Near the center of the roof
At least 12 inches away from any other antennas
At least 12 inches away from any windows
(including sunroofs)
Cle an the surface where you will place the outside
antenna.
Mount the outside antenna by placing on top of vehicle.
12 in. away from windows

______
(STEP 1 cont.)
See options below on how cable can be routed with
different vehicles.
Car/Sedan: Cable routed
into rear side door.
NOTE: When going through car wash,
remember to remove your antenna.
SUV/Van/Hatchback: Cable
routed into top of hatchback door.
Truck: Cable routed into
side door.
NOTE: The cable is strong enough that it
may be routed under weather stripping
and shut in most vehicle doors without
damaging the cable.

Step 2: Mount Inside Antenna
Identify a place to mount the 4G In-Vehicle Antenna, either on
the side of the seat or on the dash and mount. The location
should be at least 18 inches but no more than 36 inches
from where the cellular device will be used. Use the Velcro®
adhesive strip or the 2-sided adhesive strip provided and
attach to the side of the antenna labeled “MOUNTING SIDE”.
Then mount to desired location.
WARNING: DO NOT MOUNT WHERE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY.

Step 3: Connect Coax Cables
To Booster
Connect the cable from the Mini-Mag Mount Antenna to the
port labeled “Outside Antenna” on the Drive Reach booster.
NOTE: Bracket can be used to fasten booster in a specifi c location if desired.
The Velcro® strip on the bottom of the bracket can also be used to keep
booster from sliding around.

Step 5: Plug Power Adapter
Into Vehicle’s Power Supply
Plug the power adapter into vehicle’s 12V DC power supply.
The Drive Reach will automatically power on when plugged in.
If your Drive Reach is working correctly, the light on the power
adapter will be red, and the light on the booster will be green.
Use only the power supply provided in this package.
NOTE: If the 12V Cigarette Lighter port on your car is always on (even when
your vehicle is turned o ) and you will be parking for extended periods of
time (more than a day), we recommend you turn the booster o by pushing
the LED light, which is also a button. This will prevent the Drive Reach from
draining the battery in your vehicle.

______
Booster Light Patterns
Solid Green
This indicates that your booster is functioning properly and there are no issues with
installation.
Blinking Red, Then Solid Green
This indicates that one or more of the booster bands has reduced power due
to a minor 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.
If you are not experiencing the desired boost in coverage then refer to the
Troubleshooting section.
Solid Red
This is due to a major oscillation (feedback) loop. This is a built in safety feature
that causes a band to shut off to prevent harmful interference with a nearby cell
tower. Refer to Troubleshooting section.
Light O
If the Drive Reach Signal Booster’s light is off, verify your power supply has power.
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.

Troubleshooting
FIXING BLINKING OR SOLID RED ISSUES
This section is only applicable if the booster is red or blinking red and you are not
experiencing the desired signal boost.
Unplug the Booster’s power supply.
1
Relocate the inside and outside antenna further from each other. The objective
2
is to increase the separation distance between them, so that they will not
create this feedback condition discussed before.
Plug power supply back in.
3
Monitor the indicator light on your booster. If, after a few seconds of ‘power
4
on’, a solid or blinking red light appears, repeat steps 1 through 3. Increase the
separation distance until the condition is corrected and/or desired coverage
area is achieved. Note: Horizontal separation of the two antennas typically
requires a shorter separation distance than vertical separation.
If you are having any di culties while testing or installing your booster, contact
5
our Customer Support team for assistance (855.846.2654).
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can I contact customer support?
Customer Support can be reached Monday thru Friday by calling
Why do I need to create distance between the booster and the antenna?
Antennas connected to a booster create spheres of signal. When these spheres
overlap, a condition called oscillation occurs. Oscillation can be thought of as noise,
which causes the booster to scale down it’s power or shut down to prevent damage.
The best way to keep these spheres of signal from overlapping is to maximize
separation between the inside and outside antennas.

______
Safety Guidelines
Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may damage
your equipment.
All inside antennas must have at least 1.5’ separation distance from all active users.
Connecting the Signal Booster directly to the cell phone with use of an adapter will damage the
cell phone.
RF Safety Warning: Any antenna used with this device must be located at least 8 inches from
all persons.
This is a CONSUMER device.
BEFORE USE, you MUST REGISTER THIS DEVICE with your wireless provider and have your
provider’s consent. Most wireless providers consent to the use of signal boosters. Some providers
may not consent to the use of this device on their network. If you are unsure, contact your provider.
You MUST operate this device with approved antennas and cables as specifi ed by the
manufacturer
You MUST cease operating this device immediately if requested by the FCC or licensed wireless
service provider.
WARNING. E911 location information may not be provided or may be inaccurate for calls served by
using this device.
. Antennas MUST be installed at least 20 cm (8 inches) from any person.

Each Signal Booster is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. The Signal Booster cannot be adjusted without
factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Booster will amplify, but not alter incoming and outgoing signals in order
to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Booster is not in use for fi ve minutes, it will reduce gain until a
signal is detected. If a detected signal is too high in a frequency band, or if the Signal Booster detects an oscillation, the Signal Booster
will automatically turn the power o on that band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Booster will automatically resume normal
operation after a minimum of 1 minute. After 5 (fi ve) such automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut o until the
Signal Booster has been manually restarted by momentarily removing power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity
are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by weBoost could void the authority to operate this equipment.
