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

direct sunlight, moisture and has proper ventilation. Do not place the Signal

Booster in an air-tight enclosure.

2. Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside Antenna. Use

a cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower (refer to

page 7 & 8). Visit www.WilsonElectronics.com to find test mode function for your

particular cell phone.

3. 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.

For more information on running cable

(refer to page 8). Lightning Surge Protection is recommended for all in-building

installations (refer to page 7).

4. Select a location for the Inside Antenna, preferably in the center of where the

signal needs to be amplified. A minimum separation distance of 20 vertical feet

(within the null zone) or 50 horizontal feet is necessary for proper operation.

If the inside coverage is not sufficient you may need as much as 75 feet of

horizontal separation (refer to installation diagram on pages 3 & 4).

5. Before powering up the Signal Booster, verify that both the Outside Antenna

and the Inside Antenna are connected and check that all connections are tight.

Note: Be careful when plugging the connectors in so as not to bend the center

pins on the connectors

6. The Signal Booster has been packaged with the gain control knobs adjusted

to the highest gain position. If any of the lights are not green, please refer to

pages 11 & 12 for troubleshooting lights.

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 topographic features or by local government restrictions on the

height or placement of the towers themselves. 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, buildings, weather, 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.

The Signal Booster works with multiple antennas. The Inside Antenna

communicates with your cell phone and the Outside Antenna communicates with

the cell tower. The Outside Antenna receives the cell tower signal and sends it

through the cable to the Signal Booster, where it is amplified and re-transmitted

much stronger through the Inside Antenna into the room. When the Inside Antenna

picks up a signal from your cellular device, the Signal Booster amplifies that signal

and transmits it through the cable to the Outside Antenna and back to the cell

tower.

Cell Tower

The antenna should be mounted as shown in the illustration above.The mounting

bracket, included with antenna, is adjustable and will accommodate pipe

diameters from 1.25 inches to 2 inches (pipe sold separately #901117). Mount

the antenna so that there is at least 3 feet of clearance in all directions around it.

Position the antenna so that it has an unobstructed line of sight to the cell tower’s

strongest signal. Make sure the antenna is not pointing across your own roof or

at the Inside Antenna as this will cause the oscillation protection circuitry to shut

down the Signal Booster (refer to page 11).

Selecting a Direction for the Outside Antenna

Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside Antenna. Use a

cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower (see below

for more information). To get the strongest signal possible, it is very important to

set up your Outside Antenna properly. The Inside and the Outside Antenna must

be mounted in such a way that they are able to pick up the best possible cell

signal on the outside of the building and provide the best possible signal on the

inside of the building. Mount the Outside Antenna as high as possible facing the

cell tower in an area with the best possible signal coverage.

Note:

Never point the front of a Directional Antenna toward the Inside Antenna.

See Figures 1 & 2 on page 10.

Warning:

Lightning protection is recommended for all installations

(sold separately #859902-50 Ohm). Take extreme care to ensure

that neither you nor the antenna comes near any electric power

lines.

Installing Lightning Protection

(sold separately #859902-50 Ohm)

Install the Lightning Surge Protector

(LSP) close to the Signal Booster. Attach

the cable from the Outside Antenna to the

surge protector, using a short length of low

loss cable; attach one end to the LSP and

the other to the Outside Antenna connector

on the Signal Booster. Ensure the LSP

is properly grounded (ground wire not

included). Visit www.WilsonElectronics.com

or call 800-204-4104 to purchase.

Finding the Strongest Signal

When installing your Signal Booster’s Outside Antenna, aiming it towards the

best signal source from your service provider is important. The best way of

getting the strongest signal is to have one person on the roof to rotate the

Outside Antenna, which is connected to the Signal Booster. Turning the Outside

Antenna about 45 degrees at a time, while the second person is watching the

signal strength on the phone inside the building. This allows you to read the

Tips for Running Outside Antenna Cable

If you are mounting the Outside Antenna on the roof of your building, we have

found that it is easiest to run your cable underneath the down side of your roof’s

flashing. If you have satellite TV service installed you may be able to follow the

same route as the satellite TV cables that are already running from outside of your

building to the inside.

After routing the cable, we recommend sealing any areas where the cable passes

into the building with cable bushings, silicone or other waterproof sealant to keep

your installation from leaking. If you are mounting the Outside Antenna to the

outside wall of your home or building, the simplest way is to run the cable on the

outside of the wall and attach it to the exterior of your home or office. Then drill

a hole through the wall where you want the cable to appear on the inside of the

building. Before drilling, make sure that there are no electrical outlets, sewer or

water pipes, or electrical wiring in the wall that you are about to drill through as this

could potentially harm you or damage the building.

signal strength from the cell tower. It is preferable to have the phone in the test

mode so the actual signal strength can be read, as bars are not the most accurate.

Go to www.WilsonElectronics.com for help in finding the test mode for your phone.

Always make sure the person inside the building gives the signal time to arrive

and register on the phone (between 10-30 seconds for phone to reset to the signal

reading).

Installing the Inside Antenna

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

needs to be amplified. A minimum separation distance of 20 vertical feet (within

the null zone) or 50 horizontal feet is necessary for proper operation. If the

inside coverage is not sufficient you may need as much as 75 feet of horizontal

separation. Refer to installation diagram on pages 3 & 4.

After drilling the required hole, run the cable through and seal it with cable

bushings, silicone or other waterproof sealant to enclose the hole that you have

created. In some instances, it may be possible to run the cable up into the fascia of

the attic overhang. In this circumstance, the cable will be accessible in the attic for

further routing.

In some cases, multiple Inside Antennas may be required, for instance if you

have multiple rooms with poor signal. A signal is split by using a splitter. Visit

www.WilsonElectronics.com or call 800-204-4104 to purchase additional cable(s)

and antenna(s).

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 near a power outlet and in a closet or on a shelf.

Note: It is important to have adequate air ventilation. Maintain at least 6

inches of clearance from surrounding objects. Be careful when

plugging the connector in so as not to damage the center pins on

the connectors.

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.
