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. See illustration below.
• Keep the External Antenna at least 3 feet above any metal.
See page 6, Setting Up Your zBoost Signal Booster, for additional information.

IMPORTANT: Incorrectly mounting the External Antenna to the
mounting bracket will impede performance. Ensure that the External
Antenna is properly positioned in the mounting bracket as pictured
below.
To mount antenna to a pole: Attach the antenna to pole bracket as
pictured. Use U-Bolt to secure bracket to pole and fasten.
To mount antenna to a at surface: Secure bracket to desired
surface using provided screws. Use of the Saddle and U-Bolt are not
necessary for this option.
Additional Cable Requirements
If the distance between the External Antenna and the Base Unit exceeds 50 feet, extension cables
are available on our website. The included cable is RG-6. For better performance, you may replace
it with RG-11.
The total cable length should not exceed 65 feet unless you also purchase an upgraded External
Antenna (see page v). A longer cable is helpful only if it allows you to place the External
Antenna in a location where you measure stronger signal.
