How it Works

Wilson Electronics Signal Boosters are small, portable, bi-directional devices that deliver service

levels consistent with what would be expected in areas of high cell network coverage. They

amplify a weak or shadowed signal in mobile, marine and in-building applications.

When using a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster in conjunction with Wilson Electronics

antennas, the Outside Antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the

cable to the Signal Booster. The signal is then amplified and transmitted from the Inside

Antenna to the surrounding area. Cell phones and cellular data cards in that area then

communicate with the improved signal. When a cell phone or cellular device transmits, the

signal is received by the Inside Antenna, amplified by the Signal Booster and transmitted

back to the cell tower through the Outside Antenna.

Installation Overview

The following steps provide a summary of the Signal Booster/antenna installation process.

However, they are not a substitute for the complete installation instructions on the following

pages, which you should read thoroughly. Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support

Department with any questions at 866-294-1660.

STEP 1: Install the Outside Antenna

Mount the Yagi antenna so that it points toward the cell tower and away from where the

Inside Antenna will be located. Depending on your Signal Booster model, the two antennas

will need 50-75 feet of separation (see illustrations on pages 5 and 6). Lightning Surge

Protection is recommended for all in-building installations (see page 6).

STEP 2: Install the Inside Antenna

Select a location in the center of where the signal needs to be amplified. Refer to the

instructions included with the Inside Antenna. (See illustration on page 5.)

STEP 3: Install the Signal Booster

Position the Signal Booster in a well-ventilated location near a power outlet. Attach the

Outside and Inside Antennas to the Signal Booster using Wilson 400 low loss cable

(available from Wilson Electronics). See page 6 for more information.

STEP 4: Power up the Signal Booster

IMPORTANT! Before connecting the power supply, ensure that both the Inside and Outside

Antenna cables are connected. Also ensure that all cell phones and cellular data cards

within 50 feet of the Inside Antenna are turned off. Plug in the supplied power supply

into the Signal Booster and then into a AC power strip (power supply sold separately in

801175). See page 7 for more information. Wilson Electronics recommends that all AC

power supplies for home electronics be plugged into a AC Power Strip with at least a 1000

Joule rating.

STEP 5: Check the Signal Booster Lights

The PWR light should be green, indicating that the Signal Booster has power. If all other

lights are also green, the Signal Booster is operating properly; however, if you do not have

the desired signal coverage area, refer to pages 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10.

Note: If you are using an outdoor Yagi Antenna, it must be adjusted for maximum signal.

Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team with any questions at 866-294-1660

or email: [email protected]. Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MST.

Warning: The Outside Antenna must

be installed on an outdoor

permanent structure with a

separation of at least 20 feet

from all persons during

normal operation.

or email: [email protected]. Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MST.

Installing a Wilson Electronics Inside Antenna

Select a suitable location for the Inside Antenna, preferably in the center of where the signal

needs to be amplified. To determine signal strength and coverage distance, refer to page

12 of this installation guide.

Follow the specific antenna installation instructions included with the Inside Antenna.

Wilson Electronics has several Inside Antenna options. The dome and Panel Antennas are

the most popular for in-building applications.

For a square room, a Dome Antenna will provide better coverage. (A)

For a rectangular room, a Panel Antenna will provide better coverage. (B)

In some cases, multiple Inside Antennas may be required (C & D). A signal may be “split”

by using a splitter. If using more than one Inside Antenna, a separation of at least 20 feet is

necessary between Inside Antennas.

Connect the cable from the Signal Booster to the Inside Antenna. For distances of 20 feet or

more, use Wilson 400 low loss cable to prevent significant signal loss.

Installing a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster

Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive heat, direct

sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the Signal Booster in an

air-tight enclosure.

Recommended installation locations for in-building Signal Boosters are:

In a closet, on a shelf and near a power outlet.

Run the Outside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to the connector labeled

“Outside Antenna” on the Signal Booster. Run the Inside Antenna cable to the Signal

Booster and attach it to the connector labeled “Inside Antenna” on the Signal Booster.

