Note
Cell phone signal bars are approximate and vary from
phone to phone. The number of bars can fl 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.

Power Supply
A longer cable is helpful only if it allows you to place the Signal Antenna in a location where you
measure stronger signal.
FOURTH: Connect the zBoost Base Unit to the provided power supply and plug
into a power outlet
Upon initial power up, the LED will cycle RED, GREEN and ORANGE for 30 seconds. After 30
seconds, a series of GREEN fl ashes will indicate the quality of your setup. Following this, a solid
GREEN light indicates normal conditions. If it is not solid GREEN, follow the instructions in the
Base Unit LED Indicators section. Adjustments may be needed to optimize performance. If you fi nd
the increased signal coverage is acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed. See
“zBoost Base Unit Light Indicators” on page 8) for more information.
NOTE: The Base Unit can be plugged into a standard 2 or 3 prong 110 VAC receptacle using the
Included power supply. The power supply consumes less than 10W (less than 0.2A AC). For more
information on power consumption, see “Technical Specifi cations” on page 9.Confi rm That Your
zBoost is Working Properly
When your zBoost system is in place and fully connected, you should walk throughout the room
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 will be reduced due to walls or ceiling/fl oors.
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
• Move the Base Unit and/or adjust the angle of the Indoor Antenna.
• Move the antenna around the window – higher is usually better.
• Move the Base Unit farther from the Signal Antenna or around a wall.
