Mounting the Base Unit
 e Base Unit can also be easily mounted on a wall. Attach the Base Unit to a suitable wall surface using the
provided hardware kit.  e Base Unit should be oriented with the indicator light near the top of the unit.
Connect the RG-6 coaxial cable from the Indoor Antenna to the Base Unit.
Running the Coaxial Cable to the Base Unit
Coaxial cable is not provided with the YX741. After installing the External Antenna, you will need to run
coaxial cable to the Base Unit.  e recommended maximum cable length run for RG-6 is 65 ft. and 120 ft.
for RG-11. It is highly recommended that you refrain from securing your cable, drilling any holes, etc. until
you complete and test the installation of the Base Unit.
For example, if you plan to use the Base Unit in meeting room of a two-story o ce,  rst run the cable from
the roof down the stairs to the meeting room. After the Base Unit is installed and successfully working,  nd
a more direct and permanent route for the cable (e.g., dropping it through the ceiling of a nearby closet).
Connect the YX741 Base Unit to Power Con rm  at it is Working Properly
With everything connected and the Base Unit plugged in, you should walk throughout the area and see that
you are able to reliably place calls.
Upon initial power up, a solid GREEN LED should appear indicating normal conditions. If a RED light
appears, adjustments may be needed to optimize performance. If you  nd the increased signal coverage is
acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed. See Light Indicator section (page 10) for more
information.
Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, building construction, and general installation
care. Coverage in adjoining rooms (next to, above, or below) will be reduced due to the walls or the ceiling/
 oor.
Improving  e Coverage Area
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
1. Move the Base Unit and/or adjust the angle of the Indoor Antenna.
2. Move the External Antenna to a higher location outside.
3. Purchase an External Antenna upgrade at www.zBoost.com.
