zBOOST ® SOHO YX560P USER GUIDE
Overview
Thank you for choosing zBoost. You will now be able to use your cell phone INSIDE your home or office. Gone are the days when you had to go to the window upstairs or walk outside to use your cell phone. Like a skylight that brings sunlight into your home, zBoost transports and amplifies the outdoor cellular signals into your home or office.
By following the easy instructions in this user guide, you will be Extending Cell Zones™ into your home or office.
Why Indoor Signals Can Be Weak
There are several obstacles that can contribute to the poor reception you receive in your home or office:
1. Location of the Cell Phone Tower in Relation to Your Home/Office
While cell phone providers have tried to place cell phone towers to provide the best overall coverage, local ordinances and terrain features can impose restrictions on where these towers can be placed, thus, limiting the signal strength available at your location.
2.
3.
Obstructions Caused by Buildings, Terrain and Trees
Cell phone signals can be completely blocked or reflected by buildings, walls, trees, hills and other terrain features resulting in low signal strength.
Energy Efficient Windows
These new windows can also affect signal penetration into the house.
zBOOST ® SOHO YX560P USER GUIDE
Preparing to Set Up Your zBoost Product
Check for Signal Strength
Before placing a zBoost in your home, make sure that you can place calls on the outside of your home, in the attic, at roof level or wherever you plan to place the Signal Antenna. zBoost can only bring signal into your home when signal reaches the Signal Antenna. If there is no signal, zBoost will not work for you.
Using your cell phone, place a call from an outdoor location to confirm that enough signal is present to complete the call. If a weak signal is available at ground level, check the signal strength in your attic or at roof level location where the signal will likely be stronger and where the Signal Antenna can be placed for best performance.
If you can reliably make and receive calls outside your home, then zBoost can bring the signal into your home.
If only one signal bar is displayed on your cell phone outside, indoor coverage will be
limited to one small room. We recommend placing the Signal Antenna outside and/or purchasing
a Wi-Ex upgrade Signal Antenna for increased coverage (see page iv).
2
Tools Needed
The following tools are needed to set up zBoost:
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
•
•
Cellular phone operating in the band supported by your zBoost unit
Drill (may be required for outdoor or attic antenna placement)
Note
Cell phone signal bars are approximate and vary from phone to phone. The number of bars can fluctuate widely, depending on the location of the phone, the position or 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.

zBOOST ® SOHO YX560P USER GUIDE
IMPORTANT: Before Installing, Please Note These Important Factors in
Determining Performance
• At least 15 vertical feet is needed between the Signal Antenna (receives the outside signal) and the Base Unit Antenna (rebroadcasts the signal indoors). Separation less than 15 vertical feet will result in decreased performance. See illustration below.
• Keep the Signal Antenna at least 3 feet above any metal.
15’ of vertical separation
Determine the Needed Coverage Area
Identify the location in your home/office where you need signal coverage the most. The zBoost
SOHO YX560P can cover up to 3500 square feet (coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, building construction, and placement of antennas). Walls, ceilings or floors will reduce the coverage area.
4 zBOOST ® SOHO YX560P USER GUIDE
Additional Cable Requirements
If the distance between the Signal Antenna and the Base Unit exceeds 50 feet, extension cables are available on our website or at many home improvement and electronic stores. The included cable is RG-6.
The total cable length should not exceed 65 feet unless upgraded cable and/or upgraded Signal
Antenna (see page iv) is used. A longer cable is helpful only if it allows you to place the Signal
Antenna in a location where you measure stronger signal.
Note
Avoid placing the Signal Antenna near metal such as wiring, A/C ducts, metal siding, truss plates, etc.
When connecting the cable to the antenna, run the cable straight down from the antenna. Avoid draping the coax near the antenna.
Grounding the Signal Antenna
If the Signal Antenna is placed outdoors, it should be properly grounded. (See page iv for a
recommended grounding kit).
The setup must be in accordance with Article 810 of the National Electric Code (NEC). A listed antenna discharge unit must be provided for the lead-in coaxial cable per NEC article 8.10.20 or the shield of the coaxial cable must be permanently and effectively grounded in accordance with NEC article 8.10.21. Please consult a professional installer or electrician for more information.
