Preface This user manual describes design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of Hiboost wide band consumer single and dual band boosters. Please, read user manual carefully before installing and maintaining the boosters. The information in this manual is subject to change without prior notice. Opinions are welcomed about the manual improvement.
Overview Hiboost triple, quadruple and quintuple band consumer boosters are designed to help mobile users to amplify weak cell phone signal. The devices are bi-directional. The outdoor antenna receives the signal from the cell tower and transmits it to the signal booster, the booster amplifies the signal and the indoor antenna sends it to your mobile device.

Manual gain control (MGC) Since the booster has intelligent software system, MGC attenuation is not needed, except for the cases when you don't feel comfortable about ISO or ALC flashing, or in some extreme cases you might need to attenuate gain value. When LCD is in the fixed display mode, press “Query”...
Install Hiboost Booster System Before You Install • Make sure you have sufficient cable length between the outdoor/indoor antennas and the booster in case you have not a standard kit • Make sure the place where you install the booster is near to one existing electrical outlet.

Step 1. Install Outdoor Antenna 1.1 How to find the place with the strongest receiving signal The booster’s main function is to improve weak RF signal inside a house, office or any other indoor area. The receiving strength of the outdoor antenna and the strength of the signal reception outdoors directly affect the efficiency of indoor coverage.
Page 16
Remark: when ALC shows up flashing, it means the receiving signal power is stronger than the system needs it. It is recommended to adjust outdoor antenna position unless ALC alarm disappears. Or you can leave it as it is to let the booster self-adjust automatically.

band yagi antenna as an option. Pole mounting is recommended for your convenience: Step1: Use an existing pole or obtain a pole of 1 to 2 inches in diameter and install it in the desired location. Step2: Unscrew nuts from the antenna base by hands or with a wrench, if needed. Fix horizontal plate of the L-bracket on the antenna base with screws.
Step 2.Install Indoor Antenna Select indoor panel antenna or omni-ceiling antenna as an indoor antenna according to your needs to provide indoor coverage. Install the indoor panel antenna as shown on the graph below. Step1: Select a place on a wall in the area where you need better reception. Normally, to provide an overall coverage, you will need to choose a corner.
Step 3.Install Signal Booster 1. Select the location near a power supply on a wall. 2. Mount the booster with the screws included into the kit as shown on the graph below. 3. Connect the outdoor antenna cable to booster connector marked as “outdoor”.
Step 4.Booster Commissioning Overview: The booster has an intelligent startup system, booster commissioning is an automatic process able to guarantee system optimal performance. As soon as you finish booster system installation, plug it in a power supply to power on the booster. It will start working and checking the receiving signal and the isolation to ensure best system performance.

1. The rated output power is reached, but the coverage is not enough or the signal in specific areas isn’t improved: Check whether the indoor antenna is installed correctly or not, try to • change the antenna position to improve coverage. Check if it is necessary to adjust the direction of the indoor antenna.

ISO status indicates if the booster has enough isolation between outdoor and indoor antennas in order to avoid loop back or so-called self-oscillation. Thanks to intelligent software, HiBoost is fully protected from interference with operator mobile networks. "ISO" flashing on LCD display means that ISO function is working great and the self-oscillation has been eliminated.
