Confi rm Th
at Your zBoost® is Working Properly
Perform the following steps to confi rm that the unit is now working properly:
1.
Unplug the Base Unit power cord.
2.
Turn on your cell phone and check the signal meter.
3.
Plug the power cord into the Base Unit.
4.
Hold your cell phone about 5 feet from the Base Unit and then turn it on. Wait up to 1 minute for
the cell phone to register the signal coming from the Base Unit.
5.
If the signal meter shows an improvement, your zBoost unit is working properly.
Improving Your Coverage Area
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, building construction, and general installation
care. Coverage in adjoining rooms (next to, above, or below) will be reduced due to the walls or the ceiling/
fl oor.
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 Signal Antenna to a higher location in the attic or outside.
3.) Purchase a Signal Antenna upgrade at www.Wi-Ex.com.
Note: Using a signal meter or an antenna application on a smart phone is a more accurate way to measure a
stronger signal than the bars on a phone.
Upon initial power up, a solid GREEN LED should appear indicating normal conditions. If a RED light
appears, adjustments may be needed to optimize performance. If you fi nd the increased signal coverage is
acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed. See Light Indicator section for more information
(Page 12).
