Preparing to Set Up Your zBoost Product
Tools Needed
The following tools are needed to set up zBoost:
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Cellular phone operating in the band supported by your zBoost unit
• Drill (may be required for outdoor or attic antenna placement)
Check for Signal Strength
Before placing a zBoost in your home, make sure that you can place calls on the outside of your
home, in the attic, at roof level or wherever you plan to place the Signal Antenna. zBoost can only
bring signal into your home when signal reaches the Signal Antenna. If there is no signal, the
zBoost will not work for you.
Using your cell phone, fi nd the location in your home that receives the best signal, generally found
at a window. Place a call inside at a window that receives the most bars of signal to confi rm that
enough signal is present to complete the call. If you have energy effi cient windows, the location of
best signal may not be at the window as energy effi cient windows can block signal penetration.
If you can reliably make and receive calls at or near a window, then zBoost can bring the signal into
your home.
If only one signal bar is displayed on your cell phone at your window, indoor coverage will
be limited.
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.
Overview
Thank you for choosing zBoost! You will now be able to use your cell phone INSIDE your home.
Gone are the days when you had to go to the window upstairs or walk outside to use your cell
phone. Like a skylight that brings sunlight into your home, zBoost transports and amplifi es the
outdoor signal into your home.
By following the easy instructions in this User Manual, you will be Extending Cell Zones™ into your
home.
Why Indoor Signals Can Be Weak
There are several obstacles that can contribute to the poor reception you receive in your home:
1. Location of the Cell Phone Tower in Relation to Your Home
While cell phone providers have tried to place cell phone towers to provide the best overall
coverage, local ordinances and terrain features can impose restrictions on where these
towers can be placed, thus, limiting the signal strength available at your location.
2. Obstructions Caused by Buildings, Terrain and Trees
Cell phone signals can be completely blocked or refl ected by buildings, walls, trees, hills
and other terrain features resulting in low signal strength.
3. Energy Effi cient Windows
Energy effi cient windows contain a metal fi lm that can affect signal penetration into the
house.
