NOTE:
The zBoost
PRO 7500 ZBC745SL-CM 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 zBoost 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. The zBoost performs best when there
are no obstructions between the zBoost Base Unit and your mobile device.
SECOND: Position Base and Indoor Antenna
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 Base Unit
should be a minimum distance of 4-5 feet off from the floor so there is clearance for the Indoor
Antenna extension.
The Indoor Antenna should be mounted on a ceiling where increased coverage is desired. 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 performs best when there
are no obstructions between the Indoor Antenna and your mobile device.
The zBoost PRO 7500 ZBC745SL-CM requires at least 15 feet of vertical separation between the
Indoor Antenna and the External Antenna. Generally, increasing this distance (up to 40 feet) will
increase the performance and decreasing the distance will limit zBoost performance.
Wall Mounting the Base Unit
The Base Unit can also be easily mounted on a wall. The Base Unit should be a minimum distance
of 4-5 feet off from the floor so there is clearance for the Indoor Antenna extension.
Perform the following steps to mount the Base Unit on a wall:
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the Base Unit by slightly spreading the tabs on the
mounting bracket.
2. Fasten the mounting bracket to the wall using the self-tapping wall/ceiling anchors.
3. Snap the Base Unit into the mounting bracket.
THIRD: Run the Coaxial Cable
NOTE: Refrain from securing cable or drilling holes until the system has been tested.
The zBoost PRO 7500 ZBC745SL-CM includes 2 coax cables, 50 ft. for External Antenna and 15 ft.
for Indoor Antenna.
Connect one end of the 50 ft. 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.
Note
Avoid placing the External Antenna near metal such as
wiring, A/C ducts, metal siding, truss plates, etc.
When connecting the cable to the antenna, run the cable
straight down from the antenna. Avoid draping the coax
near the antenna.
