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.

The outdoor antenna receives the strongest signal when the booster's downlink output

power reaches its highest level in each band. If the LCD shows maximum gain and power,

and there are not any alarms (no ISO, ALC, OFF legend ﬂashing and no quick ﬂashing

green or red in LEDs), it means the present location is the best for ensuring that the

booster has maximized performance.

Note: These showed values may vary dynamically at times between 1-3 dB which is normal

due to outdoor signal conditions.

• Mobile Phone Method

You can use a mobile phone to test signal strength on the top of the building. The number

of bars on the network indicator will deﬁne approximate strength of the received signal.

Normally the roof of the building is the best place to receive the strongest signal. As

shown on the drawing below, you need to test the signal in the points from A to E, and

select the location with the best signal strength for outdoor installation. It is recommend-

ed to use a mobile app that can display in a test mode the signal level in dBm units. It is

more accurate than checking the signal bars. For more details refer to http://blog.hiboos-
