______ Package Contents Inside Antenna Home MultiRoom Power Supply (850018) (314440) Window Entry Cable (951177) Outside Antenna (314445) Outside Antenna Mounting Bracket 30’ & 2-15’ Cables (950630), (YX030-15W w/971129 Barrel Connector) Wall Mount Brackets w/Command Strips Cable Mounting Clips Qty.
______ Preparation You Will Need (tools not included) Make sure the following materials are prepared and ready for your installation.
______ Step 1: Inside Antenna & Booster Placement Place the Inside Antenna where you need the greatest signal boost and place Booster in your desired location at least 24” away from Inside Antenna. NOTE: Do not connect booster to power until the system is fully installed. TIP: The cable from the Inside Antenna can be routed into the ceiling and connected to the coax cable out-of-sight for a better look.
______ (STEP 1 cont.) The Inside Antenna can be mounted horizontal, vertical or on a desktop. Command strips can be used to secure mounting bracket.
______ Step 2: Mount & Point Outside Antenna Toward Nearest Cell Tower Pole mounting and wall mounting options are included. The pole mounting option is preferred because it will be easier to adjust to the direction of the c ell tower. Attach the Mount to the Outside Antenna and use the Bracket Clamps to attach the Antenna to a pole or exhaust pipe. Outside Antenna Bracket Clamp Mount Pole (1.0”-3.0”dia.) NOTE: Mounting on existing roof exhaust pipe would be a good time-saver option.
______ (STEP 2 cont.) Point the Outside Antenna toward the nearest cell phone tower. To find the nearest tower, use an app such as ‘Open Signal’. T his is the most critical step of the installation process because it will determine the overall performance of the booster system. The greater the separation between the Inside and Outside Antennas, the better performance you will get from the booster.
______ (STEP 2 cont.) If there’s not a pole to easily mount the Outside Antenna, this may be mounted on the fascia by fastening the bracket as shown below. TIP: Make sure to do the optimization test on Step 4 to find the best side of your house before you mount this on the fascia.
______ Step 3: Route & Connect Outside Antenna To Booster Connect the white RG-6 Cable to Outside Antenna and route cable into the home. A Window Entry Cable is provided to help make cable entry easier. All connections should be finger tightened only. Cable Mounting Clips provided Window Entry Cable 15’ RG-6 Cable connection Outside Antenna 15’ RG-6 Cable Booster Route cable to the Home MultiRoom Booster and connect to the port labeled ‘OUTSIDE ANTENNA’.
______ Step 4: Route & Connect Inside Antenna To Booster Connect the white 30’ Cable to Inside Antenna and route to the Home MultiRoom Booster and connect to the port labeled ‘INSIDE ANTENNA’.
______ Step 5: Power Up The Booster & Optimize The System Plug the Power Supply into wall outlet then connect to end of booster labeled “ ” (turn 90° to lock connector). NOTE: We strongly recommend using a power strip with surge protection.
______ (STEP 5 cont.) OPTIONAL: After powering up your system, you can optimize your system to see if more performance is possible. Rotate the Outside Antenna in 1/8 turn increments, after each turn, unplug and reconnect the booster to power while observing the signal level on your cell phone from the Inside Antenna’s projected area. Secure the Outside Antenna in place, pointing in the direction that gives you the strongest signal.
______ Measuring Booster Performance How To Get Signal Strength As A Number iPhone® iOS 11 and later no longer displays the decibel (dBm) reading in ‘Field Test Mode’. Tip: Using the dot signal strength indicator on your cell phone can assist you in finding the strongest signal direction as well as placing calls in different locations. For changes/updates on this issue, periodically go to weboost.com/signalstrength.
______ (MEASURING BOOSTER PERFORMANCE cont.) Signal Strength without Booster Note here: Signal Strength with Booster Note here: Compare Results 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.
______ Light Patterns Solid Green This indicates that your booster is functioning properly and there are no issues with installation. Home MultiRoom Blinking Green & Red Band has reduced gain. This indicates that one or more of the booster bands has reduced power due to a feedback loop condition called oscillation. This is a built in safety feature to prevent harmful interference with a nearby cell tower. If you are already experiencing the desired signal boost, then no further adjustments are necessary.
______ Troubleshooting IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE COVERAGE, THESE LIGHT ISSUES DON’T HAVE TO BE RESOLVED. YOUR CARRIER’S BAND HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED. FIXING ANY RED LIGHT ISSUES This involves Solid Red & Blinking Green/Red lights. 1 Verify Outside and Inside Antenna face away from each other. Un-plug and re-plug in power supply. 2 Verify the Inside Antenna is at least 24” from the Booster and pointed away from the Booster. Unplug and re-plug in power supply.
______ Antenna Kit Options The following accessories are certified by the FCC to be used with the Home MultiRoom. This radio transmitter 4726A-460059 has been approved by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below, with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
______ Safety Guidelines To uphold compliance with network protection standards, all active cellular devices must maintain at least six feet of separation distance from Inside Panel and Dome antennas and at least four feet of separation distance from desktop Antenna. Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may damage your equipment. The Signal Booster unit is designed for use in an indoor, temperature-controlled environment (less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit).
