Preparing to Set Up Your zBoost Product

Tools Needed

The following tools are needed to set up zBoost:

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Cellular phone operating in the band supported by your zBoost unit

• Drill (may be required for outdoor or attic antenna placement)

Check for Signal Strength

Before placing a zBoost in your home, make sure that you can place calls on the outside of your

home,intheattic,atrooflevelorwhereveryouplantoplacetheExternalAntenna.zBoostcanonly

zBoost will not work for you.

Usingyourcellphone,placeacallfromanoutdoorlocationtoconrmthatenoughsignalispresent

to complete the call. If a weak signal is available at ground level, check the signal strength in your

atticoratrooflevellocationwherethesignalwilllikelybestrongerandwheretheExternalAntenna

can be placed for best performance.

If you can reliably make and receive calls outside your home, then zBoost can bring the signal into

your home.

If only one signal bar is displayed on your cell phone outside, indoor coverage will be

limited to one small room. WerecommendplacingtheExternalAntennaoutsideand/or
