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 the Base Unit
Connect the Indoor Antenna to the Base Unit and place it where you need
signal. For the widest possible signal area, position the Base Unit near the
middle of a room. You may also mount it on an interior wall by first removing
the bracket, screwing the bracket to a wall (screws not included), then snapping the Base Unit
back in place keeping the Indoor Antenna vertical. The Base Unit uses an omni-directional Indoor
Antenna that delivers signal in a circular pattern around the antenna.
The zBoost Max requires at least 15 feet of vertical separation between the Base Unit and the
External Antenna. Generally, increasing this distance (up to 40 feet) will increase the performance
and decreasing the distance will limit the performance.
Keep the Base Unit off the floor and at least 2 feet away from other cords, metal objects or other
wireless devices such as wireless routers or wireless access points. zBoost performs best when
there are no obstructions between the zBoost Base Unit and your mobile device.
THIRD: Run the Coaxial Cable
NOTE: Refrain from securing cable or drilling holes until the system has been tested.
The zBoost Max comes with 2 coax cables (35 ft. and 15 ft.) and a window-entry cable. 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.
