Setting Up Your zBoost Signal Booster
The TRIO CONNECT boosts signal for your desktop and surrounding area, making it perfect for
apartments, condos and lofts. No outside antenna placement is required.
Boost voice and data transmission and improve call clarity in 4 easy steps:
FIRST: Place the Signal Antenna on the interior of a window located in the area
of best signal
Determine the location that provides the strongest signal using the signal strength indicator on your
cell phone. Find the location on the window that provides the most bars of signal strength. Before
proceeding, make sure that the intended surface is clean and clear of any dust. Then choose the
suction cup attachments appropriate for your setting (short or long), fasten to the Signal Antenna,
and secure to your window.
Note: Energy-effi cient windows will likely block signal from reaching the Signal Antenna. In this
case, it is necessary to move the Signal Antenna away from this window to another location. You
may also upgrade to an outdoor rated antenna (part # cant-0042) if mounting an antenna outside is
possible.
In order to capture the strongest signal, 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 greater angle in which to
capture the signal. The suctions cups must be vertical on the window (as pictured, with cable
at the bottom – not on the side). Avoid
draping the coax near the antenna.
3. Keep the Signal Antenna 2 feet from any
metal.
SECOND: Place the zBoost Base Unit
where you want to create a Cell Zone
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 Base Unit near the
middle of a room or mount it on an interior
wall. This Base Unit uses an omni-directional
antenna that delivers signal in a circular
pattern around the antenna. The zBoost
TRIO CONNECT does not require vertical
separation; however, the Signal Antenna and
Indoor Antenna should have at least 15 feet of
horizontal separation. Increasing separation of
the 2 antennas will optimize zBoost performance.
For best results, keep the Base Unit off the fl 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
TRIO CONNECT performs best when there are no
obstructions between the zBoost Base Unit and
your mobile device.
THIRD: Run the provided coaxial cable
between the Base Unit and Signal
Antenna
Use the provided RG-6 coaxial cable to connect
the Signal Antenna and the Base Unit. Coaxial
connections can loosen when the cable is moved.
Be sure the connections stay hand-tight.
Should you need additional cable length, 15 foot
extensions (Part #: YX030-15w) are available at
www.zBoost.com.
The total cable length should not exceed 65 feet.
