Conrm That Your zBoost is Working Properly
When your zBoost system is in place and fully connected, you should walk throughout the area and
see that you are able to reliably place calls.
Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, home construction, and antenna
placement. Coverage in adjoining rooms (next to, above, or below) will be reduced due to walls or
ceiling/oors.
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
• Relocate the External Antenna in order to capture a better signal –higher is usually better
and outside is better than inside.
• Increase the distance between the Base Unit and the External Antenna.
• Purchase an upgrade antenna available at www.zBoost.com.
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.
THE BEST INDICATOR OF PRODUCT
PERFORMANCE IS THE ABILITY TO RELIABLY
PLACE AND RECEIVE CALLS WHERE YOU COULD
NOT BEFORE SETTING UP THE ZB545.
