pluginpowersupplytotheampliﬁer

marked“Power”andinsertthelargeend

intoDCpowersocket(thecigarettelighter

outlet.)

Theampliﬁermayremainonallthetime.

However,leavingtheampliﬁeronina

vehiclewhenitisnotrunningcandischarge

thebatteryinadayortwo.

Agoodoptionistopowertheampliﬁer

isturnedonandoffwiththevehicle.

NOTE:ThealuminumcasingofaWilsonampliﬁerwilladjustveryquicklytotheambient

temperatureofitsenvironment.Forexample,inthesummer,whentheinsideofacarcan

reach140degreesFahrenheit,theampliﬁertemperaturemaybe150degreesorhigher.

Thecasingwillbehottothetouch,similartoametaldoorhandleorasteeringwheel.Such

hightemperatureswillnotdamagetheampliﬁer,nordotheyposeaﬁrerisktothevehicle.

Asrecommendedintheseinstructions,installtheampliﬁerinalocationwithadequate

ventilation,suchasundertheseat,inthetrunkorunderthedashboard.Keeptheareafree

UnderstandingtheAmpliﬁerLights

ThepowerlightPWRwillturngreen

whentheampliﬁerissuccessfully

poweredup.Whenthe800MHzor

1900MHzlightsarelitgreen,the

ampliﬁerisamplifyingtheoutside

signal.

Ifoneorbothfrequencylightsturn

red,oscillationisoccurringandthe

ampliﬁerhaspowereddown.The

outsideantennaneedstobemoved

fartherfromtheCradlePlus.Movethe

outsideantennaontheroofofthecar

totherearofthecar,butatleast812

inchesfromtherearorsidewindows.

Removepowerfromtheampliﬁer

andreinstallpowerthisresetsthe

ampliﬁer.

Ifthelightsarenowgreen,the

oscillationhasstoppedandthe

ampliﬁerisworking.Iftheredlightis

stillon,movetheantennafartheraway

andrepeattheprocess.

Alwaysuseamagnetmount,mirror

mountorroofmountantenna.Do

notuseaglassmountantenna,as

oscillationmaycausecontinuousshut

downoftheampliﬁer.

Anamberlightineitherthe800

MHzor1900MHzpositionindicates

overloadfromthecellsite.The

ampliﬁerhastemporarilyshutdown

andwillautomaticallyreset.