Note: Be careful when plugging the connector in so as not to damage the center pins on

the connectors.

Connect the Outside Antenna to the Signal Booster with Wilson 400 low loss cable

(available from Wilson Electronics). Place the Inside Antenna in the center of the area

needing the amplified signal. It is important to have at least 50 feet of separation between

the Inside and Outside Antennas for the 50 dB Signal Boosters, 68 feet of separation

distance for the 60 dB PCS Signal Boosters and at least 75 feet of separation distance for

the 65 dB Signal Boosters.

Powering up a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster

1. IMPORTANT! Ensure that all cell phones and cellular data cards within 50 feet of the

Inside Antenna are turned off.

2. To verify proper installation of the Signal Booster and antennas, make sure that the

distance between the Inside and Outside Antennas is a minimum of 50 feet for the 50 dB

Signal Booster, 68 feet of separation distance for the 60 dB PCS Signal Booster, and 75

feet for the 65 dB cellular Signal Booster.

3. If you are using an outside Yagi Antenna, never point the front of the Yagi toward the

Inside Antenna.

4. Ensure that both the Outside Antenna cable and the Inside Antenna cable are connected

to the Signal Booster before powering up the Signal Booster.

5. Plug the power supply into the Signal Booster input marked “POWER” (carefully, to avoid

damaging the center pin) and then into a AC Power Strip.

NOTE: The aluminum casing of a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster will adjust very

quickly to the ambient temperature of its environment. For example, in the

summer, when the attic of a house can easily exceed 140 degrees Fahrenheit,

the Signal Booster temperature may be 10 or more degrees higher. The casing

will be hot to the touch. Such high temperatures will not damage the Signal

Booster, nor do they pose a fire risk. As recommended in these instructions,

install the Signal Booster in a location with adequate ventilation. Keep the area

free of items that could block air flow to the Signal Booster.

Warning: Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-Wilson

Electronics product may damage your equipment (power supply sold

separately in 801175).

Warning: Verify that both the Outside Antenna and the Inside Antenna are connected

to the Signal Booster before powering up the Signal Booster.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

It is very important to power your Signal Booster using a•

surge protected AC Power Strip with at least a 1000 Joule

rating.

Failure to do this will void your warranty in the• event of a

power surge or lightning strike.

The Signal Booster is equipped with sensitive electronics designed to detect Signal Booster

oscillation or cell phone overload, both of which can hamper Signal Booster performance.

The Signal Booster is designed to automatically reduce gain or, if necessary, shut down

to prevent or compensate for these conditions. Oscillation or overload can be caused by

improper equipment installation -- understanding the Signal Booster lights will help you

identify and solve potential problems.

OSC 40 50 60 When the Signal Booster is initially powered on, the 60 light

will turn green. This indicates the Signal Booster is working at

the proper gain level.

If the 50 light is green, an oscillation has been detected and

the Signal Booster is powering down. Verify that the outside

Yagi Antenna is pointed away from the Inside Antenna and

not across the roof of the building. If need be, redirect the

Yagi Antenna so that it is pointing away from the Inside

Antenna. Then, reset the Signal Booster by disconnecting and

reconnecting the power supply.

If the 40 light is green, the Signal Booster is continuing to

power down. Try operating the cell phone farther away from

the Inside Antenna. If need be, redirect the Yagi Antenna so

that it is pointing away from the Inside Antenna. Then, reset

the Signal Booster by disconnecting and reconnecting the

power supply.

If the OSC light is solid red, the Signal Booster has shut

down to prevent oscillation. Try operating the cell phone

farther away from the Inside Antenna. Verify that the outside

Yagi Antenna is pointed away from the Inside Antenna and

not across the roof of the building. If need be, redirect the

Yagi Antenna so that it is pointing away from the Inside

Antenna. Then, reset the Signal Booster by disconnecting and

reconnecting the power supply.

If the OSC light is blinking red, the Signal Booster has shut

down to prevent a receive overload. Try moving the Outside

Antenna farther away from the cell tower.
