IMPORTANT: Before Installing, Note These Important Factors in Determining
Performance
1. 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.
If the antennas are too close together, a solid ORANGE light will appear on the Base Unit -
see the Base Unit Light Indicators section (page 10). To capture the best signal, place the
External Antenna as high as possible.
2. Position the External Antenna vertically and keep it at least 3 feet above any metal.
Grounding the External Antenna
If the External Antenna is placed outdoors, it must be properly grounded. (See page v for a
recommended grounding kit).
The setup must be in accordance with Article 810 of the National Electric Code (NEC). A listed
antenna discharge unit must be provided for the lead-in coaxial cable per NEC article 8.10.20 or the
shield of the coaxial cable must be permanently and effectively grounded in accordance with NEC
article 8.10.21. Please consult a professional installer or electrician for more information
Securing Cable with a Drip Loop
If the External Antenna is placed outdoors, create a drip loop
with the coaxial cable at the point where the cable enters the
home through an outside wall. This can be done by twisting and
securing the cable into a loop (no less than 4” across) near the
entry point. This will help prevent moisture from gathering at
entry point and leaking into the home. Consult a professional
installer for more information.
Power Requirements
The Base Unit can be plugged into a standard 2 or 3 prong 110 VAC receptacle using the included
power supply. The power supply consumes less than 10W (less than 0.2A).For more information on
power consumption, see “Technical Specifi cations” on page 11.
Warning
The zBoost TRIO Xtreme REACH base unit MUST only
be used with the provided power adaptor. Use of other
power adaptors will void the warranty and may damage
the unit. Use of other equipment is not FCC approved.
