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.

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

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.
