Check for Signal Strength Before placing a zBoost in your home, make sure that you can place calls on the outside of 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 signal reaches the External Antenna. -

You could improve that with an upgraded antenna. - Page 21 Where is the best place to put my zBoost External Antenna? The zBoost signal antenna should be placed at the highest point in your house in order to “catch” the strongest signal. This location could be in the attic or on the roof. The placement of the External Antenna is very important.
