______

Determine Signal Strength

Having an accurate measurement of signal strength in decibels

(dBm) is crucial when installing your system.

Decibels accurately measure the signal strength you are receiving.

Decibels are not linear: A seemingly small increase in dBm can

make a huge dierence in signal strength!

DECIBEL GAIN POWER INCREASE

3dB 2 times the power and signal ampliﬁcation

6dB 4 times the power and signal ampliﬁcation

10dB 10 times the power and signal ampliﬁcation

12dB 16 times the power and signal ampliﬁcation

20dB 100 times the power and signal ampliﬁcation

Dial *3001#12345#* then press Call.

Hold down power button until you see “Slide to Power O”

then release the power button.

Hold the Home button until your main screen appears.

If you want to check 3G/1x but your iPhone is picking up 4G/

LTE signal, go to Settings>Cellular>Cellular Data Options>En-

Step 1: Find the dBm Reading

on Your Phone

All Other Phones & Alternate Methods

• https://www.weboost.com/test-mode-instructions/

All Phones:

• Keep track of the network (3G or 4G) phone is connected to.

• Any signal readings you take are valid for that phone’s carrier. To get readings

from other carriers, you’ll need phones from each carrier.

• When system is set-up, you can easily revert back to the “bar display” by

restarting your phone.

Step 2: Measure Signal

Strength: Inside Antenna

Turn o your cell phone’s WiFi to ensure you are checking the

cellular connection. The dBm reading will be refreshed every 30-60

seconds.

Want faster results? Once you have a reading, turn on airplane

mode. Wait 15 seconds. Turn o airplane mode. The signal strength

reading is refreshed.

Walk around your home/oce taking signal strength readings until

you ﬁnd the area that has the worst reception.

Remember: Place your Inside Antenna in this poor signal area.

• Connect the booster directly to the Inside

Antenna. Keep at least 18” of separation

between the Inside Antenna and the Booster

and face the Inside Antenna away from the

Booster.

• Keep the Booster away from direct sunlight,

heat (<150°F), moisture and 6” away from oth-

er objects (for ventilation). Ensure the Booster

is near an outlet.

HOME 4G CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER

Please note:

• The Outside Antenna must be at least 20’ away (horizontal or vertical) from the

Inside Antenna.

• Using the minimum required 20’ separation may result in reduced performance.

• To maximize coverage area, if possible place the Outside Antenna directly above

the Inside Antenna.

• If the Outside Antenna is outside the building, use the ﬂat Window Entry Cable

to connect both rolls of cable. You can use this option during set-up and/or

permanently.

______

Step 3: Measure Signal

Strength: Outside Antenna

IMPORTANT: This is the most critical step of the installation process

because it will determine the overall performance of the booster system.

Repeat the previous step OUTSIDE your home/oce to ﬁnd best

available signal strength in dBm. This is where you should place your

Outside Antenna.

IMPORTANT: The further apart the Inside Antenna is located from the

Outside Antenna, the better. To determine the best location for your

Outside Antenna, note the dBm reading in a variety of locations:

Increase horizontal and/or

vertical distance over 20’

for better performance.

______

Step 4: Connect the System

Connect supplied cable from the booster to

the Outside Antenna. See 7.1.

Separate the Inside Antenna from the Outside

Antenna by at least 20’. See 7.2. The more

separation, the better!

Do not face the Outside Antenna and the

Inside Antenna towards each other. See 7.3.

If both rolls of cable are needed, use cable

connector. See 7.4.

If the Outside Antenna is outside the building,

use the ﬂat Window Entry Cable to connect

both rolls of cable. See 7.5. You can use this

option during set-up and/or permanently if

you don’t want to drill holes through your wall.

Power up the Booster. To protect Booster

from power surges, connect to a power strip.

See 7.6.

IMPORTANT: Once you have determined the optimal signal strength

location for the Outside Antenna, temporarily mount or set the Outside

Antenna in that location.

Test System: Lights

Fix Any Red Light Problems (red indicates oscillation)

• If you are happy with coverage, red lights don’t have to be resolved.

• Solid Red = Band has shut o

• Blinking Green/Red = Band has reduced gain

Each light corresponds to a frequency band.

No Lights

Booster does not have power. Un-plug and securely re-plug in power supply.

Note: Lights may be dim.

IMPORTANT: To get an accurate reading of the lights, unplug and re-plug

the power supply from the Booster.

1. Verify Outside Antenna faces away from the Inside

Antenna. See 8.2. Un-plug and re-plug in power

supply.

2. Verify the Inside Antenna is at least 18” from the

Booster and pointed away from the Booster. Un-

plug and re-plug in power supply.

3. Tighten all cable connections. You may want to

undo and redo the connection completely. Un-

plug and re-plug in power supply.

4. BEST: Increase the distance (horizontally or

vertically) between the Outside and Inside

antenna. Add cable if needed. Un-plug and re-

plug in power supply.

OUTSIDE ANTENNA: The skinny side

should always face outside, towards the

cell tower.
