______

Step 1: Mount Outside
Antenna To Telescoping Pole

Mount outside antenna to telescoping pole (using the included
hardware). See examples below.

Run the coax cable through
L-Bracket and mount using the
phillips screws and lock washers.

NOTE: Do not over tighten.

Connect coax cable to outside antenna after mounting to
telescoping pole.

Step 2: Mount Telescoping
Pole To Side Of RV

Determine where you want to mount telescoping pole on your
RV. Extend pole to maximum height. Use wall mount plates
and ground mount to secure pole. We recommend mounting
near slider or toy hauler ramp door on the side.

NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL POLE ON RV UNTIL STABILIZER JACKS AND
WHEELS CHOCKS ARE IN PLACE AND RV IS IMMOBILIZED.

Ground Mount

Clean the fl at surface of the RV where wall mounts will be
placed. Fully extend the pole and attach the wall mount to
the top black ‘foot’ mount located on the pole. Remove the
adhesive backer and, making sure the pole is level at a 90°
angle, fi rmly attach the wall mount to the RV near the top.
There must be at least 4’ of separation between the top and
bottom mounts for best performance. Next, attach the other
wall mount to the bottom foot mount located on the pole and
insert the attached pin. Then remove the adhesive backer and
stick to the clean, fl at surface.

RVs With Corrugated Sides

We recommend using the side of a slider. Just ensure the following:

• There is enough clearance for the wall mount to
be retracted into the slider.

• There is still 4’ of separation.

Step 3: Booster Location

Find a location to place the booster inside the RV and
connect cable from outside antenna to port on booster
labeled ‘Outside Antenna’. We recommend routing the
cable through the slider gasket OR through the back door
of a toy hauler using the fl at cable provided.

NOTE: We recommend in a cabinet near a power source. Be sure it’s in a
location that the 30’ RG-6 cable can reach.

Connect cable from outside
antenna to port on booster
labeled ‘Outside Antenna’.

NOTE: Do not over tighten.

______

(STEP 3 Booster Location cont.)

Run cable through the slider on your RV (using the slider
gasket as a seal) OR through the back door of a toy hauler
using the fl at cable provided. For toy haulers, we recommend
using the fl at cable and closing this in the back ramp door.

NOTE: Do not fully extend your slide until
you route the cable through, then it may
be fully extended.

TIP: It’s easiest to create a loop with the
coax cable, lift up the gasket, and push
the loop through the other side.

Step 5: Connect Power
Supply

Connect power supply to booster. Plug the power supply
into a 120V power outlet in the RV. If your Connect RV 65 is
working correctly, the lights will be green (for blinking lights
see ‘Test System: Lights’ section).

NOTE: Use Open Signal App to point the outside antenna toward the
nearest cell phone tower. Twist the telescoping pole to prevent the cable
from ‘clinking’ against the pole.

If you are happy with coverage, orange lights don’t have to be resolved

• Solid Orange = Band has shut o

• Blinking Green/Orange = Band has reduced gain.

1 If the light is solid orange, the Outside Antenna must be adjusted (see below). Wait

10 seconds between adjustments for the lights to reset.

• Rotate the Outside Antenna away from the strongest cellular signal in small
increments (45°) until the light turns green. Un-plug and re-plug power supply.

2 If the light is blinking green/orange, re-locate the Outside Antenna. Un-plug and

re-plug power supply.

All Green Lights? = Band is set up optimally. Verify you
have good coverage.

If you have green lights, but poor coverage:

• Rotate the Outside Antenna in small increments. Un-plug and re-plug power supply.

• Move the Outside Antenna to a di erent location. Un-plug and re-plug power
supply.

The term “IC” before the radio certifi cation number only signifi es that Industry Canada technical specifi cations were met.

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.
