® Overview Thank you for choosing zBoost! You will now be able to use your cell phone INSIDE your home. Gone are the days when you had to go to the window upstairs or walk outside to use your cell phone.
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.
PRO 7500 ZBC745SL-CM Manual ® Before installing, please note the following important factors in determining your zBoost performance: • At least 15 vertical feet is needed between the External Antenna (receives the outside signal) and the Indoor Antenna (rebroadcasts the signal indoors). Separation less than 15 vertical feet will result in decreased performance.
(not provided). Outdoor J-pole Antenna Mounting Bracket, YX014 is available at www.zBoost.com. Loosely connect the antenna to the mast to allow the antenna to be reoriented for strongest signal. Take special care in aiming the External Antenna in the direction of best signal.
THIRD: Run the Coaxial Cable NOTE: Refrain from securing cable or drilling holes until the system has been tested. The zBoost PRO 7500 ZBC745SL-CM includes 2 coax cables, 50 ft. for External Antenna and 15 ft. for Indoor Antenna. Connect one end of the 50 ft. 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.
You may wish to use a YX699 RF signal meter to help during this process or try our zBoost Signal Finder Android App. The majority of the time a cell tower will hold more than 1 frequency band and/or service provider.

Does the zBoost work if you have no bars? No, if no signal is present outdoors zBoost products will not work for you. Also, keep in mind if your best signal is 1 bar at the External Antenna, your coverage will be limited to one or two rooms. You could improve that with an upgraded antenna.
