How it works
HOME 5000
The signal booster’s outside
antenna receives voice and
data signals from a nearby
cell tower.
Receives Signal
The boosted signals are
distributed inside your
house/oce.
Distributes Signal
The signal booster receives
the signal from the outside
antenna and amplies the voice
and data signals.
Boosts Signal
American Booster Home 5000 has been designed to provide an advanced solution for boosting your
signal and increasing the cellular data speeds in your house or oce.

1-2. Using an Android
Download the ‘Network Signal info’ from the Google Play store.
After installing, you will be able to view your dB strength.
1-3. Using a Meter

STEP 1. Find the Strongest Signal
Note The stronger signal you receive from the base station, the better coverage you will have
inside your house/oce.

STEP 2. Install the Outside Antenna
The outside antenna is shaped like a triangle. This antenna must be mounted as high as possible
on the exterior of the house or oce, but never higher than 35 ft. above the ground.
Mount the outside antenna on the side of the house where you detected the strongest cell phone
signal. The point of the antenna triangle should be pointed towards the location of the strongest
cell phone signal (which should also be the direction of the closest cell tower) and away from the
expected placement of the inside antenna.
For the best performance, the outside antenna and the inside antenna should be a minimum
distance of 20 ft. apart from each other. A bigger separation between outside antenna and
inside antenna will provide a stronger signal and better coverage.
Separation Between Outside Antenna and Inside Antenna
Antenna Separation 20 ft.
