Powering up a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster

1. 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.

2. Never point the front of a directional antenna toward the other, inside or outside, antenna.

See Figure 1 below.

3. Ensure that both the outside antenna coax cable and the inside antenna coax cable are

connected to the signal booster and the connections are tight before powering up the

signal booster.

4. Plug the 6-volt power supply into the signal booster input marked “6V DC” (carefully, to

avoid damaging the center pin) and then into a wall outlet.

5. If the signal booster has a red light, or a blinking red light, please see page 4.

6. If you know that only one frequency band (800 or 1900) is available in your coverage area

(or going to be used), reduce the gain control on the frequency band that is NOT in use to

the minimum. This will reduce the power consumption of the signal booster.

7. Using multiple boosters in one installation could cause degraded cell tower operation.

Understanding the Signal Booster Lights and Troubleshooting

1. BLINKING GREEN

If the signal booster is blinking green, the signal booster is operating properly. If you are

happy with the coverage area in your building, then you are done.

2. BLINKING RED

The signal booster is experiencing receiver overload, see troubleshooting tips below.

3. SOLID RED

The signal booster has shut down to prevent an oscillation, see troubleshooting tips below.

If after the initial 15 minutes you are not done with the installation, the signal booster can be

reset and enter installation mode again by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply

from the booster.

Troubleshooting Tips

GREEN

The indicator lights on the signal booster will be a solid green when the unit is powered up

and working properly. (After the 15 minute installation period).

BLINKING RED LIGHT

The signal booster has protection shut off circuits to prevent the disruption of cell towers.

If one or both lights are blinking red, this indicates that the signal from a cell tower is

overloading the booster and the booster has shut down on that frequency.

Reposition the outside antenna away from the cell tower, or turn the gain control knob counter

clockwise to reduce the gain until the light turns green.

If the red light is still blinking with the gain control adjusted all the way counter clockwise,

contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team for assistance: 866-294-1660.

SOLID RED

If the signal booster indicator light is a solid red, this indicates the booster has shut down on

the frequency indicated to prevent an oscillation. First, make sure that all the connections

are tight. Then move the inside and outside antennas farther apart or reduce the gain of the

booster by rotating the gain control, corresponding to the red light, counter clockwise until the

light turns green.

When you are turning down the gain, you are reducing the inside coverage area. If after

turning down the gain, your coverage area is too small, and you want it larger, then move the

inside and outside antennas farther apart until the gain can be raised.

During installation mode the signal booster is resetting itself very quickly to aid the installer.

The Signal Booster is equipped with two indicator lights, one for the 800 MHz band and

the other for the 1900 MHz band. For the first 15 minutes that the booster is plugged in, it

is programed for a test and alignment period. During this time, both lights will do one of the

following 3 things:

Warnings and Recommendations

Warning: The Directional antenna must always be located so the back or side

points to the inside antenna. Never point the front of the Directional

antenna toward the inside antenna – this is to prevent oscillation.

Warning: Connecting the signal booster directly to the cell phone with use of an

adapter will damage the cell phone.

Warning: Connect both the outside and inside antenna cables to the signal booster

before powering up the signal booster.

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

Electronics product may damage your equipment.

Warning: RF Safety: FCC regulations require that any fixed outside antenna used

with this signal booster may not have gain (less cable loss) that exceeds

15 dBi and must be located at least 30 inches from all people. Inside

antennas must not exceed 7 dBi gain (less cable loss) in the 800 MHz

band or 10 dBi gain (less cable loss) in the 1900 MHz band and must be

located at least 8 inches from all people.

Warning: Verify that both the outside antenna and the inside antenna are

connected to the signal booster before powering up the signal booster.

Note: Lightning surge protection is recommended for all in-building installations.

Reasons for Weak Cellular Signals

Anyone who uses a cell phone or cellular data card knows the frustration of not being able

to connect to or maintain a strong cellular signal. When this occurs, it is generally due to

one of two reasons:

1. Location of the Nearest Cell Tower – Cell towers are situated to provide broad

coverage; however, there are many areas in which signal strength may be reduced by

placement of the towers themselves or local government restrictions on the height.

Rural areas generally have fewer cell towers than urban regions.

2. Natural and Man-Made Obstructions – Signal strength can also be negatively affected

by trees, hills, weather, buildings and other obstructions. You may be relatively close

to a cell tower but still unable to make a call. This often occurs in homes, offices and

other buildings in which stucco, concrete or metal walls may block the signal.

Your booster works with two antennas. The inside antenna communicates with your cell

phone and the outside antenna communicates with the cell tower.

The outside antenna receives the outside signal and sends it through the coax cable

to the booster, where it is amplified and transmitted through the inside antenna into the

room. When the inside antenna picks up a signal from your cell phone, the signal booster

amplifies that signal and transmits it through the cable to the outside antenna and back to

the cell tower. Note: The booster will only boost if a signal is available.

Notes:

1. Nominal gain is the maximum gain at any frequency in the passband.

2. Nominal bandwidth is the difference between two frequencies that are adjacent to the passband where the amplification is 20 dB lower than the passband

amplification. One of the frequencies is lower than the passband and the other is higher.

3. 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 signal 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.

4. The maximum power for 2 or more simultaneous signals will be reduced by 6 dB every time the number of signals is doubled.
