F115715S Wideband Consumer Signal Booster

Signal Quality test

You could do the following:

1. Do speed tests with the booster on and off, and make a comparison.
2. Check if the number of signal bars increases.
3. Make a phone call or send messages and check if the voice and streaming are better.

If the test is good, then congratulations, the indoor antenna position has been successfully found. Please install the indoor panel antenna.

If you’d like to cover more rooms, a second indoor panel antenna can be used. Use the 30ft NM-SMAM cable inside the package to connect indoor 2 port, and then repeat steps of 1st indoor antenna installation.
Note:

1. The built-in antenna will be disabled when the indoor2 port is occupied.
2. The connector of indoor2 port is SMA-Female, please make sure you buy the right cable.

Install the booster and cables

Mount the signa I booster in a dry and cool area, and it shall be easily accessible for maintenance.
And run the cables neatly, please do use the water-proof tape to protect all outside connections from the weather.

Test again the performance after installation is done
a. First make sure the Signal gauge value is unchanged from that during the outdoor antenna installation.
b. Test with a third-party app, make sure calls and network data iare smooth in most indoor

Now everything is completed and you can enjoy the mobile services.
If the result is not satisfactory or you want better signal, you may repeat the whole or part of the process to improve.
Should you have any queries during the installation, please kindly contact us via Signal Supervisor App online support.

LCD Assisted Installation

Flow chart of LCD Assisted Install

Step 1: Connect the Power Supply to the Booster

Due to the variety of phone models and the WiFi router types, there is a situation, though it is rare, where the booster cannot be linked to the Signal Supervisor app successfully.
If such situation is encountered:

• You can alternatively use LCD signal meter to assist your installation.
  And Bluetooth/WiFi disconnection won’t influence the booster working status at all.
• Or please use another cell phone or change a WiFi router if you insist an app assisted installation.
  Please contact our tech support if you have difficulties in installation, and we will provide the best solution for you.

Step 2: Find the cell tower & Determine the outdoor antenna’s position
2.1 Find the band you are using
For Android
Download Network Cell
Info Lite in the Google store and open it.
It can be seen from the example picture that the frequency band is band 13.
(According to the form before, you need to pay attention to Gauge LTE700)
Then click MAP. You can see your phone connecting to a tower, and you can try aiming your outdoor antenna at it. But sometimes this is not accurate. You could also move to Step 3.2 to find the tower
Note: Please take screenshots at this stage.

For ios

1. Dial 3001#12345#
2. Follow the instructions, take the screenshot as required.

2.2 Find the cell tower

1. Enter cellmapper.net

2. Choose your own carrier and band here.
   

3. Then enter the coordinate of where you are trying to install the signal booster, and press Enter key.
   (In fact when you open Cellmapper, the map on the right will automatically locate your area if you’ve given the site permission to access your location.
   If you found tower sites not even displayed on the map, it might because the app intercepts the locations for security reasons.)
   

4. After the map jumps to the location, you can scroll the mouse pulley and zoom it out, then you will see the tower near the location.
   It would be better to take a screenshot of this page to guide the following installing steps. Should you have any questions, please contact our tech support.
   Note: If you need help finding the tower, please contact our tech support and provide your carrier, band and screenshots taken in the last steps.
   

2.3 Determine the outdoor antenna’s position
The outdoor antenna is usually placed at one of the 4 ends of the roof.
Please choose the position according to the tower’s location.
Make sure there are no barriers between the antenna and the tower.

Step 3 Install the outdoor antenna
3.1 Connect the outdoor antenna with the booster

1. Put the booster near to the location you would like to install in the future, or a place with power outlet temporarily.
2. Power on the booster and make sure the signal supervisor app links with it smoothly.
3. Connect the 16.4ft cable with the booster’s outdoor port. The booster supports hot plug.
4. Then connect the window cable with 16.4ft cable and pull the window cable outside and connect it with 49.2t cable. In case window cable is not needed, connect the 16.4ft cable with 49 .2ft cable directly.
5. Connect the other side of 49.2ft cable with the outdoor antenna.

Notes:
*Please do NOT to connect indoor antenna at this moment as it will influence the outside signal finding.
Please place the booster within 30ft to the possible insatllation location of outdoor antenna if Bluetooth connection is applied. This is to ensure the App can connect to the booster.

