Find the Strongest Cellular Signal
Before you install your Home 4G signal
booster, you must determine the location of
the best available cellular signal. This will
affect the location of your Outside Antenna
and will help you get the best performance
strongest signal outside your building,
typically at the highest point available, using
any of the following methods:
1.
Best method:
Connect the Outside Antenna to the
Home 4G signal booster, and the Home
4G to the Desktop Antenna. Have one
person outside (on the roof for best
results) rotate the Outside Antenna with
a second person inside the building
near the Desktop Antenna watching the
signal strength on a phone. This allows
you to read the signal strength from
nearby cell towers.
a. The person inside should have
the phone in test mode so the
numerical signal strength can be
read. This is more accurate than the
bar indicator. Go to https://cellphone
signalbooster.us help in finding the test
mode for your phone.
b. The person on the roof should turn
the Outside Antenna 45 degrees
at a time. Allow 30 seconds for the
phone to register with each turn.
c. The person inside should note the
readings on the phone with each turn.
Signal readings usually appear as
a negative number. The closer the
number gets to zero, the stronger the
signal (for example, -86 dB would be
a moderately good reading while -55
dB would be an excellent reading,
and -110 dB would be a weak, or
unusable signal).

d. Once you have determined which
direction provides the strongest
outside signal, you can install the
Outside Antenna in that general
direction.
2.
Good methods:
a. Place calls from several locations
outside your building. As you move
to different locations, note where
you get the best reception.
b. If you have a smart phone, you
can download apps that help you
identify locations of cell phone
towers or the strongest signal. Go
to the App Store and search for "cell

Acceptable method: Check the bar

indicator on your cell phone display
and note where the signal appears
the strongest. (Note: cell phone bars
are only an approximation of signal
strength and vary from phone to
phone.) Phones can take up to 30
seconds to reset to a new reading. Be
patient and repeat your signal check
several times.
