SETUP OVERVIEW zBoost ® TRIOCONNECT ZB570DMAN-0081 Rev ASETTING UP YOUR zBOOST® SIGNAL BOOSTERThe TRIO CONNECT boosts signal for your indoor workspace. No outsideantenna placement is required. Boost 3G and 4G and improve call clarity in 4 easysteps:STEP 1: Place the Signal Antenna on the interior of a window located in thearea of best signal. Determine the location that provides the strongest signalusing the signal strength indicator on your cell phone. Find the location on thewindow that provides the most bars of signal strength. Before proceeding, makesure that the intended surface is clean and clear of any dust. Then choose thesuction cup attachments appropriate for your setting (short or long), fasten to theSignal Antenna, and secure to your window. In order to capture the strongestsignal, you may do one or all of the following:1. Move the antenna around the window – higher is usually better.2. Use the long suction cup attachments provided, in order to create a greaterangle in which to capture the signal. The antenna must be vertical on thewindow (as pictured in the illustration to the right, with cable at the bottom – noton the side). Avoid draping the coax near the antenna.3. Keep the Signal Antenna 2 feet from any metal.Please note: Energy-efficient windows will likely block signal from reaching theSignal Antenna. In this case, it is necessary to move the Signal Antenna awayfrom this window to another location. You may also upgrade to an outdoor ratedantenna (part # cant-0042) if mounting an antenna outside is possible.STEP 2: Place the zBoost Base Unit where you want to create a Cell Zone TM.Connect the Indoor Antenna to the Base Unit and place it where you need signal.For the widest possible signal area, it is recommended that you position the BaseUnit near the middle of a room or mount it on an interior wall by first removing thesilver bracket, screwing the bracket to a wall (screws not included), then snappingthe Base Unit back in place keeping the Indoor Antenna vertical. This Base Unituses an omni-directional antenna that delivers signal in a circular pattern aroundthe antenna.The zBoost TRIO CONNECT does not require vertical antenna separation;however, the Signal Antenna and Indoor Antenna should have at least 15 feet ofhorizontal separation. Decreasing this distance will decrease the performance andgenerally, increasing the distance (up to 40 feet), will produce greater coverage.For best results, keep the Base Unit off the floor and at least 2 feet away from othercords, metal objects or other wireless devices such as wireless routers or wirelessaccess points. zBoost performs best when there are no obstructions between thezBoost Base Unit and your mobile device.STEP 3: Run the provided coaxial cablebetween the Base Unit and SignalAntenna. Use the provided RG-6 coaxialcable to connect the Signal Antenna andthe Base Unit. Connections can loosenwhen the cable is moved so be sure theconnections stay hand-tight.STEP 4: Connect the zBoost Base Unitto the provided power supply and pluginto a power outlet. Upon initial powerup, the LED will cycle RED, GREENand ORANGE for 30 seconds. After,a series of GREEN flashes willindicate the quality of your setup.Following this, a solid GREEN lightindicates normal conditions. If it is notsolid GREEN, follow the instructions in the BaseUnit LED Indicators section. If you find theincreased signal coverage is acceptable,however, no additional adjustments are needed.See LED Indicator section for more information.When your zBoost system is in place and fullyconnected, walk throughout the room and verifythat you are able to reliably place calls.Remember, coverage varies based on outdoorsignal level, building construction, and antennaplacement. Coverage in adjoining rooms will bereduced by walls and ceiling/floors.PACKAGE CONTENTSzBoost Base UnitIndoor AntennaCoax Cable RG-6, 50 ft.SETUP OVERVIEWSetup OverviewPower SupplyLong Suction CupAttachmentsShort Suction CupAttachmentsSignalAntennazBoost Base UnitPower SupplySuction CupAttachmentsIndoorAntennaCoaxial CableSignal Antenna15 ft.separationBASE UNIT LED INDICATORSDownload the ZB570 Manual at www.zBoost.comDuring Initial Power UpLightMode Status SolutionCycleRED,GREEN,ORANGESystem ispoweringup.
