SETTING UP YOUR zBOOST® SIGNAL BOOSTER

The zBoost DataBlast YX550 is designed to provide increased in-building data
coverage, up to 2500 square feet, making it perfect for the home and office. The
zBoost DataBlast supports multiple users and all devices operating on the
Network(s) covered by your model.

• VLTE-AWS: Verizon LTE and AWS

• ALTE-AWS: AT&T LTE and AWS

Before installing, please note the following important factors in determining your zBoost
performance:

• At least 15 vertical feet is needed between the Signal Antenna (receives the
outside signal) and the Base Antenna (rebroadcasts the signal indoors). Separation
less than 15 vertical feet will result in decreased performance.

• Keep the Signal Antenna at least 3 feet above any metal.

Boost data transmission 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.

To maximize signal coverage, place the Signal Antenna where you find the strongest
signal (up high or outside) and at least 3 feet above any metal.

IMPORTANT: Incorrectly mounting the Signal Antenna to the mounting bracket (see
figure A) will impede performance. Ensure that the Signal Antenna is properly
positioned in the mounting bracket as pictured.

To mount antenna to a pole: Attach bottom of antenna to pole bracket as
pictured. Use U-Bolt to secure bracket to pole and fasten.

To mount antenna to a flat surface: Attach bottom of antenna to pole bracket
as pictured. Secure bracket to desired surface using provided screws. Use of
the Saddle and U-Bolt are not necessary for this option.

SECOND: Place the DataBlast Base Unit where you want to create a Data
Zone

TM

. Assemble the Base Unit and Base Unit Antenna and position the antenna

vertically. This Base Unit uses an omni-directional antenna that delivers signal in a
circular pattern around the antenna. Place the Base Unit in desired location – where
you want to create a Cell Zone™ For the widest possible signal area, it is
recommended that you 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.) and
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).

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. The zBoost
DataBlast performs best when there are no obstructions between the zBoost Base
Unit and your mobile device.

Note: To mount it on an interior wall, first remove the silver bracket from the Base
Unit, mount the bracket to a wall with 2 screws (not provided), then placing the Base
Unit back into the bracket keeping the antenna vertical.

The zBoost DataBlast 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 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 #: YX030-15w) are available at www.Wi-Exstore.com. Please note:

*Note: An 8 inch win dow entry cable may be nee ded for this option. It is avail able for purchase at ww w.Wi-Ex.com (Part #: Y X030-08W)

Cable longer than 65 feet is not recommended.

FOURTH: Connect the Base Unit to the provided power supply and plug into a
power outlet. When the system is in place and fully connected, walk throughout your

home or office and verify that you have fast, reliable data speeds. If the signal
strength has improved, your zBoost DataBlast is working. Remember, coverage
varies based on outdoor signal level, building construction, and antenna placement.
Coverage in adjoining rooms will be reduced by walls and building materials.

Upon initial power up, a solid GREEN LED should appear indicating normal
conditions. If a RED light appears, adjustments may be needed to optimize
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 better.

• Increase the distance between the Base Unit and the Signal Antenna.

• Purchase an upgrade antenna available at www.Wi-Ex.com.

Models:

• VLTE-AWS

• ALTE-AWS

Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Wi-Ex could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

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 help

This 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.
Additionally, the device must not be used above 10 m above ground.

Industry Canada Regulations

Canada IC: 5544A-YX550AWSVLT
5544A-YX550AWSALT

This 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. Please refer to the Industry
Canada document CPC 2-1-05, Section 6.1 available or viewable at: http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/smt-gst.nsf/en/sf08942e.html

Cet appareillage numérique de la classe [B] répond à toutes les exigences de l’interférence canadienne causant des règlements d’équipement.
L’opération est sujette aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) ce dispositif peut ne pas causer l’interférence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter
n’importe quelle interférence reçue, y compris l’interférence qui peut causer l’opération peu désirée.

Le fabricant nominale de la puissance de sortie de ce matériel est simple transporteur. Pour les situations lorsque plusieurs signaux porteurs
sont présents, l’évaluation devrait être réduite de 3.5 dB, en particulier lorsque le signal de sortie est ré-émise et peut provoquer des
interférences adjacentes à la bande utilisateurs. Ce pouvoir est de la réduction par le biais de la sortie d’alimentation ou la réduction de gain
et non par un atténuateur à la sortie du dispositif.
