______
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.
Ladder
Phillips-head screwdriver
10mm open-end wrench or adjustable wrench
Drill (if routing cable through wall)
Mounting Option A:1-2” diameter pole (#901117) or an
existing pole
Recommended: Power Strip with surge protection
2 to 3 hours
2 people (a person to help with antenna calibration)
CONNECT 4G-X CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER 3
ENGLISH
Dial *3001#12345#* then press Call.
1Hold down power button until you see 'Slide to
Power O'.
2Then release the power button.
3Hold 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
Settings > About Phone > Status or Network > Signal Strength

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.
• When system is set-up, you can easily revert back to the “bar display” by dialing
*3001#12345#* press Call, press the signal strength at the top left of screen to
toggle between numbers and bars, then press the Home button to exit Field
Test mode.

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/oce 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.
Weakest Signal Number:___________
Weakest Signal Location: ___________
Place your Inside Antenna in this poor signal area
on the floor and against the wall where you will
mount it. For best results, keep the inside antenna
more than 18 inches away from the booster.

ENGLISH
______
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.
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.
Note: The Outside Antenna must be at least
20 feet horizontal or 50 feet vertical from the
Inside Antenna for best performance. Make sure
the Inside Antenna and outside Antennas are
facing away from each other.

______
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 (Good)
Note: The Outside Antenna must be at least
20 feet horizontal or 50 feet vertical from the
Inside Antenna for best performance. Make sure
the Inside Antenna and outside Antennas are
facing away from each other.

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”.
Did you know a signal increase in just
3dB is 2 times the power and signal amplification!
