Preparing to Set Up Your zBoost Product
Tools Needed
The following tools are needed to set up your booster:
•
#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 External Strength
Before placing the unit in your home, make sure that you have reliable signal and fast/reliable data
speeds outside 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 it reaches the External Antenna. If
there is no signal, zBoost will not work for you.
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 have reliable, fast data speeds outside your home, then zBoost can bring the signal into your
home.
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.
