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. -

SOHO Premium ZB645SL 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. -
