1. Unplug the BASE UNIT power supply.

2. Relocate the EXTERNAL ANTENNA to pick up the

strongest signal from your wireless carrier.

3. Move the EXTERNAL ANTENNA as far away from the

INDOOR ANTENNA as possible, with at least 15 ft. of

vertical separation (height difference).

4. Plug the BASE UNIT power supply back in.

SETTING UP YOUR zBOOST

SIGNAL BOOSTER

zBoost cell phone signal boosters extend a Cell Zone

for multiple users and ALL

devices operating on 800 and 1900 MHz frequency bands. zBoost boosts signal up to

3,500 square feet, making it perfect for your home or office.

Boost voice and data transmission and increase call clarity in 4 easy steps:

FIRST: Mount the External Antenna. Choose a location for the External Antenna

using your cell phone to determine the area of strongest signal. The coverage your

zBoost provides is largely determined by the quality of signal received by the External

Antenna.

Before installing, please note the following important factors in determining your zBoost

performance:

• At least 15 vertical feet is needed between the External Antenna (receives the

outside signal) and the Indoor Antenna (rebroadcasts the signal indoors). Separation

less than 15 vertical feet will result in decreased performance.

• Keep the External Antenna at least 2 feet above any metal such as wiring, A/C ducts,

truss plates, etc. When attaching the cable to the External Antenna, run the cable

straight down from the antenna. Avoid draping the coax near the antenna.

Choose one of the following options for placement of the External Antenna keeping

in mind that if your best signal is one bar, your coverage will be limited to one

small room.

To maximize signal coverage, place the External Antenna where you find the strongest

signal (up high or outside) and at least 2 feet above any metal.

IMPORTANT: Incorrectly mounting the External Antenna to the mounting bracket (see

figure A) will impede performance. Ensure that the External Antenna is properly

positioned in the mounting bracket as pictured below.

To mount antenna to a non-metal pole: Attach bottom of antenna to pole bracket

as pictured. Use U-Bolt to secure bracket to pole and fasten.

To mount antenna to a flat surface: Attach bottom of antenna to pole bracket

as pictured. Secure bracket to desired surface using provided screws. Use of

the Saddle and U-Bolt are not necessary for this option.

SECOND: Place the zBoost Base Unit where you want to create a Cell Zone

Connect the Indoor Antenna to the Base Unit and place it where you need signal. For

the widest possible signal area, position the Base Unit near the middle of a room. You

may also mount it on an interior wall by first removing the bracket, screwing the bracket

to a wall (screws not provided) then snapping the Base Unit back in place keeping the

Indoor Antenna vertical. This Base Unit uses an omni-directional antenna that delivers

signal in a circular pattern around the antenna.

The zBoost PRO requires at least 15 feet of vertical separation between the Base Unit

and the External Antenna. Generally, increasing this distance (up to 40 feet) will

increase the performance and decreasing the distance will limit zBoost performance.

Keep the Base Unit off the floor and at least 2 feet away from other cords, metal objects

or other wireless devices such as wireless routers or wireless access points. The

zBoost PRO performs best when there are no obstructions between the zBoost Base

Unit and your mobile device.

THIRD: Run the provided coaxial cable between the Base Unit and External

Antenna

Connect one end of the cable to the External Antenna and the remaining end to the

Base Unit. Should additional cable length be needed, 15 ft. extensions (Part

YX030-15w) are available at www.zBoost.com. Note: Cable runs longer than 60 ft. are

not recommended, unless upgraded to RG-11. RG-11 can be run up to 120 ft.

FOURTH: Connect the zBoost

Base Unit to the provided power

supply and plug into a power

outlet. When your zBoost system

is in place and fully connected,

walk throughout your home or

office and verify that you are able to

reliably place calls. If the signal

strength has improved, your zBoost

is working.

Remember, coverage varies based

on outdoor signal level, building

construction, and antenna

placement. Coverage in adjoining

rooms will be reduced by walls and

building materials.

Upon initial power up, the LED will

cycle RED, GREEN and ORANGE

for 30 seconds. After, a series of

GREEN flashes will indicate the quality of your setup. Following this, a solid GREEN

light indicates normal conditions. If it is not solid GREEN, follow the instructions in

the Base Unit LED Indicators section.

Adjustments may be needed to optimize performance. If you find the increased

signal coverage is acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed.

Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:

• Relocate the External Antenna in order to capture a better signal–higher is better

• Increase the distance between the Indoor Antenna and the External Antenna

• Purchase an upgrade antenna available at www.zBoost.com
