How it works
HEENNGEEI HG5B-US20I is a high-quality bidirectional signal booster that
enhances cellular signals to areas that are prone to weak cellular coverage.
HG5B-US20I works with two types of antennas: A Service antenna (Built in
antenna) that communicates with your cell phone and a Donor antenna that
communicates with the cell tower.
- One Donor antenna is used to collect signal from the cell tower.
- The antenna then sends the signal to the booster through coax cable.
- The booster amplifies the cell signal and rebroadcasts the signal indoors via the Service antenna to all mobile devices within range.
- The system also works in reverse amplifying outgoing signal back to the tower.

Installation Procedure
Step 1. Finding the Strongest Outdoor Signal
Using your phone, identify the outside location with the strongest signal for
placement of your outdoor antenna, The outdoor signal strength will directly
affect coverage performance. It is important that users install the outdoor
antenna in the right position, pointing at cell tower from the roof. It may
help to narrow down the location of the nearest cell tower by visiting
www.cellreception.com or
www.antennasearch.com.
Generally, gaining height of Donor antenna may also help if users are in rural
areas where cellular signal is generally weaker.
Note: The Bars of signal indication are not always a reliable measure of
signal. The best way to confirm signal quality is the ability to hold high
speed data rate or voice call.
Connect the outdoor antenna to the booster (Donor port) using the outdoor coaxial cable included in the kit, Place the booster in a location where it will be potentially installed, ensure that there is at least 30 ft of separation between the booster and outdoor antenna, Connect the adapter power supply to the booster and power on, Carry the outdoor antenna to the highest point on the roof to find the strongest signal direction.
While pointing the outdoor antenna towards the horizon, slowly rotate around in a 360-degree circle When the LED signal indicator turns to stable blue, the direction and position of the donor antenna is the position We determined.
Professional Tips:
- To optimize the signal for one carrier, point the Donor antenna towards the closest cell tower designated to that carrier
- To optimize the signal for more than one carrier, point the Donor antenna between multiple towers
- If the direction of cell tower appears in different directions, especially in the opposite direction, replacing the Donor antenna with an omni antenna(option)
Step 2. Install the Donor Antenna
After identifying the position of strongest signal, choose the surface where
you will mount your Donor antenna.
Option A: Outdoor Yagi Antenna
Before installing a Yagi directional antenna, note that the antenna should be
mounted on a pole or pipe (not provided), at the highest possible location
above the roof line where the antenna can “see” your cell tower.
The antenna is mounted horizontally and aimed in the direction of your
determined. Once you have identified your install location, ensure that the
mounting area has at least a 10-ft radius clear of obstructions.
As shown, assemble the U-bolt, bracket, Nuts and washers onto a pole or pipe
as shown in the illustration. Keep the connections loose enough to allow the
antenna to rotate until the optimum direction is found. Once the outside
antenna is secured to a pipe or pole, connect antenna to cable connector for
the outdoor cable provided with your kit and run along route to planned
location of your booster.
Option B: Outdoor Omni Antenna
The omni antenna is omni directional, which receives and sends signals in a
360º radius. The provided hardware allows for either a surface mount or pole-
mount.
For best performance, be sure to place the outdoor antenna at least 50 feet
from the indoor antennas. Place the antenna as high as possible. Make sure
that the mounting area has at least a 36-inch radius clear of obstructions and
other radiating elements. The antenna should be mounted in upright position.
See illustration.
To mount antenna to a vertical surface:
-
Using vertical plate of L-bracket, mark position of desired placement.
-
Place vertical L-bracket into desired location and tap the screws, headfirst, along with sleeve, into stucco 1/2 to 5/8 inches deep into place.
( Note: Alternate screws may be required for different surfaces such as wood or concrete.) -
In this order, place washer, lock washer and nut on each screw and tighten until secure. When tightening screw, sleeve will expand to secure plate.
-
Use provided screws to secure antenna base onto horizontal plate.
-
Connect antenna to cable connector for the outdoor cable provided with your kit and run along route to planned location of your booster.
Step 3. Install Indoor Antenna(s)
Indoor antennas may be either omni antenna or directional panel antennas. One
indoor cable is provided per antenna. For kits with multiple antennas, a cable
splitter and joining cable is also supplied.
- For indoor dome antennas, mount on a ceiling in a central location where signal is needed.
- For indoor panel antennas, mount on a wall that faces in the direction signal is needed.
- The indoor antenna location should allow for sufficient separation between the outdoor antenna and indoor antenna. Vertical separation is preferred as it is more effective than horizontal separation.
