Preparing to Set Up Your zBoost Product
Tools Needed
The following tools are needed to set up zBoost:
•
#2 Phillips screwdriver
•
Cellular phone operating in the band supported by your zBoost unit
•
Drill (may be required for outdoor or attic antenna placement)
Check for Signal Strength
Before placing a zBoost in your home, make sure that you can place calls on the outside of your
home, in the attic, at roof level or wherever you plan to place the External Antenna. zBoost can only
bring signal into your home when signal reaches the External Antenna. If there is no signal, zBoost
will not work for you.
Using your cell phone, place a call from an outdoor location to confirm that enough signal is present
to complete the call. If a weak signal is available at ground level, check the signal strength in your
attic or at roof level location where the signal will likely be stronger and where the External Antenna
can be placed for best performance.
If you can reliably make and receive calls outside your home, then zBoost can bring the signal into
your home.
If only one signal bar is displayed on your cell phone outside, indoor coverage will be
limited to one small room.
We recommend placing the External Antenna outside and/or
purchasing a zBoost upgrade External Antenna for increased coverage (see page v).
Note
Cell phone signal bars are approximate and vary from
phone to phone. The number of bars can fluctuate
widely, depending on the location of the phone, the
position or angle of the phone, weather, etc. Most cell
phone signal meters update every 6 to 10 seconds. An
increase of only one bar typically indicates a 4x to 10x
signal increase.
