How it Works
Your new Wilson SOHO Wireless Dual-Band Amplifier has been carefully engineered to
enhance the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in small office/home
office applications. Its advanced technology is designed to significantly improve voice and
data signal quality and reduce disconnects and drop-outs. The amplifier works with two
antennas (sold separately): one communicates with the cell site (the outside antenna) and
the other communicates with your cell phone or laptop data card (the inside antenna).
The outside antenna will collect the outside signal and send it through a cable to the
amplifier. The signal is then boosted and sent through a cable to the inside antenna,
which communicates with your cell phone or data card. When the cell phone or data card
transmits, the inside antenna picks up the signal and sends it to the amplifier where it is
boosted and sent through the outside antenna to the cell site.
Wilson Electronics manufactures a wide variety of antennas and accessories to help you
customize your SOHO Wireless Dual-Band Amplifier for your specific application (see
page 2). Contact your dealer or visit www.wilsonelectronics.com.
Before Getting Started
This guide will help you properly install Wilson’s SOHO Wireless Dual-Band Amplifier. It is
important to read through all of the installation steps for your particular application
prior to installing any equipment. Read through the instructions, visualize where
all the equipment will need to be installed and do a soft installation before mounting
any equipment. If you do not understand the instructions in full, please contact Wilson
Technical Support at 866-294-1660.
Installation Overview
The following steps provide a summary of the amplifier/installation process using a Yagi
antenna as the outside antenna and a panel antenna as the inside antenna. However,
they are not a substitute for the complete installation instructions on the following pages,
which you should read thoroughly. Be sure to read and follow the instructions that come
with your specific antennas.
STEP 1 Install the Outside Antenna
Mount the Yagi antenna to a fixed location (such as a pole) on the roof of your building. Be
sure it is pointing toward the nearest cell tower and away from where you plan to install the
inside antenna. IMPORTANT: The outside antenna must have a separation of at least
48 inches (122 centimeters) from all persons during normal operation.
STEP 2 Install the Inside Antenna
Attach the panel antenna as close as possible to the center of the area where the signal
needs to be amplified. Ensure there is a minimum separation of 20 feet between the
outside and inside antennas. IMPORTANT: The inside antenna must have a separation
of at least 8 inches (20 centimeters) from all persons during normal operation.
STEP 3 Install the Amplifier
Position the amplifier in a well-ventilated location near a power outlet. Attach the antennas
to the amplifier using 50-ohm or equivalent coax cable (available in different lengths from
Wilson Electronics).
STEP 4 Power up the Amplifier
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 20 feet (6 meters) of the inside antenna are turned off. Plug the supplied 6-volt
power supply into the amplifier and then into a wall outlet.
Installing the Outside Antenna
The antenna that communicates with the cell site should be mounted on the outside of the
building—this is the preferred location and will give the best performance. Alternatively,
locating this antenna inside the building near a window will also work under certain
conditions. IMPORTANT: The outside antenna must have a separation of at least 48
inches (122 centimeters) from all persons during normal operation.
Outdoor Installation
For best results, use a Wilson Yagi antenna that is compatible with the frequency of your
cellular service provider. A dual-band trucker antenna will also work. Mount the antenna as
high as possible on your building for optimum signal reception and transmission.
Follow the specific installation instructions included with the outside antenna. Lightning
protection is recommended for all outdoor antenna installations. Take extreme care to
ensure neither you nor the antenna come in contact with any electrical power lines. Ensure
there are three feet of clearance in all directions surrounding the antenna.

If you choose to install the outside antenna
indoors, select a location near a window or
glass door where you have the strongest
existing cell signal. (See the illustration on
page 5.) Follow the specific installation
instructions included with the antenna.
Installing the Inside Antenna
The antenna that communicates with your cell phone or cellular data card should
be installed in the center of where the signal needs to be amplified. Wilson’s
magnet-mount, mini magnet-mount, dome and panel antennas will work well with
the SOHO Wireless Amplifier.