- The minimum separating distance recommended is 30 vertical feet; however, increased Horizontal separation, may be needed, especially where vertical separation cannot be achieved.
The service area provide by indoor antenna is dependent on the following factors:
- Received signal strength by the outdoor antenna.
- Physical obstructions between the antenna and mobile devices.
- Distance between mobile and indoor antenna.
- Solution/separation between the outdoor and indoor antennas. Antenna aiming and Isolation. A significant factor in determining booster coverage performance
Option A: Indoor Dome Antenna
The HG-0638102 wide band antenna is the latest ultra-thin ceiling antenna that
sends and returns signals from all sides.
- Drill a 20 mm diameter hole in the ceiling. The ceiling thickness should not exceed 20 mm.
- Unscrew fixing nut from antenna. Place antenna cable
- Upwards through ceiling hole.
- Screw the fixing nut back onto the antenna and tighten fixing nut to secure antenna.
- Once secure, connect one end of the indoor cable to the antenna connector and route cable toward the location of your booster.
- Connect the other end of the indoor cable to the booster connector (service port)
Option B: Panel Antenna
HG-0627103 panel antennas are directional with a 75˚ reach. They should be
mounted facing the area signal is needed and away from the outdoor antenna
- Using plate, mark position of desired screw placement.
- Screw mounting plate into place with the slide panel protruding towards you.
- Slide antenna securely onto mounting plate.
- Following panel antenna placement, connect antenna to one end of cable for the indoor antenna cable and route toward the location of your booster.
Step 4. Install the Booster
There are two ways to install the Booster. The user can choose wall mounting
and desktop placement
- Try to Select a location close to an AC outlet. Do not expose the signal booster to excessive heat, direct sunlight, damp, and Enclosed space. When you want to mount the booster to a wall, mark location of screw tabs on the wall in the desired location.
- Remember that there must be at least 30 ft of vertical separation between the outdoor antenna and the booster with built-in antenna.
- Install the back frame hook on the wall with corresponding screws
- Connect the Donor antenna cable to the booster connector marked Donor and tighten the connection.
- Hang the booster vertically down on the hook.
- Connect the inside antenna cable to the booster connector marked Service and tighten the connection.
- Connect the plug on the other end of the 110V AC power outlet and connect the AC power cord to the signal booster.
- Turn the booster’s power switch on.
Noted: This booster is equipped with a built-in antenna, please install the booster in an appropriate position, facing the place where you need to cover the signal.
Installation skills
- Keep at least 30 feet worth of vertical separation in between the indoor and outdoor antennas
- The front of the outdoor antenna is NOT facing towards the front of the indoor antenna
- All coaxial cable connections to the antennas and booster are properly connected
- Keep horizontal cables straight and secure with zip-ties every 3-5 feet

connector.
2. Adjust the outdoor antenna direction, keeping it away from the indoor
antenna and restart the booster
3. Adjust the outdoor antenna direction, keeping it away from the indoor
antenna and restart the booster
4. Change the indoor Dome antenna type to an antenna with a more
directional antenna pattern – adjust the indoor antenna and the outdoor
antenna so they are not pointing at each other, then restart the booster
Booster has no power or inoperative| 1. Verify that the booster
power is turned on.
2. Be sure the power source is not controlled by a switch that can remove
power from the outlet by connecting to an alternate power source.
3. If the RUN LED on the signal booster remains OFF or green Solid,
contact tech support at: +86-28-61485995 or
support@1booster.com
Coverage has not improved or. Section of the building hasn’t been
improved| 1. Verify that cable connections are tightly fitted to the
booster and antennas.
2. Check the installation of your Donor antenna. A weak outdoor signal
leads to the low output signal level – change the direction or position of the
Donor antenna.
3. If you use a Yagi antenna as Donor antenna, verify that the antenna is
properly aimed in the direction of your carrier’s cell tower.
4. Verify the outdoor signal strength at the site the Donor antenna. If
signal level is low, your resulting coverage will be limited. Try to replace
the Donor antenna with a higher gain antenna to increase the amount of signal
being received
5. Verify to see if it is necessary to add more indoor antennas, for
barriers such as walls can block the signal indoors
6. Verify the output power is maximized (the Led lit blue), the user may
need to replace the booster with a more powerful one if the amount of outdoor
signal available is limited
7. Verify the indoor antenna is installed correctly, try moving and
adjusting the indoor antenna to improve coverage
