Preparing to Set Up Your zBoost Product
Thank you for choosing zBoost. You will now be able to use your cell phone INSIDE your home or
ofce. Gone are the days when you had to go to the window upstairs or walk outside to use your
cell phone. Like a skylight that brings sunlight into your home, zBoost DataBlast transports and
amplies the outdoor 4G data signal into your home or ofce.
By following the easy instructions in this user guide, you will be Extending Cell Zones™ into your
home or ofce.
Why Indoor Signals Can Be Weak
There are several obstacles that can contribute to the poor reception you receive in your home or
ofce:
1. Location of the Cell Phone Tower in Relation to Your Home/Ofce
While cell phone providers have tried to place cell phone towers to provide the best overall
coverage, local ordinances and terrain features can impose restrictions on where these
towers can be placed, thus, limiting the signal strength available at your location.
2. Obstructions Caused by Buildings, Terrain and Trees
Cell phone signals can be completely blocked or reected by buildings, walls, trees, hills
and other terrain features resulting in low signal strength.
3. Energy Efcient Windows
These new windows can also affect signal penetration into the house.
Tools Needed
The following tools are needed to set up zBoost:
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Cellular phone operating in the band supported by your zBoost unit
• Drill (may be required for outdoor or attic antenna placement)
Check for Signal Strength
Before placing a zBoost in your home, make sure that you have fast/reliable data speeds on the
outside of your home, in the attic, at roof level or wherever you plan to place the Signal Antenna.
zBoost can only bring signal into your home when it reaches the Signal Antenna. If there is no
signal, zBoost will not work for you.
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 Signal 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. We recommend placing the Signal Antenna outside and/or purchasing
a Wi-Ex upgrade Signal Antenna for increased coverage (see page iv).
Note
Cell phone signal bars are approximate and vary from
phone to phone. The number of bars can uctuate
widely, depending on the location of the phone, the
position or angle of the phone, weather, etc. Most cell
phone signal meters update every 6 to 10 seconds. An
increase of only one bar typically indicates a 4x to 10x
signal increase.

Additional Cable Requirements
If the distance between the Signal Antenna and the Base Unit exceeds 50 feet, extension cables
are available on our website or at many home improvement and electronic stores. The included
cable is RG59-mini. For better performance, you may replace it with RG-6 cable for satellite TV.
The total cable length should not exceed 65 feet unless upgraded cable and/or upgraded Signal
Antenna (see page iv) is used. A longer cable is helpful only if it allows you to place the Signal
Antenna in a location where you measure stronger signal.
Cable Recommended Length
RG-59 mini (provided) Up to 50 feet
RG-6 Up to 65 feet
RG-11 Up to 120 feet
Grounding the Signal Antenna
If the Signal Antenna is placed outdoors, it must be properly grounded. (See page iv for a
recommended grounding kit).
The setup must be in accordance with Article 810 of the National Electric Code (NEC). A listed
antenna discharge unit must be provided for the lead-in coaxial cable per NEC article 8.10.20 or the
shield of the coaxial cable must be permanently and effectively grounded in accordance with NEC
article 8.10.21. Please consult a professional installer or electrician for more information
Securing Cable with a Drip Loop
If the Signal Antenna is placed outdoors,
create a drip loop with the coaxial cable at
the point where the cable enters the building
through an outside wall. This can be done by
twisting and securing the cable into a loop
(no less than 4” across) near the entry point.
This will help prevent moisture from gathering
at entry point and leaking into the building.
Consult a professional installer for more
information.
Power Requirements
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).For more information on
power consumption, see “Technical Specications” on page 11.
Warning
The zBoost SOHO DataBlast base unit MUST only be
used with the provided power adaptor. Use of other
power adaptors will void the warranty and may damage
the unit. Use of other equipment is not FCC approved.

