How it works
HOME 7500
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/oce.
Distributes Signal
The signal booster receives
the signal from the outside
antenna and amplies the voice
and data signals.
Boosts Signal
American Booster Home 7500 has been designed to provide an advanced solution for boosting your
signal and increasing the cellular data speeds in your house or oce.

Installation Guide
STEP 1. Find the Strongest Signal
1-1. Using an iPhone
Dial *3001#12345#*, then press Call.
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
If you have a meter that detects and displays the current signal levels, you can use it.

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/oce.
-70dBm
-90dBm
If you have -70dBm outside signal, then you will have an excellent signal inside your house or oce.
If you have -90dBm outside signal, then you will have a good signal inside your house & oce.
HOME 7500 User Guide 9
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 oce. 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.
Antenna Separation 20 ft.
Separation Between Outside Antenna and Inside Antenna
10 HOME 7500 User Guide
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.
STEP 2. Install the Outside Antenna
1
Install the outside antenna in a location where you can receive the strongest signal according to
the instructions described in STEP 1.
Make sure outside antenna is installed with the point of the triangle facing toward the cell tower.

STEP 3. Run the Outside Antenna Cable
Note TV cables already being used for other purposes can not be shared with the cell
booster during installation.
When mounting the outside antenna to the outside wall of your building, the easiest way is
to run the cable on the outside of the wall and attach it to the exterior of your house or oce.
Then drill a hole through the wall which will allow the cable to appear on the inside of the
building. To avoid any potential harm or damage, make sure that there are no electrical outlets,
sewer water pipes, or electrical wiring in the wall before drilling.
After drilling the required hole, run the cable through and seal it.
In some instances, it may be possible to run the cable up into the fascia of the attic overhang.
In this circumstance, the cable will be accessible in the attic further routing.

STEP 4. Install the Inside Antenna
Inside Panel Antenna is directional, so the signal will be distributed from its front side in one
direction. We would not recommend to install the Inside Antenna close to the oor.
The inside antenna should be installed a minimum distance of 20 ft. from the outside antenna.
Note
HOME 7500 User Guide 13
STEP 5. Install the Signal Booster
Choose a location for the signal booster, preferably away from excessive heat, direct sunlight,
moisture and free from high temperatures. Do not place the signal booster in an air-tight
enclosure. Attic installations may expose the booster to high heat.

Connect the AC/DC power adaptor to the booster and plug into a power source.
The power LED will light, indicating that the signal booster is ready for use.

LED Indicators
LED
HOME 7500
After the Signal Booster is powered on, ashing green will last for 20 seconds.
It means that the Signal Booster is being set up for optimal performance.
The Signal Booster will need a few minutes to adapt to the network environment and start boosting
the signal at the highest power.
The Signal Booster provides a real-time self-diagnosis, so in case of ashing or solid red, refer to the
Troubleshooting instructions on the next page.
Flashing Green
If one or more of the LEDs is ashing or solid red, this indicates that the input signal from the nearby
cell tower is too strong.
After ashing red for 10 seconds the solid red will appear.
Signal Booster will stop amplifying signals of the frequency with a solid red indicator automatically
to prevent the Booster from any damage.
If the rest of LEDs are green and you have a strong signal and fast data speeds on your cell phone or
tablet, then troubleshooting is not needed.
Flashing & Solid Red
This indicates that the Signal Booster has been installed and works properly.

Troubleshooting
If you have a good voice signal and fast data speeds even though one or two of LEDs are solid red,
you may continue to use the Signal Booster as it is.
However, if one of the LED’s has ashing or solid red, your voice signal is weak and data speeds are low,
Then follow the troubleshooting steps below.
1. Unplug the Signal Booster’s power adapter.
2. Check if the outside antenna and inside antenna are located a minimum distance of 20 feet
from each other.
3. Plug the Signal Booster into a power source.
4. Check the LED on the Signal Booster. If one or two of the LEDs are still ashing or solid red, then try
moving the inside antenna further away from the outside antenna and repeat steps 1 through 3
to see if the additional distance resolves the problem.
5. If you have any diculties with installation or troubleshooting the Signal Booster, please contact
our technical support team for assistance (Tel : 913-469-6699).
LED’s O
1. If none of the LEDs on the Home 7500 Signal booster are lit, verify that the signal booster is connected
properly to the AC/DC power adapter cord and then verify that the power adapter is plugged into a live
AC outlet in the house.
2. Check if there is any damage in the power cable.
3. Check if there is any damage in the Signal Booster’s connector.
