THIRD: Run the Coaxial Cable
NOTE: Refrain from securing cable or drilling holes until the system has been tested.
The zBoost Xtreme comes with 2 coax cables (35 ft. and 15 ft.) and a window-entry cable to
connect the External Antenna and the Base Unit. If you do not plan to run the cable through a
window, the window entry cable is not needed.
To run the coax cable through a window:
Connect the two provided RG-6 cables (35 feet & 15
feet) using the provided window-entry cable. Use the attached cables to connect the Base Unit and
External Antenna through a window, positioning the window-entry cable at the window closing.
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.
