To run the coax cable through a wall:

 Connect the two provided RG-6 cables. Then connect one 

end of the 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. 

Should you need additional cable length, 15 foot extensions (Part #: YX030-15w) are available at 

www.zBoost.com. Please note: Cable longer than 65 feet is not recommended. 

FOURTH: Connect zBoost Base Unit to Power

Connect the zBoost Base Unit to the power supply and plug into a power outlet. When your zBoost 

system is in place and fully connected, walk throughout your home and verify that you are able to 

reliably place calls. If the signal strength has improved, your zBoost is working. 

Upon initial power up, the LED will cycle RED, GREEN and ORANGE for 30 seconds.  After 30 

seconds, a series of GREEN flashes will indicate the quality of your setup. Following this, a solid 

GREEN light indicates normal conditions. If it is not solid GREEN, follow the instructions in the 

Base Unit LED Indicators section. Adjustments may be needed to optimize performance. If you find 

the increased signal coverage is acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed. See 

"zBoost Base Unit Light Indicators" on page 9) for more information.

Confirm That Your zBoost is Working Properly

When your zBoost system is in place and fully connected, you should walk throughout the room 

and see that you are able to reliably place calls.

Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, home construction, and antenna 

placement. Coverage in adjoining rooms (next to, above, or below) will be reduced due to walls or 

ceiling/floors.
