Check for Signal Strength

Before placing a zBoost® in your home, make sure that you can place calls near the window or wherever 
you plan to place the Signal Antenna. zBoost® can only bring signal into your home when signal reaches the 
Signal Antenna.

Using your cell phone, place a call near this loca  on to con

fi

 rm that enough signal is present to complete the 

call. 

If you can reliably make and receive calls at that loca  on then zBoost® can bring the signal into your home.  

If only one signal bar is displayed on your cell phone, indoor coverage will be limited to one small room.

 

Preparing to Set Up Your zBoost® Product

Setting Up Your zBoost® Signal Booster

The METRO boosts signal up to 1500 square feet, making it perfect for apartments, condos and lo  s. No 
outside antenna placement is required. 

Boost voice and data transmission and improve call clarity in 4 easy steps:

FIRST:

  

Place the Signal Antenna on the interior of a window located in the area of 

best signal

Determine the loca  on that provides the strongest signal using the signal strength indicator on your cell 
phone. Find the loca  on on the window that provides the most bars of signal strength. Before proceeding, 
make sure that the intended surface is clean and clear of any dust. Then choose the suc  on cup a  achments 
appropriate for your se   ng (short or long), fasten to the Signal Antenna, and secure to your window.

In order to capture the strongest signal, you may do one or all of the following:

1. 

Move the antenna around the window – higher is usually be  er.

2. 

Use the long suc  on cup a  achments provided, in order to create a greater angle in which to 
capture the signal. The suc  ons cups must be ver  cal on the window (as pictured, with cable at the 
bo  om – not on the side). Avoid draping the coax near the antenna.

3. 

Keep the Signal Antenna 2 feet from any metal.