Placement of the Signal Antenna
Choosing the best location for the Signal Antenna
provides the best performance and the largest
area of improved signal. Determine the location
that provides the strongest signal (generally found
on the roof ) using the signal strength indicator on
your cell phone.
In the area of best signal, identify the best
location for attachment of the mounting bracket
– such as an attic cross or main beam and
place the Signal Antenna at or near that location.
Important: Assemble the Signal Antenna
mounting bracket as shown below.
Keep the Signal Antenna at least 3 feet above
any metal such as wiring, A/C ducts, metal siding,
truss plates, etc. When connecting the cable to
the antenna, run the cable straight down from the
antenna. Avoid draping the coax near the antenna.
Antenna Bracket Assembly
IMPORTANT: Incorrectly mounting the Signal
Antenna to the mounting bracket (see gure A) will
impede performance. Ensure that the Signal Antenna
is properly positioned in the mounting bracket as
pictured.
To mount antenna to a pole: Attach bottom of antenna
to pole bracket as pictured. Use U-Bolt to secure bracket
to pole and fasten.
To mount antenna to a at surface: Attach bottom
of antenna to pole bracket as pictured. Secure bracket
to desired surface using provided screws. Use of the
Saddle and U-Bolt are not necessary for this option.
Setting Up Your zBoost Signal Booster Positioning the Base Unit
Assemble the Base Unit and Base
Unit Antenna and position the antenna
vertically. This Base Unit uses an omni-
directional antenna that delivers signal
in a circular pattern around the antenna.
Place the 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 at surface (e.g.,
a bookshelf, desk, end table, etc.) and
performs best when located at least 4
feet above the oor or approximately the
height of a cell phone when it is typically
in use (avoid placing the Base Unit on the
oor).
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 DataBlast performs best when there are no obstructions between the
zBoost Base Unit and your mobile device.
Note: The Base Unit can be easily mounted on a wall by rst removing the Silver bracket from the
Base Unit (see “zBoost Base Unit Assembly” above) and using 2 mounting screws (not provided) to
afx to wall - keeping the antenna vertical.
Remember, the zBoost DataBlast
requires at least 15 feet of vertical
separation between the Base Unit and
the Signal Antenna. Generally, increasing
this distance (up to 40 feet) will increase
the performance and decreasing the
distance will limit zBoost performance.
Running the Coaxial Cable from
the Signal Antenna to the Base
Unit.
Use the provided 50 feet of RG-59 coax
cable to connect the Signal Antenna and
the Base Unit. Run the cable along a
descending pipe or through a wall that
leads closest to the location of the Base
Unit.
To run the cable from exterior to interior through a window, an 8 inch window-entry cable is
available for purchase (Part: YX030-08W). Should you need additional cable length, 15 foot, RG-6
extensions (Part: YX030-15W) are available at www.Wi-Ex.com.
Please note: the maximum recommended length for RG-6 is 65. For lengths above 65 feet, upgrade
to RG-11. Maximum recommended length for RG-11 is 120 feet.
NOTE: Refrain from securing cable or drilling holes until the system has been tested.

Connect the zBoost Base Unit to Power
Connect the zBoost Base Unit to the provided power supply and plug into a power outlet.
Upon initial power up, a solid GREEN light should appear indicating normal conditions. If a RED
light appears, adjustments may be needed to optimize performance. If you nd the increased signal
coverage is acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed. See Base Unit Light
Indicator section (page 10) for more information.
Conrm That Your zBoost is Working Properly
1. Unplug the Base Unit power cord.
2. Turn off your cell phone.
3. Plug the power cord into the Base Unit.
4. Hold your cell phone about 5 feet from the Base Unit and then turn it on. Wait up to 1 minute
for the cell phone to register the signal coming from the Base Unit.
5. If the signal meter shows improvement, your zBoost unit is working properly.
When your zBoost system is in place and fully connected, walk throughout your home or ofce and
verify that you have fast, reliable data speeds. 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 building materials.
Note
Cell phone signal bars are approximate and vary from
phone to phone. The number of bars can uctuate
widely, depending on the location of the phone, the
position or angle of the phone, weather, etc. Most cell
phone signal meters update every 6 to 10 seconds. An
increase of only one bar typically indicates a 4x to 10x
signal increase.
Improving Your Coverage Area
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
• Relocate the Signal Antenna in order to capture a better signal –higher is usually better.
• Increase the distance between the Base Unit Antenna and the Signal Antenna.
• Purchase an upgrade antenna available at www.Wi-Ex.com
NOTE: The zBoost YX550 requires at least 15 feet of vertical separation between the Base
Unit and the Signal Antenna. Generally, increasing this distance (up to 40 feet) will increase the
performance and decreasing the distance will limit zBoost performance.
Keep the Base Unit off the oor and at least 2 feet away from other cords, metal objects or other
wireless devices such as wireless routers or wireless access points. The zBoost DataBlast performs
best when there are no obstructions between the zBoost Base Unit and your mobile device.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect my cell phone signal range and strength to be inside my home or ofce?
The closer you are to the base, the stronger the signal. This will vary with different conditions. Some
of the conditions that will affect the improved data coverage area are signal strength outdoors, the
type of building materials in the home, the placement of the unit and the antenna’s proximity to
cellular towers.
You can expect that your indoor coverage will be improved. You will experience faster, more reliable
data where you didn’t before. The degree of improvement will depend upon many factors. The
intent of zBoost products are to bring outside coverage inside. Just as the signal bars move up and
down when outside, the boosted signal will uctuate in a similar fashion.
Is a cellular phone signal booster the same as a wireless router; will it help my WiFi signal?
The Wi-Ex® unit will not help your WiFi service. The WiFi in your home or ofce operates on a
different frequency.
Why isn’t my cell phone indicating more signal with more bars?
You may not always observe more bars on your signal meter because of the signal spreading out
from the antenna. If your phone has a dB meter, 3dB is a signicant increase of 2x, 6dB is 4x, and
10dB is 10x. On a four bar phone, one "bar" equals about 10dB.
The increase in signal you will see depends upon:
• The level of signal at the Signal Antenna (outdoor)
• The care of the antenna placement (two feet away from metal, adequate antenna
separation [15 vertical feet of separation is recommended])
• The signal already present inside (related to building losses)
• The distance of your phone/device from the Base Unit (signal spreads or diminishes rapidly
with distance.)
There are usually several mobile devices in use at one time in my home, will your product
boost all of our signals simultaneously?
The zBoost SOHO DataBlast is designed to cover multiple signals simultaneously and will allow
multiple users to operate at the same time.
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 Signal Antenna, your coverage will be limited to a small room. You could
improve that with an upgraded antenna (See page iv).
