NCAA/FED, Signal #7 from the chart, hand straight up and wave side to side. I believe NFL is hand extended straight out and wave up and down. This is what I did as LJ one time this year on a 4 man crew when I was covering a punt that became a TB. I was corrected by my WH, who loves to do just that every chance he gets. 
Here is a link to page 1 of the signal chart on the NFHS Website:

WOW! I read that before and my mind must have just translated it into what I've always seen on TV. The way it reads though it's almost a fair catch signal to signal a touchback.
