your wireless provider. If you know the direction of your provider’s tower, simply point the antenna
in that direction. If you are unsure of the location of the nearest tower, loosely secure the antenna
to the mounting surface or mast (not provided) to allow adjustment or rotation around mast. Before
securingantennahardware,takecareinndingtheoptimumangleatwhichtoaimtheantenna–
See Antenna Aiming section on page 9 for further instruction.
Once you have determined the optimum location and
angle, connect the L-bracket to the antenna and secure the
antennabrackettoamast(notprovided)oraatsurface
using the provided antenna hardware.(see bracket assembly
illustration). Ensure that the antenna remains at least 3 feet

unit etc.) and parallel to the ground with the two holes on the
side of the antenna are facing down.

provided screws. The of the U-Bolt is not necessary for
this option.
SECOND: Position the Base Unit
Assemble the Base Unit and Indoor Antenna and position the antenna vertically. This Base Unit
uses an omni-directional antenna that delivers signal in a circular pattern around the antenna. Place
the Base Unit in desired location – where you want to create a Cell Zone™ For the widest possible
signal area, it is recommended that you position the Base Unit near the middle of a room. The Base
Unitcanbeplacedonaatsurface(e.g.,abookshelf,desk,endtable,etc.)andperformsbest

KeeptheBaseUnitatleast2feetawayfromothercords,metalobjectsorotherwirelessdevices
such as wireless routers or wireless access points. The zBoost TRIO performs best when there are
