Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect my cell phone signal range and strength to be inside my home?

The closer you are to the base, the stronger the signal. This will vary with different conditions. Some

of the conditions that will affect the improved data coverage area are signal strength outdoors, the

typeofbuildingmaterialsinthehome,theplacementoftheunitandtheantenna’sproximityto

cellular towers.

Youcanexpectthatyourindoorcoveragewillbeimproved.Youwillexperiencefaster,morereliable

data where you didn’t before. The degree of improvement will depend upon many factors. The

intent of zBoost products are to bring outside coverage inside. Just as the signal bars move up and

downwhenoutside,theboostedsignalwilluctuateinasimilarfashion.

Is a cellular phone signal booster the same as a wireless router; will it help my WiFi signal?

The zBoost unit will not help your WiFi service. The WiFi in your home operates on a different

frequency.

Why isn’t my cell phone indicating more signal with more bars?

You may not always observe more bars on your signal meter because of the signal spreading out

fromtheantenna.IfyourphonehasadBmeter,3dBisasignicantincreaseof2x,6dBis4x,and

10dBis10x.Onafourbarphone,one"bar"equalsabout10dB.

The increase in signal you will see depends upon:

• ThelevelofsignalattheExternalAntenna(outdoor)

• The care of the antenna placement (two feet away from metal, adequate antenna

separation [15 vertical feet of separation is recommended])

• The signal already present inside (related to building losses)

• Thedistanceofyourphone/devicefromtheBaseUnit(signalspreadsordiminishesrapidly

with distance.)

There are usually several mobile devices in use at one time in my home, will your product

boost all of our signals simultaneously?

The zBoost TRIO is designed to cover multiple signals simultaneously and will allow multiple users

to operate at the same time.

Does the zBoost work if you have no bars?

No, if no signal is present outdoors zBoost products will not work for you. Also, keep in mind if your

bestsignalis1barattheExternalAntenna,yourcoveragewillbelimitedtoasmallroom.You

could improve that with an upgraded antenna (See page v).
