• 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. See illustration below. • Keep the External Antenna at least 3 feet above any metal. See page 6, Setting Up Your zBoost Signal Booster, for additional information. 15 ft. of Vertical Separation Minimal Performance Best Performance (Recommended) Antenna Bracket Assembly IMPORTANT: Incorrectly mounting the External Antenna to the mounting bracket will impede performance. -
