Setting Up Your zBoost Signal Booster
FIRST: Mount the External Antenna
Choosing the best location for the External Antenna
provides the best performance and the largest area
of improved signal. Choose a location for the External
Antenna using your cell phone to determine the area
of strongest signal - typically found outside, above the
roofline or in an attic. The antenna must also remain at
least 3 feet from any metal objects such as pipes, metal
siding, A/C unit etc. and at least 15 vertical feet above the
Indoor Antenna.
Identify the best location for attachment of the mounting
bracket – such as an attic cross or main beam. Secure the
mounting bracket at the highest possible point. Position
the mounting bracket such that the External Antenna will
be vertical and attach the External Antenna. See “Antenna
Bracket Assembly” on page 6 for more information.
