NOTE: The zBoost PRO 10K SL ZBC745SL 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 oor 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 performs best when there
are no obstructions between the zBoost Base Unit and your mobile device.
Upon initial power up, the LED will cycle RED, GREEN and ORANGE for 30 seconds. After 30
seconds, a series of GREEN ashes 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 nd
the increased signal coverage is acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed. See
“Base Unit Light Indicators” on page 11) for more information.
SECOND: Position Base and Indoor Antenna
The Base Unit can be easily mounted on a wall by rst removing the bracket from the Base Unit
and using the provided mounting hardware to afx to wall. Connect the Indoor Antenna to the 15
feet of RG-6. Then, using the TNC-F Adaptor, connect the RG-6 to the Base Unit. The Base Unit
should be a minimum distance of 4-5 feet off from the oor so there is clearance for the Indoor
Antenna extension.
The Indoor Antenna should be mounted on a wall facing the direction where increased coverage is
desired. Keep the Indoor Antenna off oor and at least 3 feet away from other cords, metal objects
or other wireless devices such as wireless routers or wireless access points. The zBoost performs
best when there are no obstructions between the Indoor Antenna and your mobile device.

Wall Mounting the Base Unit
The Base Unit can also be easily mounted on a wall. The Base Unit should be a minimum distance
of 4-5 feet off from the oor so there is clearance for the Indoor Antenna extension.
Perform the following steps to mount the Base Unit on a wall:
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the Base Unit by slightly spreading the tabs on the
mounting bracket.
2. Fasten the mounting bracket to the wall using the self-tapping wall/ceiling anchors.
3. Snap the Base Unit into the mounting bracket.
THIRD: Run the Coaxial Cable
NOTE: Refrain from securing cable or drilling holes until the system has been tested.
Note
Avoid placing the External Antenna near metal such as
wiring, A/C ducts, metal siding, truss plates, etc.
When connecting the cable to the antenna, run the cable
straight down from the antenna. Avoid draping the coax
near the antenna.
