weBoost Home Studio

Features

Overview: The WeBoost Home Studio Cell Signal Booster (#470166) is designed to improve the cell signal inside a home office, apartment, or a small area of your home or office. Boosted signals result in fewer dropped calls and dead spots, clearer voice calls, and faster data rates. The multi-user Home Studio works on all cellular devices with all carriers simultaneously. It can increase the cell signals up to 32x and enhance cellular signals in one room, or an area of up to 1500 square feet. WeBoost Home Cell Signal Boosters are 5G Ready, so they will continue to work into the future.

Simple Installation: The Home Studio cell phone signal booster consists of three main components: the booster, the outside (receiving) antenna, and the inside (transmitting) antenna. The booster can be placed on a flat surface, such as a shelf, closet, or desk, or wall-mounted using the keyhole slots on the back panel. It will need to be placed near a power outlet, and must be connected to a surge protector with at least a 1000 Joule rating (to prevent voiding the 2 year warranty). The outdoor antenna can be mounted using the included pole mount kit. Up to 60' of low-loss RG6 coaxial cable is included. The indoor antenna attaches to the top of the booster via the SMA connector. The outside antenna connects to the booster via the included RG6 coax cable.

Status Lights: The Home Studio booster unit has five indicator lights on the front panel to correspond with Bands 2, 4, 5, 12, and 13. The lights glow or flash green, red, or yellow to indicate the status of the band:

• Solid Green: Booster functioning properly
• Blinking Green, Then Red: Band has reduced gain due to a feedback loop (oscillation). It's a safety feature to prevent harmful interference.
• Solid Red: Band has shut itself off due to oscillation.
• Blinking Green, Then Yellow: Band has reduced gain due to an overload from a nearby cell tower. This safety feature prevents harmful interference with the cell tower.
• Solid Yellow: Band has shut itself off due to an overload from a nearby cell tower. Outside antenna must be adjusted.
• Lights Off: The booster is not receiving power from the power supply.

Signal Strength: Before installing the booster, you should check your current cellular signal strength using your phone. Bar graphs are not an accurate indicator of signal strength. Most phones allow you to switch from bar graphs to a digital readout of signal strength (in dBm). There are also available 3rd party apps, such as OpenSignal or Speedtest, for testing signal strength. Typically, the range of signal strength is between -110 dBM and -30 dBM, with a figure closer to zero being the strongest. You should run tests with and without 4G/LTE reception turned on. The area on the outside of your home with the strongest signal is typically the best location for mounting the outside antenna. The inside antenna should be placed in the room where you spend the most time, or where the signal is weakest. A general indication of signal strength is as follows:

Room Coverage: The quality of the cellular signals outside your home determines the amount of coverage the boosted signal will cover inside.

Gain Improvement: Increasing your signal strength by only 3dB means you have essentially doubled the power and signal amplification. A 6dB increase equals 4x the power, 10dB increase is 10x the power, and a 20dB increase shows a 100x signal improvement. The maximim permissible antenna per band (dBi @ 50Ω) is 6.1 (Band 2), 5.8 (Band 4), 4.5 (Band 5), 4.9 (Band 12), and 4.9 (Band 13).

Benefits: The Weboost Home Studio helps increase the signal strength in typically weak signal areas. With stronger signals, your cell phone doesn't have to work as hard to find a signal, extending battery life. Data rates are increased, meaning data download times are reduced. You'll experience fewer dropped calls and delayed texts, and faster data speeds for improved video streaming.

Legal Disclosure: The Home Studio cell phone signal booster is a consumer device, and is FCC certified to current technical specifications. Before you use the product, you must register the device with your wireless provider, and have your provider's consent. Most wireless providers consent to the use of signal boosters, however, some providers may not consent. If you are unsure, you should check with your cellular provider. You must operate the device with approved antennas and cables as specified by the manufacturer. Antennas must be installed at least 8" from any person.
