________ Package Contents Booster & Bracket 3-Way Antenna Mount Outside Antenna Antenna Spring Inside Antenna Thread Lock Mast Extensions & Side Exit Adapter Cable Adapter DRIVE REACH OTR FLEET CELL SIGNAL BOOSTER BU-GDE000264-001-030220.
______ Step 1: Select Mounting Location Select mounting location on vehicle. The antenna can be mounted in any CB mount or antenna mounting point on the vehicle. For best performance mount the antenna above the metal cab (it does not need to be above cab wind deflector). Depending on the type of truck, there may be built-in antenna mounting points. If the vehicle does not have built-in mounting points, the antenna includes a three-way mount that will work on vehicles with mirror rails.
______ Step 2: Assemble The Antenna cable from antenna Mast Extension NOTE: Mast Extensions may not be needed depending on your mounting point. If using Mast Extension(s) add thread locker (provided) to thread point(s). Screw into place. OTR Antenna Mast Extension NOTE: Be sure the antenna is the correct height before applying thread locker. Add thread locker (provided) to thread point and screw on the Side Exit Adapter.
______ (STEP 2 cont.) NOTE: The included spring should only be used on shorter masts variations. OTR Antenna 17” run cable through Mast Extension Mast Extension 32” 45” Antenna Spring (can be used optionally) run cable through Mast Extension Antenna Spring Mast Extension (can be used optionally) Side Exit Adapter 4 BU-GDE000264-001-030220.
______ Step 3: Mount Outside Antenna These are some typical antenna mounting points. If the vehicle does not have built-in mounting points, a three-way mount is included that will work on vehicles with mirror rails. Upper Side Top of Mirror Mirror Arm 3-Way Mount on bird perch mast side exit adapter 3-Way Antenna Mount The cable is strong enough that it may be shut in most vehicle doors without damaging the cable.
______ (STEP 3 cont.) If installing with the Spring, disassemble and reassemble the 3-Way Mount as shown below. Disassemble Remove nut & shakeproof washer Reassemble Side Exit Adapter Side Exit Adapter must be used with Spring Remove bolt & plastic washer Spring Mount disc washer with lip in the DOWN position Add thread lock on all threads with tube provided Fasten nut with lip in the UP position 6 BU-GDE000264-001-030220.
______ Step 4: Mount Inside Antenna Identify a place to mount the 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/adhesive strip provided and attach to desired location. Velcro® In-Vehicle Antenna Velcro® DRIVE REACH OTR FLEET CELL SIGNAL BOOSTER BU-GDE000264-001-030220.
______ Step 5: Wiring The Power Supply To Vehicle Battery Use steps below as a draft/template of the general install of the power supply. 1 Before connecting the power supply, disconnect the vehicle battery leads to avoid any electrical shocks during installation. 2 Locate a place where cables are already running through the firewall (rear wall of engine bay) to the inside of the cabin. 3 Locate the same firewall hole from inside of the vehicle cabin.
______ Step 6: Connect Coax Cables To Booster Connect the cable from the Outside Antenna to the port labeled “Outside Antenna” on the Drive Reach booster. NOTE: Bracket can be used to fasten booster in a specific location if desired. The Velcro® strip on the bottom of the bracket can also be used to keep booster from sliding around. Drive Reach from Outside Antenna bracket Connect the cable from the In-Vehicle Antenna to the port labeled “Inside Antenna” on the booster.
______ Step 7: Connect Power Supply To Booster Connect the power supply cord to the end of the booster, labeled “ .” NOTE: Do NOT connect the power to the Signal Booster until you have connected both the Inside and Outside Antennas. from Outside Antenna from Inside Antenna Power Supply 10 BU-GDE000264-001-030220.
______ 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.
______ 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. 1 Unplug the Booster’s power supply. 2 Relocate the inside and outside antenna further from each other. The objective is to increase the separation distance between them, so that they will not create this feedback condition discussed before. 3 Plug power supply back in. 4 Monitor the indicator light on your booster.
______ Safety Guidelines Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-weBoost product may damage your equipment. All inside panel and dome antennas must have at least 6’ of separation distance from all active users, and low profile 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.
