Note:
The Signal light may flash green indicating that a
call is in progress and zBoost is boosting your
signal. In some cases, it may only flash at the
beginning of the call. If the Signal light displays
either a solid or flashing red move your phone
away from the Base Unit and see the
troubleshooting section.
Important Note on Using Signal Bars to Determine Coverage Area
Cell phone signal bars are approximate and very coarse. The number
of bars can fluctuate widely, depending on the exact location of the
phone, hand positioning, 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.
THE BEST INDICATOR OF COVERAGE AREA IS YOUR ABILITY
TO RELIABLY PLACE AND RECEIVE CALLS.
Confirm That Your zBoost is Working Properly
Perform the following steps to confirm that the unit is now working properly:
1) Unplug the Base Unit power cord.
2) Turn on your cell phone and check the signal meter.
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 an improvement, your zBoost unit is working
properly.
Improving Your Coverage Area
With everything connected and the Base Unit plugged in, you should walk
throughout the room and see that you are able to reliably place calls.
Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, building
construction, and general installation care. Coverage in adjoining rooms (next
to, above, or below) will be reduced due to the walls or the ceiling/floor.
Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
1) Move the Base Unit and/or adjust the angle of the Base Unit antenna.
2) Move the Signal Antenna to a higher location in your attic or outside
