Xtreme performs best when there are no obstructions between the zBoost Base Unit and your
mobile device.
STEP 3: Run the provided coaxial cable between the Base Unit and External Antenna.
Connect the two provided RG-6 coax cables (35 ft. & 15 ft.) using the provided window-entry
cable. Use the attached cables to connect the Base Unit and External Antenna through a window,
positioning the window-entry cable at the window closing. See other cable setup options in the
User Manual. Should additional cable length be needed, 15 ft. extensions (Part YX030-15w) are
available. Note: Cable runs longer than 75 ft. are not recommended, unless upgraded to RG-11.
RG-11 can be run up to 120 ft.
STEP 4: Connect the zBoost Base Unit to the provided power supply and plug into a power
outlet.
When your zBoost system is in place and fully connected, walk throughout your home and verify
that you are able to reliably place calls. If the signal strength has improved, your zBoost is
working. Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, building construction, and
antenna placement. Coverage in adjoining rooms will be reduced by walls and ceiling/floors.
Upon initial power up, the LED will cycle RED, GREEN and ORANGE for 30 seconds. After, a
series of GREEN flashes will indicate the quality of your setup. Following this, a solid GREEN
light indicates normal conditions. If it is not solid GREEN, follow the instructions in the Base
Unit LED Indicators section. Adjustments may be needed to optimize performance. If you find
the increased signal coverage is acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed. See
the LED chart on the installation tips page for more information.
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
Relocate the External Antenna in order to capture a better signal –higher is usually better.
Increase the distance between the Base Unit and the External Antenna.
Purchase an upgrade indoor antenna.