3.2 Look for the best location and direction of outdoor antenna
Now pick up the outdoor antenna and point to above cell tower and adjust its position precisely, ask your partner to watch the LCD signal gauge to get a strongest possible output signal.
Ask your partner to look at the signal meter value, 1 Odbm(4k) or 12dbm(1 Ok) is the best.
Notes: The output power level in the signal meter is the level for each of the two indoor antennas.
Fix the outdoor antenna direction when you get the best output power

Professional Tips

• Keep in mind that it is normal for the output values may vary dynamically between 1-3 dB
• To optimize the signal for one carrier, point the outdoor antenna towards the closest cell phone tower designated to that carrier
• To optimize the signal for more than one carrier, point the outdoor antenna between multiple towers
• Make sure to slowly turn the antenna while taking the readings so the booster has time to adjust the reading
• Test and install the antenna at the same height where power outputs and gain values reach the booster’s maximum capacity

3.3 Fix outdoor antenna
Now install the outdoor antenna firmly

The connector of the cable connection part is glued with black waterproof tape to prevent long-term signal drop and reduce signal loss!

3.4 Reconfirm that the signal on LCD signal meter is the bestl
And take photo of LCD signal meter for future comparison during indoor antenna install.
What you are going to be paying attention to here, is the gain values. If you have interference between your indoor and outdoor antennas, then the booster will lower the gain and these values will decrease.

Step 4: Install the indoor antenna(s)
Now it’s turn to install the indoor antenna
Note: It is better to have two people at this stage. One can go around to find the best place for indoor antenna. While the other can walk around to do test all over to make sure every spot is covered with stable and high quality signal.

4.1 Find a proper location for the booster

1. As 4K/10K Mate Plus and 4K/10K Mate Plus Pro are equiped with a built-in antenna, the booster should be installed as a panel antenna.The radiation pattern is 80° horizontal and 70°vertical. So try to make sure your indoor antenna pointed to the area  you would like to cover with signal.
2. After finding the location, hold it there, and ask the other person to compare the gain and power on LCD signal meter, they shall keep the same or very nearby with the photo taken during outdoor antenna install. This is to avoid the loop back between  outdoor and indoor antennas, please move the indoor antenna till you get unchanged or slightly changed gain and power. This step is quite crucial for the booster’s best performance.

Please skip to Steps if you use 4k/10k Mate Plus.
4.2 Connect the indoor antenna with the booster’s indoor 1 port by indoor cable, and plug in the booster.

Notes: 4K/10K Mate Plus has a built-in antenna so you needn’t to install indoor panel antenna(s), 4K/10K Mate Plus Pro is the same situation but if you need more rooms to be covered, follow this step. (Each HiBoost Plus/Pro series has two additional indoor  antennas’ port, but it should be noted that if all of them are connected, the built-in antenna will disable)
4.3 Find the proper location for indoor antenna

1. The radiation pattern is 80° horizontal and 70°vertical. So try to make sure your indoor antenna pointed to the area you would like to cover with signal.
   

2. After finding the location, hold it there, and ask the other person to compare the gain and power on LCD signal meter, they shall keep the same or very nearby with the photo taken during outdoor antenna install. This is to avoid the loop back between  outdoor and indoor antennas, please move the indoor antenna till you get unchanged or slightly changed gain and power. This step is quite crucial for the booster’s best performance.
   

Two requests of indoor antenna install
A. Radiation shall be good enough to cover whole space
B. Loop back shall be avoided

Again the tips to avoid the loop back

1. Increase the distance between the outdoor and indoor antennas
2. The outdoor and indoor antennas shall be back to back
3. Utilize barriers between the indoor and outdoor antennas

4.4 Signal Quality test

You could do the following:

1. First make sure the signal gauge value is unchanged from that during the outdoor antenna installation.
2. Do speed tests with the booster on and off, and make a comparison.
3. Check if the number of signal bars increases.
4. Make a phone call or send messages and check if the voice and streaming are better.

If the test is good, then congratulations, the indoor antenna position has been successfully found. Please install the 1st indoor antenna.

If you’d like to cover more rooms, a second indoor panel antenna can be used. Use the 30ft NM-SMAM cable inside the package to connect indoor 2 port, and then repeat steps of 1st indoor antenna installation.
Note:

1. The built-in antenna will be disabled when the indoor2 port is occupied.
2. The connector of indoor2 port is SMA-Female, please make sure you buy the right cable.
   

Step 5: Install the booster and cables
Mount the signal booster in a dry and cool area, and it shall be easily accessible for maintenance.
And run the cables neatly, please do use the water-proof tape to protect all outside connections from the weather.

Test again the performance after installation is done
a. First make sure the Signal gauge value is unchanged from that during the outdoor antenna installation.
b. Test by a third-party opp, calls and network data are smooth in most indoor signal coverage areas.
Now everything is completed and please start to enjoy the mobile services.
If the result is not satisfactory or you want to be better, you may repeat the whole or part of the process to improve.
Should you have any queries during the installation, please kindly contact us via Signal Supervisor App online support.

Note:
Some customers have some misunderstandings about boosters, and we would like to clarify it here:
If you can’t even get a stable l bar outside the house or on the roof, then we suggest you return it as it won’t work in areas with very weak signal, the same is true of all boosters on the market.
