Installation Options
Vehicle Installation Option
1. Attach the Mounting Bracket to the vehicle’s
dashboard.
• Clean the area where the bracket is to be
mounted with the alcohol wipe included.
Allow the area to dry.
• Peel the backing to expose the adhesive
and press the bracket onto the desired
location on the dashboard. NOTE: Be sure
the tab is positioned vertically.
• Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours
before you attach the zBoost Mobile1 (Step
4).
2. Install the Outside Antenna. Select a location
on top of the car that is:
• Near the center of the vehicle’s roof.
• At least 12 inches from any other antennas.
• Free of obstructions.
• At least 6 inches from any windows
(including sunroofs).
The Outside Antenna must be installed
vertically.
3. Run the Outside Antenna cable into the car.
The cable is strong enough that it may be
shut in most vehicle doors without damaging
the cable. For a cleaner look, carefully pull
down the door seal, run the cable under the
seal, and push the seal back into place. This
method reduces wear on the cable as the
door opens and closes.
4. Attach the zBoost Mobile1 to the Mounting
Bracket. After waiting 24 hours for the
adhesive on the bracket to cure, attach the
zBoost Mobile1 by aligning the rectangular
hole on the back of the zBoost Mobile1 with
the tab on the Mounting Bracket, grasping
the sides of the zBoost Mobile1, and sliding it
downward approximately ¼ inch into place.
The Mounting Bracket is designed to swivel
for more convenient viewing angles. Once
the zBoost Mobile1 is in place, you can
adjust the angle of the bracket by loosening
the knurled nut, applying gentle pressure
to the top or bottom of the zBoost Mobile1,
and then tightening the nut when the desired
angle is achieved.
5. Attach the antenna to the zBoost Mobile1.
Connect the cable from the Outside Antenna
to the antenna connector on the bottom of
the zBoost Mobile1. Do NOT plug in the
power supply (next step) until the Outside
Antenna cable is connected to the zBoost
Mobile1.
Note: The zBoost Mobile1 has a convenient
mini-USB charging port located on
the right side of your booster. This
port allows for charging your phone or
device. zBoost offers several cables for
this purpose
• 859966, mini-USB to mini-USB
• 859979, mini-USB to iPhone (up to 4S)
• 859967, mini-USB to micro-USB
