Unplug your system and re-orient the Signal Antenna and/or Base Unit to reduce excessive signal. If LED remains RED after reconnecting power, contact customer support at 1-800-871-1612. SET-UP OVERVIEW zBoost® SOHO YX545DMAN-0038 Rev ASETTING UP YOUR zBOOST® SIGNAL BOOSTERDesigned for consumers, zBoost cell phone signal boosters extend a Cell ZoneTM for multiple users and ALL devices operating on 800 and 1900 MHz frequency bands except those using Nextel/iDEN, 4G or 2100MHz. zBoost boosts signal up to 2500 square feet, making it perfect for your home or office. Boost voice and data transmission and increase call clarity in 4 easy steps:FIRST: Mount the Signal Antenna. Choose a location for the Signal Antenna using your cell phone to determine the area of strongest signal. The coverage your zBoost provides is largely determined by the quality of signal received by the Signal Antenna. Choose one of the following options for placement of the Signal Antenna keeping in mind that if your best signal is one bar, your coverage will be limited to one small room. To maximize signal coverage, place the Signal Antenna where you find the strongest signal (up high or outside) and at least 2 feet away from any metal. Download the YX545 SOHO User Guide at www.Wi-Ex.comBASE UNIT LED INDICATORSSECOND: Place the zBoost Base Unit where you want to create a Cell ZoneTM. Connect the Base Unit 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 SOHO 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. (If 15 feet of separation is not possible, you may try our new METRO model, which was designed for lofts and urban dwellings and requires no vertical separation.)Keep the Base Unit off the floor 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 SOHO 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 50 feet of RG-59(mini) coaxial cable to connect the Signal Antenna and the Base Unit. Should you need additional cable length, 15 foot extensions (Part #: YX30-15w) are available at www.Wi-Ex.com. Please note: Cable longer than 75 feet is not recommended.FOURTH: Connect the zBoost Base Unit to the provided power supply and plug into a power outlet. When your zBoost® system is in place and fully connected, walk throughout your home or office and verify that you are able to reliably place calls. 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 (next to, above, or below) will be reduced by walls and ceiling/floors. Upon initial power up, a solid GREEN LED should appear indicating normal conditions. If a RED light appears, adjustments may be needed to optimize PACKAGE CONTENTSzBoost Base UnitBase Unit AntennaCoax CableRG-59(mini), 50 ftPower Supply Signal AntennaMounting HardwareSignal Antenna(comes in 2 pieces)zBoost Base UnitPower SupplyBase Unit AntennaCoaxial CableSignal Antenna15 ftseparationEasiest Set-upPlace Signal Antenna inside, by a windowBetter PerformancePlace Signal Antennaoutside of window* Best PerformancePlace Signal Antenna on roof or in attic*Note: An 8 inch window entry cable may be needed for this option.It is available for purchase at www.Wi-Ex.com (Part #: YX030-08W)performance. If you find the increased signal coverage is acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed. See LED Indicator section for more information.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.comSETUP OVERVIEWUser Guide available at www.Wi-Ex.comSetup Overview

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for helpThis equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. In accordance with FCC requirements of human exposure to radiofrequency fields, the radiating element (antenna) shall be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm (8in) is maintained from all persons.Industry Canada RegulationsCanada IC: 5544A-YX545-PCS-CELThis Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.RF Exposure:The manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.Please note: This unit has been approved for use in Canada under RSS 131, however, consent for the use of this device to improve cellular or PCS coverage, must be obtained through your cellular or PCS provider, prior to placing the unit in operation.
