How it works F27-5S is designed to help mobile users amplify weak signals of 2G, 3G and 4G. They are bi-directional ampli ers. The donor antenna receives the signals from the cell tower, ampli es it, and transmits to the signal booster. Then the indoor antenna will receive the signal and retransmit it to your mobile device.
Cavity Splitter (2,3,4 way) Wilkinson Splitter (2, 3, 4 way) Features Embedded CPU, self-adaptive intelligent system to make booster system very easy to install and better performance is guaranteed under complex and constantly charging RF environment. ISO: Intelligent isolation processing to avoid self-oscillation, quite wide adjusting range to stabilize the signal strength/ quality for clearer voice/ higher data speed and avoid interference to mobile network.

"Power dBm" - Power indication. The displayed value shows real-time power. When booster's output power is lower than -10dBm, the value will display “---“. "ISO" - Isolation alarm indication. When the booster doesn't have enough isolation between the outdoor and indoor antennas, the "ISO"...
Control Button operation There are 4 operation modes: Long press on "Query" key, short press on "Query" key, short press on "UP" and short press on "DOWN" key. When LCD is in the xed display mode, press "Query" key for 3s and it will start up Setting Mode. Press "Query"...
5dB less than downlink gain, uplink gain shouldn't be more than downlink gain in order to avoid interference with mobile network. Install Hiboost Booster system Before you install Make sure you have su cient cable length between proposed outdoor/indoor antennas and the booster in case you don't purchase standard kits.
1. Install Outdoor Antenna 1.1 How to nd the place with the strongest receiving signal. The booster's main function is to improve weak RF signal inside a house, o ce or any other indoor area. The receiving strength of outdoor antenna and the strength of the signal reception outdoors directly a ect the e ciency of indoor coverage.

Mobile Phone Method. You can use mobile telephone to test signal strength near the window or on the top of the building. The number of bars on network indicator will de ne approximate strength of the received signal. Normally the roof of the building is the best place to receive the strongest signal.
Note: Wrap waterproof tape around the connectors between outdoor antenna and feeder line to avoid water or other kind of damage. 2. Install Indoor Antenna. 1.1 How to nd the place with the strongest receiving signal. Select indoor panel antenna or omni-ceiling antenna as an indoor antenna according to your needs to provide indoor coverage.
Step 1. Drill a hole in the ceiling. Step 2. Unscrew a xing nut from the antenna. Pass the antenna cable through the hole. Screw the xing nut back onto the antenna, leaving the cable in the ceiling crawl space, and fasten. Step 3.

booster starts its initialization to check it is receiving signal and the isolation status to ensure its best performance. This will take around 3-5 seconds. After the booster start up, please check whether the coverage is good. If it is good, the booster system installation is complete.

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" ashing on LCD display means that ISO function is working great and the self-oscillation has been eliminated.

Please install more indoor antennas or replace with a booster of higher power level. 2) If the signals in small part of areas have not been improved, please check below: Check whether indoor antenna is installed correctly or not. You may try to move the antenna location to improve coverage.
Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number supplied by HiBoost. HiBoost will supply two options, repair or replace. HiBoost will take charge of delivery for the consumers located within the continental U.S.A.
All HiBoost products that are packaged with other HiBoost accessory products are intended for resale and used as a single use. Such product kits are required to be sold to the end users as packaged. RMA numbers may be obtained by contacting Technical Support.
Warnings Users must follow the below principles: Booster should follow system requirement of communication equipment, assure good grounding and lightning protection. The power supply voltage of booster should meet the standards of security requirement; any operation shall be carried out only after cutting o power in advance. Only the professional is authorized for the operation.
