Preparing to Install zBoost
Check for Signal Strength
Before installing zBoost in your home, make sure that you can place calls on
the outside of your home or in the attic or at roof level where you will install the
signal antenna. The zBoost Series can only bring cell phone signals into your
home if cell phone signals are reaching the outside of your home, your attic or
at roof level.
Using your cell phone, place a call from an outdoor location to confirm that
enough signal is present to complete the call. If a weak signal is available at
ground level, check the signal strength in an attic or roof level location where
the signal antenna could be installed for best performance.
If you can reliably make and receive calls outside your home, then zBoost can
bring the signal into your home.
Important Note on Using Signal Bars to Determine
Coverage Area
Cell phone signal bars are approximate and vary for each
model of phone. The number of bars can fluctuate widely,
depending on the exact location of the phone, position or
angle of the phone, weather, etc. Most cell phone signal
meters update every 6 to 10 seconds. An increase of only
one bar typically indicates a 4x to 10x signal increase.
THE BEST INDICATOR OF COVERAGE AREA IS
YOUR ABILITY TO RELIABLY PLACE AND
RECEIVE CALLS.
Determine the Needed Coverage Area
Identify the location in your home/office where you need signal coverage the
most. The YX600 Series can cover up to 10,000 square feet (coverage varies
based on outdoor signal level, building construction, and general installation
care). Walls, ceilings or floors will reduce the coverage area.
Location of Signal Antenna and Base Unit Antenna
It is recommended that the Signal Antenna and Base Unit Antenna have
approximately 15 feet of vertical separation. If the antennas are too close
together, the Install light on the Base Unit will be lit or flash red indicating a
problem (See Troubleshooting section). Place the Signal Antenna as high as
possible to capture the best signal.
Cable Requirements
You must use RG-6 coaxial cable and F connectors which are rated for outdoor
satellite TV use and can be found at many home improvement and electronic
stores.
