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, building construc on, and antenna placement.
Coverage in adjoining rooms (next to, above, or below) 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 Base Unit Antenna.
• Move the antenna around the window – higher is usually be er.
• Move the Base Unit farther from the Signal Antenna or around a wall.
