How it Works
Your new Wilson SIGNALBOOST™ DT ampli er system has been carefully engineered to enhance the
performance of your cell phone or cellular data card. Its advanced technology is designed to signi cantly
improve voice and data signal quality and reduce disconnects and drop-outs.
The SIGNALBOOST™ DT works with two antennas (included). The on-board antenna communicates
with your cell phone or laptop data card, and the cradle antenna communicates with the cell tower. the
cradle antenna is designed for installation inside on a window or outside on a wall or a pole, depending on
your preferred con guration.
The cradle antenna collects the the outside signal and sends it through a cable to the SIGNALBOOST™
DT. The signal is then boosted and sent to the on-board antenna, which communicates with your cell
phone or data card. When the cell phone or data card transmits, the on-board antenna picks up the
signal and sends it to the ampli er where it is boosted and sent through the cradle antenna to the cell
tower.
Note: While the SIGNALBOOST™ DT is designed to give you reliable signal improvement
with the included antennas, Wilson offers a variety of optional antennas and accessories that
enable you to customize your SIGNALBOOST™ DT to your speci c needs.

SIGNALBOOST™ DT Installation Instructions 4
Before Getting Started
This guide will help you properly install Wilsons SIGNALBOOST™ DT. It is recommended that you
read through all of the installation steps and familiarize yourself with the product. Read the
instructions and visualize where you want to place the components before mounting any equipment. If
you do not understand the instructions in full, please contact Wilson Technical Support at 866-294-1660.
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’s 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 and other obstructions. You may be relatively close to a cell tower but still unable to make a
call. This often occurs in homes, of ces and other buildings in which stucco, concrete or metal walls
block the signal.
Whether you’re too far from the nearest cell tower to obtain a usable signal or you’re located in an area or
building where the signal is obstructed, the Wilson SIGNALBOOST™ DT can help you get connected and
stay connected!
How to Check Your Outside Signal Strength
Before you install your SIGNALBOOST™ DT, it is very important that you determine the location of the
best available cellular signal outside your building. This will affect where you place the cradle antenna and
will help you get the best performance from your system.
Your cell phone can help you nd the strongest outside signal, using any or all of the following methods:
1. Place calls from several locations outside your building and note where you get the best reception.
2. Check the bar indicator on your cell phone display and note where the signal appears to be the
strongest. (Note: cell phone bars are only an approximation of signal strength and vary from phone to
phone.)
3. Using the test mode on your cell phone, move around the outside of your building and determine the
location of the strongest signal. (For assistance with the test mode on your particular phone, visit the
Technical Support section of our website: www.wilsonelectronics.com or call our Technical Support
Department at 866-294-1660 or 435-673-5021.)
Once you have determined where the outside signal is strongest, you should plan to install the cradle
antenna in that general area, either inside or outside. (See the following section for alternative
installation options.)
SIGNALBOOST™ DT Installation Instructions

Installation Options - Cradle Antenna
The SIGNALBOOST™ DT comes with all necessary parts for installation of the cradle antenna in three
alternative locations:
• Inside on a window (suction cups or double-sided adhesive strip)
• Outside on a wall (screws, washers and anchors)
• Outside on a pole (bracket, nuts and washers)
The best location for your particular application depends primarily on outside signal strength (see page 4).
For example, if your strongest signal is obtained on the north side of the building and a suitable window
exists in that area, you may want to mount the cradle antenna inside on the glass (see page 6). If you nd
the strongest signal in an area with no window, an outside wall mount may be a better choice (see page
7). Or, if your particular application allows for the installation of the antenna on a roof or balcony to obtain
the strongest signal, mounting the cradle outside on a pole (not included) may be your best option (see
page 8).
IMPORTANT! Depending on your particular installation, the antenna must be positioned in the cradle
correctly. The side with the Wilson label should face in the direction of the cell tower.
Note: The ampli er itself is designed to sit on a desk, table or shelf; however, it may also be mounted on
a wall with the included triangular bracket if you so desire (see page 9).
In all cases, you will want to insure a separation of at least 20 feet between the cradle antenna and the
ampli er. The SIGNALBOOST™ DT comes with 50 feet of low-loss coaxial cable. Additional lengths of
cable and the necessary connectors are available through your Wilson dealer, but keep in mind that using
longer cable will result in some signal loss.

