To run the coax cable through a wall:
Connect the two provided RG-6 cables. Then connect one
end of the cable to the base of the External Antenna. Run the coaxial cable along a descending
pipe or through a wall that leads closest to the location of the Base Unit. Connect the remaining end
of the cable to the Base Unit.
Should you need additional cable length, 15 foot extensions (Part #: YX030-15w) are available at
www.zBoost.com. Please note: Cable longer than 65 feet is not recommended.
FOURTH: Connect zBoost Base Unit to Power
Connect the zBoost Base Unit to the power supply and plug into a power outlet. When your zBoost
system is in place and fully connected, walk throughout your home and verify that you are able to
reliably place calls. If the signal strength has improved, your zBoost is working.
Upon initial power up, the LED will cycle RED, GREEN and ORANGE for 30 seconds. After 30
seconds, a series of GREEN flashes 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 find
the increased signal coverage is acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed. See
"zBoost Base Unit Light Indicators" on page 9) for more information.
Confirm 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 (next to, above, or below) will be reduced due to walls or
ceiling/floors.
