How Signal Boosters Work
The system amplifies the signal from the nearest tower and retransmits the amplified signal to any type of cellular device within the vehicle. As a wide-band booster, it enhances 3G and 4G LTE signals for all US and Canadian carrier networks.

Pre-Installation Instructions
HiBoost's Travel 4G 2.0 RV vehicle booster unit and antennas must be strategically placed to ensure optimal performance and maximum coverage.
The HiBoost Signal Supervisor app facilitates communication with the Travel 4G RV signal booster via Bluetooth, allowing remote monitoring of the booster's performance after registration.
Note: Boosters enabled with Signal Supervisor require a Bluetooth-enabled device for connection.
Professional Installation Tips:
- For a fast and optimized installation, it is strongly recommended to use the Signal Supervisor mobile application.
- Thoroughly read the user manual and gather all necessary tools, materials, and accessories before installation.
- A "soft installation" (temporary placement) is advised before permanent mounting to identify potential installation issues.
- The Signal Supervisor App includes a tool to help locate the optimal position for the outdoor antenna.
Installation – Signal Supervisor App
Ensure the booster unit is powered on and nearby before installing the Signal Supervisor App.
Note: Enable Bluetooth on your mobile device before attempting to register the booster.
- Download the Signal Supervisor App: Available on the Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Create a New Account and Log-in: Launch the app, select the HiBoost Server, and either log in with an existing account or create a new one.
- Register the Booster: Add the device from the home menu by navigating to "My Devices" > "Add a Device".
- Access Quick Installation Guide: After registering the booster, follow the path "My Devices" > "Select the Booster" > "Device Details" > "Quick Install Guide". Alternatively, the guide can be accessed directly.
Note: Bluetooth connections are limited to a range of approximately 30 feet. For any installation issues, please contact technical support via the Online Support Chat.
Installation – Manual Method
Before installation, survey and plan the layout of the vehicle booster system. Review the following instructions carefully.
-
Mount or place the indoor antenna: Position it near the front of the car's dashboard and connect it to the booster.
[Diagram: Illustration showing the placement of the indoor antenna inside a vehicle, near the dashboard, connected to the signal booster.]Note: Ensure the front of the indoor antenna patch faces the direction where signal distribution is desired.
-
Mount the magnetic antenna: Attach it to the roof of the vehicle, towards the rear end, and connect it to the booster.
[Diagram: Illustration showing the magnetic outdoor antenna mounted on the vehicle's roof, connected to the signal booster.] -
Connect power: Plug in the DC power supply and power on the booster.
[Diagram: Close-up of the signal booster unit showing the DC power input port.]Note: The booster's blue lights will flash for about 20 seconds as it adjusts to the current network environment.