In the above illustration, Wilson mini magnet-mount antennas are being used
for both the outside antenna (on the window) and the inside antenna (on the
desk). Follow the specific instructions included with the antennas for your specific
application.
Warning: The inside antenna
must have a separation distance from
all persons that is at least 8 inches (20
centimeters).
Warning: Connecting the amplifier
directly to the cell phone with use of an
adapter will damage the cell phone.
Installing the Amplifier
Select a location to install the amplifier that is away from excessive heat, direct
sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the amplifier in
an air-tight enclosure.
Recommended installation locations are:
• On a desk or table top
• In a bookshelf
• On the floor
In the illustration below, a Wilson Yagi antenna is being used as the outside
antenna, and a Wilson dome antenna is being used as the inside antenna.

Run the outside antenna cable to the amplifier and attach it to the FME-male
connector labeled “outside antenna” on the amplifier. Run the inside antenna
cable to the amplifier and attach it to the FME-male connector labeled “inside
antenna” on the amplifier.
Note: Be careful when plugging the connectors in so as not to damage the
center pin.
Connect the outside antenna to the amplifier with 50-ohm or equivalent coax
cable (available in different lengths from Wilson Electronics). Place the inside
antenna in the center of the area needing the amplified signal. It is important to
have at least 20 feet (6.1 meters) of separation between the inside and outside
antennas. Closer spacing may result in oscillation, which will cause the amplifier
to automatically reduce its gain.
Powering up a Wilson Amplifier
1. IMPORTANT! Ensure that all cell phones and cellular data cards within 20 feet
(6.1 meters) of the inside antenna are turned off.
2. To verify proper installation of the amplifier and antennas, make sure that the
distance between the inside and outside antennas is a minimum of 20 feet (6.1
meters).
3. If you are using an Yagi antenna as a outside antenna, never point the front of
the Yagi toward the inside antenna.
4. Ensure that both the outside antenna coax cable and the inside antenna coax
cable are connected to the amplifier before powering up the amplifier.
5. Plug the power supply into the amplifier input marked “power” (carefully, to
avoid damaging the center pin) and then into a wall outlet.
Warning: Use only the power
supply provided in this package.
Use of a non-Wilson product may
damage your equipment.
Warning: Verify that both the
outside antenna and the inside
antenna are connected to the amplifier
before powering up the amplifier.
NOTE: The aluminum casing of a Wilson amplifier 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 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees
Celsius), the amplifier temperature may be higher. The casing will be hot to
the touch. Such high temperatures will not damage the amplifier, nor do they
pose a fire risk. As recommended in these instructions, install the amplifier in a
location with adequate ventilation. Keep the area free of items that could block
air flow to the amplifier.
Understanding the Amplifier Lights
The power light PWR will turn green
when the amplifier is successfully
powered up. When the 800 MHz or
1900 MHz lights are lit green, the
amplifier is amplifying the outside
signal.
If one or both frequency lights turn
red, oscillation is occurring and the
amplifier has powered down. The
outside antenna needs to be moved
farther from the inside antenna. 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
amplifier and reinstall power. This
resets the amplifier.
If the lights are now green, the
oscillation has stopped and the
amplifier is working. If the red light is
still on, move the antenna farther away
and repeat the process.
Always use a magnet-mount or roofmount antenna. Do not use a glassmount antenna, as oscillation may
cause continuous shut-down of the
amplifier.
An amber light in either the 800
MHz or 1900 MHz position indicates
overload from the cell site. The
amplifier has temporarily shut down
and will automatically reset.
Warnings and Recommendations
Warning:
A Yagi antenna must always be located so the back or side points
to the inside antenna. Never point the front of the Yagi antenna
toward the inside antenna – oscillation will result, causing amber
light and gain reduction.
Warning:
Connecting the amplifier 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
amplifier before powering up the amplifier.
Warning:
Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a
non-Wilson product may damage your equipment.
Warning:
The outside antenna must have a separation distance from all
persons that is at least 48 inches (122 centimeters). The inside
antenna must have a separation distance from all persons that is
at least 8 inches (20 centimeters).
Lightning protection is recommended for all in-building installations using an
outside antenna.

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 for each doubling of the number of signals.
