Antenna Bracket Assembly
IMPORTANT: Incorrectly mounting the External Antenna to the mounting
bracket (see figure A) will impede performance. Ensure that the External
Antenna is properly positioned in the mounting bracket as pictured.
To mount External Antenna to a pole
: Attach antenna to pole bracket
as pictured. Use U-Bolt to secure bracket to pole and fasten. DO NOT
mount to a metal pole.
To mount External Antenna to a flat surface:
Attach antenna to pole
bracket as pictured. Secure bracket to desired surface using provided
screws. Use of the Saddle and U-Bolt are not necessary for this option.
SECOND: Position Base and Indoor Antenna
NOTE:
The zBoost Xtreme requires at least 15 feet of
vertical
separation
between the External Antenna and the Indoor Antenna. Generally,
increasing this distance (up to 40 feet) will increase the performance and
decreasing the distance will limit zBoost performance.
The Base Unit can be easily mounted on a wall by first removing the bracket from the Base Unit
and using the provided mounting hardware to affix to wall. Connect the Indoor Antenna to the 15
feet of RG-6. Then, using the TNC-F Adaptor, connect
the RG-6 to the Base Unit.
The Indoor Antenna should be mounted on a wall
facing the direction where increased coverage is
desired (See illustration below). Note that signal is
broadcast in a beamwidth of 70° horizontally and 60°
vertically from the front of the Indoor Antenna. Keep
the Indoor Antenna off floor and at least 3 feet away
from other cords, metal objects or other wireless
devices such as wireless routers or wireless access
points. The zBoost Xtreme performs best when there
are no obstructions between the Indoor Antenna and
your mobile device.
Note
: The FCC requires that the panel antenna has
a minimum horizontal separation of 6 feet (2 meters)
from other CMRS (commercial mobile radio service)
devices.
