zBoost z-Force® YX240 InstallaƟon Overview Download Product Manual at www.Wi-Ex.com Need a Signal Boost in Your Home or Office? See the full line of zBoost Signal Boosters at www.Wi-Ex.com Designed for consumers, the Wi-Ex® cell phone signal booster, z-Force, extends an in-vehicle Cell Zone. The dual band unit captures the signal outside of your car and amplifies it on the inside for a stronger “hands-free” signal. The unit incorporates a cradle and works with both 1900 MHz and 800 MHz phones – (not Nextel/iDEN, 4G or 2100 MHz). InstallaƟon is easy - this package includes everything you need. Package Contents ① zBoost Amplifier Cradle and MounƟng Adhesive ② Exterior MagneƟc Mount Antenna with 10 Ō Cable ③ 12v DC CigareƩe Power Adapter with 3 Ō Cable - OR - ④ Gooseneck Adapter Note: If your z-Force product includes the opƟonal Gooseneck Adapter (④), begin your installaƟon on Step 2. Otherwise, with the standard CLA (③), begin on Step 1. To purchase the Gooseneck Adapter, visit www.Wi-Ex.com. WARNING! Use only the provided power adapter. The use of any other power adapter or cable will harm the system and void your warranty. Before installing, please read the enƟre contents. InstallaƟon Step 1. PosiƟon zBoost Amplifier Cradle - Choose the locaƟon within your vehicle to mount the zBoost Cradle. Choose a locaƟon with a flat surface where Velcro can be applied. Avoid placing behind any metallic objects. Do not make contact with any metal surface. PosiƟon Amplifier Unit within 3 feet reach of power source. Clean the area where the mounƟng adhesive will be applied. Allow to dry. Peel backing to expose the adhesive and press onto the desired locaƟon. Remove the backing from the remaining side and press the zBoost Cradle into place. Step 2. PosiƟon Exterior MagneƟc Mount Antenna - PosiƟon Exterior MagneƟc Mount Antenna on roof of vehicle, making sure magnet is secured to metal surface. Thread the cable from exterior to the interior of the vehicle. Connect the cable connector to the Amplifier Cradle Unit. NOTE: The cord running from exterior to interior of vehicle is designed to withstand pressure when closed in door. Step 3. Connect DC Power - Connect DC Power Adapter to the zBoost Cradle using the provided cable or, if you are using a Gooseneck Adapter, by snapping the back of the cradle onto the Gooseneck. Then connect to power source within vehicle. NOTE: The leŌ side of the z-Force Cradle features a USB power connecƟon so that you can charge your cell phone while using this product. Step 4. Examine Amplifier LED - The lighted area on the zBoost Amplifier Cradle indicates the condiƟon of the system. Review LED Indicator secƟon below. NOTE: This product uses an auto-shut-off feature. When no movement is detected for 10 minutes, the unit will power down automaƟcally to avoid draining your vehicle’s baƩery and will display a slow blinking green LED. Step 5. Quick System Check - Place your cell phone in the zBoost Cradle. Check signal strength bars. Next, turn the system off (unplug unit). You should noƟce a decrease in signal bar strength. The excepƟon is if you are in an area where, with the system off, your phone is at full signal strength. Please note when you turn the system on, if your phone is receiving maximum signal strength you will not see a difference. In order for this quick test to work, you will need to test unit in a less than maximum signal strength area. © 2011 Wi-Ex, Inc. Wi-Ex.com | One Meca Way, Norcross, GA 30093 | 1-800-871-1612 DMAN-0046 Rev A FCC ID: SO4YX240-PCS-CEL IC: 5544A-YX240PCSCEL LED Status CondiƟon Solid Green Normal operaƟon Slow Blinking System has powered down aŌer sensing no Green movement for 10 minutes. Once movement resumes, system will power up. Blinking Red System is experiencing Interference. This is caused by inadequate distance between the Cradle and Exterior Antenna. Resolve by moving Exterior Antenna further back on the vehicle. Solid Red Indicates issue with power adapter. One possible cause is a loose power connecƟon. Verify that the adapter is properly secured in the socket. Another possible cause is the use of an incompaƟble power adapter. Use only the provided adapter and/or cable or risk harm to your zForce system. If you are using the adapter provided with your zForce system, please contact customer service for a replacement.
