    ® Overview Thank you for choosing zBoost! You will now be able to use your cell phone INSIDE your home.

  • Page 10: Preparing To Set Up Your Zboost Product

    If a weak signal is available at ground level, check the signal strength in your attic or at roof level location where the signal will likely be stronger and where the External Antenna can be placed for best performance. If you have reliable, fast data speeds outside your home, then zBoost can bring the signal into your home. If only one signal bar is displayed on your cell phone outside, indoor coverage will be limited to one small room.
  • Page 11: Important: Before Installing, Note These Important Factors In Determining Performance

    TRIO Xtreme ZB575X Manual ® IMPORTANT: Before Installing, Note These Important Factors in Determining 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: Grounding The External Antenna

    The power supply consumes less than 10W (less than 0.2A).For more information on power consumption, see “Technical Specifications” on page 12. Warning The zBoost TRIO Xtreme base unit MUST only be used with the provided power adaptor. Use of other power adaptors will void the warranty and may damage the...
  • Page 13: Setting Up Your Zboost Signal Booster

    Base Unit in desired location – where you want to create a Cell Zone™ For the widest possible signal area, it is recommended that you position the Base Unit near the middle of a room. The Base Unit can be placed on a flat surface (e.g., a bookshelf, desk, end table, etc.) and performs best when located at least 4 feet above the floor or approximately the height of a cell phone when it is typically in use (avoid placing the Base Unit on the floor). Keep the Base Unit at least 2 feet away from other cords, metal objects or other wireless devices such as wireless routers or wireless access points. The zBoost TRIO performs best when there are...
  • Page 14: Third: Connect The Coax Cables Via The Provided Window Entry Cable

    Note: The Base Unit can be easily mounted on a wall by first removing the Silver bracket from the Base Unit (see “zBoost Base Unit Assembly” above) and using 2 mounting screws to affix to wall - keeping the antenna vertical. Remember, the zBoost TRIO requires at least 15 feet of vertical separation between the Base Unit and the External Antenna. Generally, increasing this distance (up to 40 feet) will increase the performance and decreasing the distance will limit zBoost performance. THIRD: Connect the coax cables via the provided window entry cable NOTE: Refrain from securing cable or drilling holes until the system has been tested.

  • Page 16: Fifth: Antenna Aiming

    FIFTH: Antenna Aiming To get the maximum benefit, you will want to take special care to make sure you point the antenna in the direction of the best signal for your wireless service provider. 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. To aim the antenna for maximum signal, you will need a phone operating on the same wireless network(s) in use at the install location.
  • Page 17: Improving Your Coverage Area

    • Relocate the External Antenna in order to capture a better signal –higher is usually better. • Increase the distance between the Indoor Antenna and the External Antenna. • Purchase an upgrade antenna available at www.zBoost.com NOTE: The zBoost ZB575X requires at least 15 feet of vertical separation between the Base Unit and the External Antenna. Generally, increasing this distance (up to 40 feet) will increase the performance and decreasing the distance will limit zBoost performance. Note Cell phone signal bars are approximate and vary from phone to phone. The number of bars can fluctuate widely, depending on the location of the phone, the position or angle of the phone, weather, etc.

    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 a small room. You could improve that with an upgraded antenna (See page v).