Powering Up the Ampli er
1. Ensure that the distance between the ampli er
and the cell phone or cellular data card does
not exceed 4 feet.
2. Important: Ensure that any other cell phones
and cellular data cards are turned off unless
they are at least twice the distance from the
ampli er than the desired unit.
3. Ensure that the distance between the on-board
antenna and the cradle antenna is a minimum
of 20 feet. If you are using a different antenna
con guration, see the separation guidelines
for your speci c antennas or call Wilsons
Technical Support department at 866-294-1660
or 435-673-5021.
4. Ensure that the coax cable is attached to
the ampli er and the cradle antenna before
powering up the ampli er.
5. Plug the power supply into the ampli er input
marked “Power” (carefully, to avoid damaging
the center pin) and then into a wall outlet.
Understanding the Indicator Light
The indicator light on the top of the ampli er will be
GREEN when the unit is powered up and working
properly.
If the indicator light is AMBER, this indicates that
the cell phone or data card may be too close to
the ampli er and the ampli er has automatically
reduced its gain. Move farther from the ampli er
when making a call so that the light is green.
If the indicator light is RED, the ampli er has
detected oscillation. Increase the separation
between the on-board antenna and the cradle
antenna (or whatever two antennas you may be
using). Remove and reinsert the power cable to
reset the ampli er. If the light remains red,
repeat the antenna separation/power
reset procedure until the light is green.
Warning: Use only the power supply provided in this
package. Use of a non-Wilson product may damage your
equipment.
!
Warning: Verify that the on-board antenna is attached
and that the cable from the cradle antenna is connected before
powering up the ampli er.

cell phone.
Warning: Attach the on-board antenna and connect the cradle antenna before powering up the
ampli er.
Warning: Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-Wilson product may
damage your equipment.
Warning: RF Safety: A minimum separation distance of at least 8 inches must be maintained
between the antennas supplied with this ampli er and all persons. A different antenna
may be used in place of the on-board antenna, provided that its gain does not exceed
15 dBi and it is separated by at least 8 inches form all persons. Antennas outside of
the building may have gains as high as 15 dBi, provided that a separation distance of
at least 30 inches is maintained between the antennas and all persons. Use of antennas
with higher than the above maximum gains and/or closer to people than the speci ed
minimum distance is in violation of FCC regulations for which the offender is fully liable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of improvement in cell phone performance can I expect with the SIGNALBOOST™ DT?
The SIGNALBOOST™ DT’s performance will depend somewhat on the strength of the cellular signal
outside your home or building. However, if you install the SIGNALBOOST™ DT in accordance with the
instructions in this guide, you can expect a signi cant improvement in your ability to use your cell phone
or cellular data card indoors.
Where should I install my SIGNALBOOST™ DT to get the best coverage?
You should install the ampli er in the area where you most need an improved signal. The farther you
are from the ampli er, the less improvement you will experience. It is also important to install the cradle
antenna in a location where you have the strongest outside signal (see page 4). Also keep in mind the
distance between the ampli er and the cradle antenna. You’ll need at least 20 feet of separation to
prevent the start of oscillation, but you’ll probably want to stay within the 50-foot length of the coax cable.
(Additional cable and the necessary connectors are available from your Wilson dealer, but using more
cable will result in some signal loss.)
Instead of placing the ampli er on a desk or table, I’d rather attach it to a wall – will it still work OK?
Yes! Your SIGNALBOOST™ DT comes with a triangular wall bracket that allows you to mount the
ampli er on a wall. Just be sure that the on-board antenna is positioned vertically and not at a right angle
to the wall (see page 9).
What color should the indicator light be showing?
Once the ampli er is powered up, the indicator light should be green during normal operation.
The ampli er indicator light is amber – what does that mean?
An amber light indicates that the ampli er has reduced its gain because the cell phone or data card is too
close to it. Move farther away from the ampli er when making a call or using your data card.
The ampli er light is red – what does that mean?
A red light indicates oscillation between the on-board antenna and the cradle antenna. Increase
the separation between the ampli er and the cradle antenna, then remove and reinsert the power
cable to reset the ampli er. If the light remains red, repeat this procedure until the light is green.

SIGNALBOOST™ DT Installation Instructions 12
I have a Nextel phone – will the SIGNALBOOST™ DT boost that signal?
The SIGNALBOOST™ DT is designed to work with both the Cellular (800 MHz) and PCS (1900 MHz)
bands, but not the iDEN/Nextel frequency. Wilson offers speci c ampli ers for iDEN/Nextel users. Visit
www.wilsonelectronics.com for details.
Can I use my own cable for my installation?
The low-loss RG6 cable included with your product has been speci cally selected for the
SIGNALBOOST™ DT. Use of another type or longer length of cable will likely degrade the systems
performance.
There are frequently several people using cell phones in my building at the same time – will the
SIGNALBOOST™ DT improve the signal for all of them?
Absolutely! The SIGNALBOOST™ DT is designed to support multiple users simultaneously.
I have questions about my installation – where can I get some help?

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 ampli cation is 20 dB lower than the passband ampli cation.
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.
