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

bring signal into your home when signal reaches the External Antenna. If there is no signal, the

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

purchasing a zBoost upgrade External Antenna for increased coverage (see page v).

Note

Cell phone signal bars are approximate and vary from

phone to phone. The number of bars can uctuate

widely, depending on the location of the phone, the

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.
