Confirm That Your zBoost is Working Properly
With everything connected and the Base Unit plugged in, 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 general
installation care. Coverage in adjoining rooms (next to, above, or below) will be reduced due to the
walls or the ceiling/floor.
Improving Your Coverage Area
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
1. Move the Base Unit and/or adjust the angle of the Indoor Antenna.
2. Move the External Antenna to a higher location in the attic or outside.
3. Purchase a External Antenna upgrade at www.zBoost.com.
Note: Using a signal meter or an antenna application on a smartphone is a more accurate way to
measure a stronger signal than the bars on a phone.
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
“Base Unit Light Indicators” on page 11 for more information.
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.