Exterior Wall
Securing Cable with a Drip Loop
If the Signal Antenna is placed outdoors, create a drip loop with the coaxial cable at the point where the cable enters the building through an outside wall. This can be done by twisting and securing the cable into a loop (no less than 4” across) near the entry point. This will help prevent moisture from gathering at entry point and leaking into the building. Consult a professional installer for more information.
Coax Cable
Power Requirements
The Base Unit can be plugged into a standard 2 or 3 prong 110 VAC receptacle using the included power supply. The power supply consumes less than 10W (less than 0.2A). For more information
on power consumption, see “Technical Specifications” on page 11.
Warning
The zBoost YX560P base unit MUST only be used with the provided power adaptor. Use of other power adaptors will void the warranty and may damage the unit. Use of other equipment is not FCC approved.

zBOOST ® SOHO YX560P USER GUIDE
Setting Up Your zBoost Signal Booster
FIRST: Mount the Signal Antenna
Choosing the best location for the Signal Antenna provides the best performance and the largest area of improved signal. Choose a location for the Signal Antenna using your cell phone to determine the area of strongest signal - typically found outside, above the roofline or in an attic. The antenna must also remain at least 3 feet above any metal objects such as pipes, metal siding, A/C unit etc.
Identify the best location for attachment of the mounting bracket – such as an attic cross or main beam. Secure the mounting bracket at the highest possible point. Position the mounting bracket and attach the Signal Antenna.
To get the maximum benefit, you will want to take special care in pointing the Signal Antenna in the direction of best signal for your wireless service provider. If you are unsure of the direction of your
provider’s closest network tower, see the Antenna Aiming section on page 8 or you may wish to use
a YX699 RF Signal Meter to help during this process. Once you have determined the optimum location and angle, secure the antenna.
SECOND: Position the Base Unit
Connect the Base Unit Antenna to the Base Unit and place it where you need signal. For the widest possible coverage area, position the Base Unit near the middle of a room. The Base Unit can be placed on a flat surface (e.g., a bookshelf, desk, end table, etc.). The Base Unit performs best when located at least 4 feet above the floor or approximately the height of a cell phone when it is typically in use (avoid placing the Base Unit on the floor).This Base Unit uses an omni-directional antenna that delivers signal in a circular pattern around the antenna.
Keep the Base Unit at least 2 feet away from other cords, metal objects or other wireless devices such as wireless routers or wireless access points. zBoost performs best when there are no obstructions between the zBoost Base Unit and your mobile device.
Note: The Base Unit can be easily mounted on a wall by first removing the Silver bracket from
the Base Unit (see “zBoost Base Unit Assembly” on page 7) and using 2 mounting screws (not
zBOOST ® SOHO YX560P USER GUIDE provided) to affix to wall - keeping the antenna vertical.
Remember, the zBoost YX560P 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.
THIRD: Run the coaxial cable between the Base Unit and Signal Antenna
Use the provided 50 feet of RG-6 coaxial cable to connect the Signal Antenna and the Base Unit.
Run the cable along a descending pipe or through a wall that leads closest to the location of the
Base Unit.
To run the cable from exterior to interior through a window, an 8 inch window-entry cable is available for purchase (Part: YX030-08W). Should you need additional cable length, 15 foot extensions (Part: YX030-15W) are available at www.Wi-Ex.com. Please note: the maximum recommended length for RG-6 is 65. For lengths above 65 feet, upgrade to RG-11. Maximum recommended length for RG-11 is 120 feet.
NOTE: Refrain from securing cable or drilling holes until the system has been tested.
FOURTH: Connect the zBoost Base Unit to the power supply and plug into an outlet
Upon initial power up, a solid GREEN LED should appear indicating normal conditions. If a RED light appears, this may be an indication that the antennas are too close together. Adjustments may be needed to optimize performance.

FIFTH: Antenna Aiming
To get the maximum benefit, you will want to take special care to point the antenna in the direction of the best signal for your wireless service provider. If you are able to put your phone in field test mode to view dB readings, results will be more accurate as cell phone “bars” can be misleading.
