ZBOOST® YX520 (INTERNATIONAL) USER GUIDE
Read First Before Setting Up Your zBoost®
Before unpacking the contents, verify that your mobile phone operates on the frequency band
supported by this product.
o
zBoost® YX520i
will enhance your in-building coverage for local provider networks
operating at 900MHz and 1800MHz frequencies.
Caution
: Before beginning installation, you must have enough space to
provide 5 meters of vertical separation between the Signal Aerial and
Base Unit. Less than 5 meters will result in reduced performance.
To verify that your mobile phone will work in conjunction with the model purchased, please
follow these four simple steps:
1)
Unpack the Base Unit, Base Unit Aerial and power supply.
2)
Connect the Base Unit Arial to the Base Unit. Choose the
correct power adaptor for your geographical location and
attach to the power supply. Connect the power supply to the
Base Unit and plug into an outlet. The signal light should be
solid green.
3)
Now bring the unit (Base Unit, Power Supply and Base Unit
Arial) to an area where there is enough signal to place a call
(using an extension cord may be necessary). If the Signal light
stays green while placing a call, you may proceed to the next
step:
Setting up your zBoost® Signal Booster
. If it flashes red,
move your mobile phone further away from the Base Unit and
retry, it may be necessary to disconnect the power for 10
seconds and then reconnect the power.
4) If the Signal light does not stay a solid green, try placing
another call with your mobile phone next to the Base Unit
Aerial. If the Signal light still does stay green, your mobile
phone may be operating on a frequency that is not supported
by this zBoost model. Some carriers, change frequency
depending on location. Email Wi-Ex technical support at
, or call 001.800.871.1612 for further
assistance in identifying your frequency.
