HiBoost 10K Smart Link provides 2 options of booster installation,
APP and LCD installation ways are unique methods provided by HiBoost.
1.App assisted installation,
FIRST CHOICE From Page 6~19
It's more convenient and many work could be done by ONE person, and the
most important is that the obtained signal can be very precise.
2. LCD assisted installation,
SECOND CHOICE From Page 20~32
It can achieve the same precise effect as App guidance.
But it may need two people and the installation process is a little cumbersome.

- Page 5 More notes on how to keep the maximum booster gain. The loop back from the outdoor antenna to the indoor antennas will reduce the gain, so the principle to keep the maximum booster gain is to avoid the loop back from the outdoor antenna to the indoor antennas. Measures can be taken to avoid the loop back 1) Increase the distance between the outdoor and indoor antennas, generally the same vertical distance generates more loss than horizontal, and to follow easily, a Typical Required Distance Between Outdoor and Indoor Antennas Over 30 feet(10 meters) horizontal distance or 13 feet (4 meters) vertical distance.