1. Place your cell phone on a non-metal surface which is 6-8 feet from the Base Unit Antenna.
2. Turn the signal booster on and wait 30 seconds. Note the number of signal bars displayed on your cell phone. For best results, you want your phone to display in the middle of the signal meter range or less so that it can go up as you rotate the Signal Antenna to the optimum direction. If it is reading too high, move the phone farther from the base unit antenna.
3. Record the number of signal bars (or range) ________(A) on your cell phone. Leave the phone in the same place and pointing in the same direction for the following steps.
Note the direction of the antenna starting position_________________________.
4. Rotate the antenna mast 90 degrees and then record the phone signal bars _________(B).
5. Continue to rotate the antenna mast another 90 degrees in the same direction and record the phone signal bars _________(C).
6. Again, rotate the antenna mast another 90 degrees in the same direction and again record the phone signal bars _________(D).
7. Look for the highest reading above. Set the antenna to that position and tighten the antenna hardware.
8. If you desire to optimize further, then look for the two highest signal bar readings above and move the antenna between these two points to find the highest signal bars reading.
9. Once you have determined the highest reading position tighten the antenna bracket hardware.
Confirm That Your zBoost is Working Properly
1. Unplug the Base Unit power cord.
2. Turn off your cell phone.
3. Plug the power cord back 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 improvement, your zBoost unit is working.
Note
Cell phone signal bars are approximate and vary from phone to phone. The number of bars can fluctuate widely, depending on the location of the phone, the position or 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 PRODUCT PERFORMANCE IS THE
ABILITY TO RELIABLY PLACE AND RECEIVE CALLS WHERE
YOU COULD NOT BEFORE.

When your zBoost system is in place and fully connected, walk throughout the home and see that you are able to reliably place calls. If the signal strength and cellular data speeds have improved, your zBoost is working.
Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, building construction, and antenna placement. Coverage in adjoining rooms may be reduced.
Improving Your Coverage Area
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 and the Signal Antenna.
• Purchase an upgrade antenna available at www.Wi-Ex.com
NOTE: The zBoost YX560P 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.
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. zBoost performs best when there are no obstructions between the zBoost Base Unit and your mobile device.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect my cell phone signal range and strength to be inside my home or office?
The closer you are to the base, the stronger the signal. This will vary with different conditions. Some of the conditions that will affect the improved coverage area are signal strength outdoors, the type of building materials in the home, the placement of the unit and the antenna’s proximity to cellular towers.
You can expect that your indoor coverage will be improved. You will be able to make calls where you couldn’t before. The degree of improvement will depend upon many factors. The intent of zBoost® products are to bring outside coverage inside. Just as the signal bars move up and down when outside, the boosted signal will fluctuate in a similar fashion.
Is a cellular phone signal booster the same as a wireless router; will it help my WiFi signal?
The Wi-Ex® unit will not help your WiFi service. This unit is designed to work with wireless PCS and Cellular phones and devices. The WiFi in your home or office operates on a different frequency.
Is your product available for international use?
Yes, we have a product that works on European UMTS/HSPA frequencies. zBoost® ONE YX400-U for devices on the 2100MHz can be used for voice and data overseas.
Why isn’t my cell phone indicating more signal with more bars?
You may not always observe more bars on your signal meter because of the signal spreading out from the antenna. If your phone has a dB meter, 3dB is a significant increase of 2x, 6dB is 4x, and
10dB is 10x. On a four bar phone, one "bar" equals about 10dB.
The increase in signal you will see depends upon:
• The level of signal at the Signal Antenna (outdoor)
•
•
•
The care of the antenna placement (two feet away from metal, adequate antenna separation [15 feet of vertical separation is recommended])
The signal already present inside (related to building losses)
The distance of your phone/device from the Base Unit (signal spreads or diminishes rapidly with distance).
There are usually several cell phones in use at one time in my home, will your product boost all of our signals simultaneously?
This zBoost unit is designed to cover multiple signals simultaneously and will allow multiple users to operate at the same time.
Does the zBoost work if you have no bars?
No, if no signal is present outdoors zBoost products will not work for you. Also, keep in mind if your best signal is 1 bar at the Signal Antenna, your coverage will be limited to a small room. You can
improve that with an upgraded antenna (see page iv).
