Setting Up Your zBoost Signal Booster
FIRST: Mount the External Antenna
Choosing the best location for the External Antenna provides
the best performance and the largest area of improved signal.
Choose a location for the External Antenna using your cell phone
to determine the area of strongest signal - typically found outside,
above the rooine or in an attic. The antenna must also remain at
least 3 feet from any metal objects such as pipes, metal siding,
A/C unit etc. and at lease 15 vertical feet above the Indoor
Antenna.
Identify the best location for attachment of the mounting bracket
– such as an attic cross or main beam. Secure the mounting
bracket at the highest possible point.
Position the mounting bracket such that the External Antenna
will be vertical and attach the External Antenna. See “Antenna Bracket Assembly” below for more
information.
Antenna Bracket Assembly
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 External Antenna to a pole: Attach the antenna to
pole bracket as pictured. Use U-Bolt to secure bracket to pole and
fasten. DO NOT mount to a metal pole.
To mount External 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.
SECOND: Place the zBoost Base Unit where you want to create a Cell Zone
TM
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 rst removing the bracket, screwing the bracket to a wall (screws not included), then
snapping the Base Unit back in place keeping the Indoor Antenna vertical. The Base Unit uses an
omni-directional Indoor Antenna that delivers signal in a circular pattern around the antenna.
The zBoost REACH 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 the 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 REACH performs
best when there are no obstructions between the zBoost Base Unit and your mobile device.
