5. Continue to rotate the antenna another 90 degrees in the same direction and record the phone
signal bars _________(C).
6. Again, rotate the antenna another 90 degrees in the same direction and again record the
phone signal bars _________(D).
7. If you desire to optimize further, then look for the two highest signal bar readings above and
move the antenna between these two points to find the highest signal bars reading.
8. Look for the highest reading above. Set the antenna to that position and tighten the antenna to
the mast of your choosing. We suggest PVC pipe that is at least 1.5” or J-Pole (part # YX014,
not included).
Confirm That Your zBoost is Working Properly
When your zBoost system is in place and fully connected, walk throughout your home and verify
that you have fast, reliable data speeds. If the signal strength has improved, your zBoost is working.
Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, house construction, and antenna
placement. Coverage in adjoining rooms will be reduced by walls and building materials.
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
•
Relocate the External Antenna in order to capture a better signal –higher is usually better.
•
Increase the distance between the Indoor Antenna and the External Antenna.
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 TRIO Pro performs
best when there are no obstructions between the zBoost Base Unit and your mobile device.
Indoor antenna aiming: Note that signal is broadcast in a beamwidth
of 70° horizontally and 60° vertically from the front of the Indoor
Antenna.
