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.
This manual provides simple installation instructions that will have your signal booster kit running in
record time.
HOW TO INSTALL YOUR SIGNAL BOOSTER
1.1 Overview
This manual will help you properly install your signal booster kit. It is important to read through all of the
installation steps before installing your equipment.
Thoroughly read through the instructions, visualize where all the equipment will need to be installed and
do a soft installation by placing the devices where they need to be before mounting any equipment.

1.3 Installation Preparation
Before you install
• Make sure you have sufficient cable length between the proposed outdoor/indoor
antenna location and booster connector.
• Make sure the position you install the booster is near to an existing electrical outlet, well
ventilated, and away from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.

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. It should also be as far away as possible from where you plan to place the indoor
antenna (vertical separation is more important than horizontal separation).
3. Install the indoor antennas where you want to improve the signal level.
4. Mount the booster, connect the cables from the outdoor antenna and indoor antenna at the
designated ports, and connect the booster to the AC supply (make sure all the cables are connected
before applying power).
1.4 How to find the location with the strongest received signal
The outdoor signal strength the booster receives directly affects the efficiency of the indoor
coverage. That is why it is crucially important to install the antenna at a good location and point it
properly towards a tower where signal reception is the strongest.
There are many methods that can be used to find the strongest signal from the cellular towers.
One is to use the LCD display on the booster that shows the downlink power output of the booster
in each band, the other is to use a mobile phone or mobile phone app to test signal strength, and
the third is to use a commercially available signal strength meter.
We highly recommend that you use the LCD display on the booster as this method is generally
more convenient. However, in situations where the desired carrier's signal is much weaker than
the other local signals, using a mobile phone, app, or signal level meter can be a more accurate
method of homing in on the best signal for installation.
• LCD Display Method
Connect the outdoor antenna to the booster's outdoor port. Fix the outdoor

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. If the LCD shows maximum gain and power,
and there are not any alarms (no ISO, ALC, OFF legend flashing and no quick flashing
green or red in LEDs), it means the present location is the best for ensuring that the
booster has maximized performance.
Note: These showed values may vary dynamically at times between 1-3 dB which is normal
due to outdoor signal conditions.
• Mobile Phone Method
You can use a mobile phone to test signal strength on the top of the building. The number
of bars on the network indicator will define approximate strength of the received signal.
Normally the roof of the building is the best place to receive the strongest signal. As
shown on the drawing below, you need to test the signal in the points from A to E, and
select the location with the best signal strength for outdoor installation. It is recommend-
ed to use a mobile app that can display in a test mode the signal level in dBm units. It is
more accurate than checking the signal bars. For more details refer to http://blog.hiboos-
tusa .com/signal-strengthmeasure-instructions/.

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.
Mark the strongest received signal as the installation location and direction for the outdoor
antenna.
1.5 Install Outdoor Antenna
Install the outdoor antenna at the location with the strongest received signal.
IMPORTANT: Testing the signal 3 times in the desired location before installing the
outdoor antenna will help ensure the clearest and most stable signal for phone calls and
data transmission.
Note: Be sure the cradle is at the desired height and rotated toward the strongest cellular
signal before tightening the nuts. Do not over tighten.
1.6 Install Indoor Antenna
Select a place on a wall in the area where you need better reception. Mount the indoor
antenna with the included screws as shown in the figure below.
8/20
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.
Mount the booster with the included screws as shown in the figure below.
1.8 Run coaxial cable
Loosely run the supplied coaxial cable from your outdoor antenna to your booster
connector marked "Outdoor." We recommend applying waterproof tape to fully waterproof
the connection
Connect the indoor antenna cables from your indoor antenna to the booster connector
marked "Indoor." Tighten the connection by hand.
(After you have tested the system you can permanently secure the coaxial cable).
As you route and pull cabling, follow these general guidelines:
• Bend cables and route them smoothly, and protect the outer skin against any damage.

10/20
•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.Verify that you have left at least 1m of vertical separation space between the indoor
and outdoor antennas.
2.Never point the front of outdoor antenna towards the inside of the indoor antenna.
3.Verify that the supplied coaxial cables from both the outdoor antenna and the indoor
antenna are properly connected to the signal booster before powering it up.
4.Carefully plug in the supplied power adaptor into the signal booster where it is marked
'DC IN' and connect the other end to a power outlet.
The LED indicator marked power should light up green.
SIGNAL BOOSTER STATUS
Overview: The booster has a smart startup system. When you have finished the booster
system installation and power on the booster, it will start its initialization process to
check the received downlink signal from the cell site and the isolation status. This an
automatic process designed to ensure its best performance. This will take approximately
3-5 seconds.
After the booster starts up, please check if the coverage is good. If it is good, the booster
system installation is complete. If the coverage is not adequate, please fully reread and
understand the LCD, LED indications, control buttons, and MGC function on your
booster. These will help you identify and solve any potential issues.
