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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
•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.
