SECOND: Position the Base Unit

Assemble the Base Unit and Indoor 

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 

Unitcanbeplacedonaflatsurface(e.g.,

a bookshelf, desk, end table, etc.) and 

performs best when located at least 4 

feetabovethefloororapproximatelythe

height of a cell phone when it is typically 

in use (avoid placing the Base Unit on the 

floor).

KeeptheBaseUnitatleast2feetaway

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 no obstructions between the zBoost 

Base Unit and your mobile device.

Unit(see“zBoostBaseUnitAssembly”above)andusing2mountingscrews(notprovided)toaffix

to wall - keeping the antenna vertical. 

Remember, the zBoost TRIO requires 

at least 15 feet of vertical separation 

betweentheBaseUnitandtheExternal

Antenna. Generally, increasing this 

distance (up to 40 feet) will increase 

the performance and decreasing the 

distance will limit zBoost performance.

THIRD: Run the Coaxial Cable

and the Base Unit. Run the cable along 

a descending pipe or through a wall 

that leads closest to the location of the
