Page 10: Preparing To Set Up Your Zboost Product
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. -
Page 11: Additional Cable Requirements
Max ZB545M 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. -
Page 12: Securing Cable With A Drip Loop
The Base Unit can be plugged into a standard 2 or 3 prong 110 VAC receptacle using the Included power supply. The power supply consumes less than 10W (less than 0.2A). Setting Up Your zBoost Signal Booster FIRST: Mount the External Antenna Choosing the best location for the External Antenna provides the best performance and the largest area of improved signal. -
Page 13: Antenna Bracket Assembly
NOTE: Refrain from securing cable or drilling holes until the system has been tested. The zBoost Max comes with 2 coax cables (35 ft. and 15 ft.) and a window-entry cable. If you do not plan to run the cable through a window, the window entry cable is not needed. -

Page 15: Improving Your Coverage Area
Relocate the External Antenna in order to capture a better signal – higher is usually better and outside is better than inside. • Increase the distance between the Indoor Antenna and the External Antenna. • Purchase an upgrade antenna available at www.zBoost.com. -
