system.

Page 22 (STEP 6 cont.) tap into an existing 12V circuit that can handle the additional load of the booster (less than 2 amps). ■ For safety, turn off the power. Before working on the electrical system, turn off the main 12V power switch or disconnect the RV from shore power and battery to prevent electrical hazards.
Page 23 (STEP 6 cont.) ■ Complete the power connection. Attach the barrel end of the included power supply to the booster. ■ Restore power and test. Turn the 12V power back on by switching on the main 12V power or reconnecting the RV to shore power and battery. Use a multimeter to confirm the correct voltage (12V) at the booster unit (optional).
Page 24: Booster Light Patterns
Booster Light Patterns SOLID GREEN This indicates your weBoost Drive Reach 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 25 (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 26: 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 27 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.
