HOW IT WORKS The HiBoost Home Plus signal booster is designed to help mobile users improve signal in homes, offices, and other areas where cellular signal is weak or unreliable. The outdoor antenna receives the signal from the nearest cellular tower, amplifies it, and transmits to the signal booster. Then the indoor antenna will receive the signal and retransmit it to your mobile device. The signals produced by your phone are also amplified by the indoor antenna via the booster and outdoor antenna.

Tools Required Phillips Screwdriver Drill Mobile Phone Before you get started, you will need to plan the layout of your system. This involves finding the location with the strongest received signal from the cellular tower, as well as antenna, booster, and cable placement. General installation steps: 1. Find the strongest received signal for the location of the outdoor antenna. 2. Install the outdoor antenna on the roof to obtain the strongest downlink signal from the local cellular towers.
antenna on the roof of the building and point it to the nearest cell tower. Then have a look at the gain and output power value displayed on the booster's LCD. Note: Above values displayed on the LCD are examples for Home 10K Plus, other models please refer to the data sheet. The outdoor antenna receives the strongest signal when the booster's downlink output power reaches its highest level in each band.
Note: Please try to receive a signal from cell towers that are not overloaded with multiple users. This can be estimated by the population density in the area served by the tower. For example, it is recommended to avoid cell towers near supermarkets, shopping malls, stadiums or any other public places visited by many people regularly. This will help maintain reliable phone call connections and higher speed data services.
1.7 Install your signal booster The signal booster should be mounted in an easily accessible area so it's easy to perform general maintenance. The area is properly ventilated and not exposed to excessive heat, moisture and/or direct sunlight. The optimal area would be on a wall located near a power outlet. Please use a surge protector rated at a minimum of 1000 Joules between the booster's power adaptor and the AC power outlet on the wall.
•Keep horizontal cables straight and fasten them with a tie every three to five feet. •Bind and fasten vertical cables every six to eight feet. •Waterproof all connectors between outdoor antenna and coaxial cables with waterproof tape to avoid water or other kinds of damage. •Be careful when plugging the connector in so as not to damage the center pins on the connectors. 1.9 Power up your signal booster Once all the following precautions have been taken, power on the signal booster. 1.

ALC: When the booster is receiving too much DL power from the tower and the DL booster output is close to saturating, the "ALC" indicators will flash showing that the ALC has lowered the gain to prevent this overload condition. Press the "SET" button and the screen will turn on to help with troubleshooting and show the band or bands affected.

direction or position of the outdoor antenna. You may also try replacing the outdoor antenna with a higher gain antenna to increase the incoming signal. • Check to see if it is necessary to add more indoor antennas. Barriers such as walls can block the signal indoors. You should also check the booster to make sure the power is maximized . Try installing more indoor antennas or replace the booster with a higher powered one. 2.
