______

Step 1: Preparation

NOTE: These instructions will walk you through a “soft” install process to ﬁnd the

optimal locations for the inside and outside antennas, then through the process of the

permanent installation.

You Will Need (tools not included)

Make sure the following materials are prepared and ready for your installation.

o Ladder

o Phillips-head screwdriver

o 10mm open-end wrench or adjustable wrench

o Drill (if routing cable through wall)

o Mounting Option A:1-2” diameter pole (#901117) or an

existing pole

o Recommended: Power Strip with surge protection

1 to 2 hours

2 people (a person to help with antenna calibration)

HOME 4G CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER

Put your iPhone into ﬁeld test mode. To do this dial

*3001#12345#* then press call.

1Hold down power button until you see 'Slide to

Power O'.

2Then release the power button.

3 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-

able LTE>Select O.

After you system is set up, you can go back to the dots signal

by once again dialing *3001#12345#* then pressing call.

When the menu comes back up, tap “phone” in the top left

corner of your phone.

Settings > About Phone > Status or Network > Signal Strength

or Network Type and Strength (exact options/wording

depends on phone model).

iOS 11 no longer displays the decibel (dBm) reading in ‘Field

Test Mode’. Tip: Using the bar indicator on your cell phone can

assist you in ﬁnding the strongest signal direction as well as

placing calls in dierent locations. For changes/updates on this

issue, periodically go to weboost.com/signalstrength.

______

Step 2: 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.

______

Step 3: Measure Signal

Strength For Inside

Antenna Placement

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. Test both 3G and 4G signal for best results by turning the LTE o in

the carrier settings of your device.

SIGNAL STRENGTH EXCELLENT GOOD FAIR POOR DEAD ZONE

3G/1x

(typically voice) -70dBm -71 to -85dBm -86 to -100dBm -101 to -109dBm -110dBm

4G/LTE

(typically data) -90dBm -91 to -105dBm -106 to -110dBm -111 to -119dBm -120dBm

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 weakest reception, or number farthest away

from zero. For example -100 is a weaker signal

than -80.

Users on iOS 11 and above will need to use an

alternative method using the bar indicator on

your cell phone and/or placing calls in dierent

locations.

Weakest Signal Number:___________

Weakest Signal Location: ___________

Place your Inside Antenna in this poor signal area.

For best results, keep the inside antenna more

than 18 inches away from the booster.

HOME 4G CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER

______

Step 4: Measure Signal

Strength For Outside

Antenna Placement

This is the most critical step of the installation

process because it will determine the overall

performance of the booster system. Using the

same method as Step 3, ﬁnd the place with the

strongest signal (number closest to zero) on the

outside of your home.

Users on iOS 11 and above will need to use an

alternative method using the bar indicator on

your cell phone and/or placing calls in dierent

locations.

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.

6CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER HOME 4G

______

Step 5: Temporarily Mount

The Outside Antenna

Use one of the two options to mount the

outside antenna on the side of the house with

the strongest signal.

Note: Using an app like 'Open Signal' will help

you point the outside antenna in the direction of

the nearest cell phone tower.

AOption (Best)

BOption (Better)

COption (OK)

Note: The Outside Antenna must be at least

50 feet horizontal or 20 feet vertical from the

Inside Antenna for best performance. Make sure

the Inside Antenna and outside Antennas are

facing away from each other.

Step 6: Placing Inside Antenna

And Connect The System

Connect the supplied Inside Antenna

to end of booster labeled Inside.

Power up the Booster by connecting it

to a power source.

Note: To protect Booster from power

surges, connect to a power strip.

Connect the supplied Coax Cable to

end of booster labeled Outside.

Note: Finger-tighten these only, do

NOT use tools for coax connections.

Place inside antenna in weak signal

area at least 18 inches away from

booster.

Step 7: Compare Results

Using the ﬁeld test mode described in step 3, measure the new signal

strength and write it down here ___________.

Compare this number with the original reading you took in the same part of the house.

If the number is higher (closer to zero) than the original reading without booster, your

booster is working. If it is not, look at the lights on the booster and the section at the

end of this manual “Test System: Lights”.

Users on iOS 11 and above will need to use an alternative method using the bar

indicator on your cell phone and/or placing calls in dierent locations.
