Find the Strongest Cellular Signal

Before you install your Home 4G signal

booster, you must determine the location of

the best available cellular signal. This will

affect the location of your Outside Antenna

and will help you get the best performance

strongest signal outside your building,

typically at the highest point available, using

any of the following methods:

1. Best method:

Connect the Outside Antenna tothe

Home 4G signal booster, and the Home

4G tothe Desktop Antenna. Have one

person outside (on the roof for best

results) rotate the Outside Antenna with

a second person inside the building

near the Desktop Antenna watching the

signal strength on a phone. This allows

you to read the signal strength from

nearby cell towers.

a. The person inside should have

the phone in test mode so the

numerical signal strength can be

read. This is more accurate than the

bar indicator. Go to https://cellphone

signalbooster.us help in finding the test

mode for your phone.

The person on the roof should turn

the Outside Antenna 45 degrees

at a time. Allow 30 seconds for the

phone to register with each turn.

Rotate in 45°

increments

c. The person inside should note the

readings on the phone with each turn.

Signal readings usually appear as

a negative number. The closer the

number gets to zero, the stronger the

signal (for example, -86 dB would be

a moderately good reading while -55

dB would be an excellent reading,

and -110 dB would be a weak, or

unusable signal).

Rotate in 45°

increments

d. Once you have determined which

direction provides the strongest

outside signal, you can install the

Outside Antenna in that general

direction.

2. Good methods:

a. Place calls from several locations

outside your building. As you move

to different locations, note where

you get the best reception.

b. If you have a smart phone, you

can download apps that help you

identify locations of cell phone

towers or the strongest signal. Go

to the App Store and search for “cell

your device.

3. Acceptable method: Check the bar

indicator on your cell phone display

and note where the signal appears

the strongest. (Note: cell phone bars

are only an approximation of signal

strength and vary from phone to

phone.) Phones can take up to 30

seconds to reset to a new reading. Be

patient and repeat your signal check

several times.

Ready to Install Inside Window Mount

1. Select a location on the inside of a

window as high as possible and at

least 20 feet from where the Home 4G

will be located. Note that this distance

typically requires the window mount

to be in a different room from where

you will locate the Home 4G and

Desktop Antenna. The window should

face roughly in the direction of the

strongest cellular signal (see section

headed “Find the Strongest Cellular

Signal” on page 4).

Rafter Mount Option

1. Select a location in the building’s rafters

where the Outside Antenna can be

mounted directly above the Desktop

Antenna with at least 20 feet vertical

or horizontal separation. The location

should allow you to mount the Outside

Antenna roughly in the direction of the

strongest cellular signal.

2. Mount the Outside Antenna bracket

to the rafter using the four screws and

four washers provided in Packet B

(pre-drill if necessary).

3. Connect the supplied coax cable to

the antenna lead cable on the Outside

Antenna.

Additional Considerations

Whichever installation you choose,

keep the following guidelines in mind to

maximize your signal strength:

1. Always turn the Outside Antenna sothe

weBoost logo is toward the strongest

cellular signal. The strength of the

signal at the Desktop Antenna (and

therefore, how far it will transmit asignal)

is dependent upon the signal strength

at the Outside Antenna. Besure to

maximize the strength at the Outside

Antenna.

Rotate in small

increments

2. Maintain a distance of at least 20 feet

from the Outside Antenna tothe Home

4G unit.

If possible, place the Desktop

Signal Antenna directly beneath the

placement of the Outside Antenna

location. This creates a maximized

signal zone within the room where the

Desktop Antenna remains.

3. Keep the Home 4G and the Desktop

Antenna at least 18 inches away

from each other with the weBoost

logo on the Desktop Antenna facing

away from the Home 4G.

4. Do not face the Outside Antenna and

the Desktop Antenna toward each

other. This can cause the Home 4G

to show red lights and shut down,

preventing oscillation or feedback

(see troubleshooting on pg. 10). In

other words, the weBoost logos

on the Outside Antenna and the

Desktop Antenna should always be

facing away from each other.

one for each band (see FAQ for explanation

of MHz bands). Each indicator light will

either be green, orange or red.

Band 4

Band 5

Band 25/2

Band 12/13/17

Green indicates that the booster is

powered and operating at maximum

gain.

Solid Red indicates that the booster

has shut off on the associated

frequencies to prevent oscillation

(feedback).

Solid Orange indicates that the

booster has shut off on the associated

frequencies due to close proximity of a

cell tower.

Green/Orange Blinking indicates that

the booster is operating at a reduced

gain due to close proximity of a cell

tower.

Green/Red Blinking indicates that the

booster is operating at a reduced gain

to prevent oscillation (feedback).

Note: All red light issues must be resolved

before orange light issues.

Fixing Red Light Issues

If one or more lights on the Signal Boost are

red:

1. Make sure all connections are tight.

2. Increase the distance between the

outside antenna and the inside

antenna, by moving them horizontally

and/or vertically farther apart until the

light(s) change to green.
