Quick Installation Overview
The following steps provide a summary of the Signal Booster/antenna installation process.
Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team with any questions at 866-294-1660.
1.	
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.
2.	
Select a location on the top of the structure to install the Outside Antenna. Use a cell
phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower. 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.”
4.	
An external adapter is required to connect the cell phone or cellular data card to the
Signal Booster. The external adapter plugs into the included antenna extension cable
and directly into a socket on the cellular device. Run the extension cable from the
external adapter and attach it to the connector labeled “Inside Antenna” on the Signal
Booster.
Note: Be careful when plugging the connector in so as not to bend the center pins on 		
the connectors. Ensure all cables have a tight connection.
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. An AC surge
protector is recommended for all installations (not included).

How it Works
Wilson Electronics Signal Boosters are bi-directional devices that deliver service levels
consistent with what would be expected in areas of high cell network coverage. They
amplify a weak or shadowed signal in mobile, marine, M2M and in-building applications.
When using a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster in conjunction with Wilson Electronics
antennas, the Outside Antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the
cable to the Signal Booster. Cell phones and cellular data cards then communicate with
the improved signal. When a cellular device transmits, the signal is amplified by the Signal
Booster and transmitted back to the cell tower through the Outside Antenna.
Installing the External Adapter
An external adapter is required to connect the cell phone or cellular data card to the Signal
Booster. The external adapter is cell phone/data card-specific and may be purchased
through a local retailer. Refer to Wilson Electronics Adapter Guide to identify the correct
adapter for your cell phone or cellular data card. The adapter guide is available through a
local retailer or at www.WilsonElectronics.com. The external adapter plugs into the antenna
extension cable (included) and directly into a socket on the cellular device.
The external adapter and the extension cable are long enough to reach the Signal Booster
location. This allows for ease and convenience of use. Run the extension cable from the
external adapter and attach it to the connector labeled “Inside Antenna” on the Signal
Booster.
NOTE: Depending on your specific cell phone, the adapter socket may be located beneath 		
a rubber plug.
Installing a Wilson Electronics Outside Antenna
Select a location on the top of the structure to install the Outside Antenna that has the most
unobstructed line of sight to the cell tower. To obtain maximum performance, the antenna
should point toward the cell tower. Follow the instructions included with the Outside
Antenna and the RF Safety Warning (page 5). Run the cable from the Outside Antenna and
attach it to the connector labeled “Outside Antenna” on the Signal Booster.
Lightning protection is recommended for all stationary installations (sold separately). Take
extreme care to ensure neither you nor the antenna come in contact with any electrical power
lines. Ensure there are at least three feet of clearance in all directions surrounding the
antenna.
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. Ensure the Signal Booster is installed
within six feet of where the cell phone or cellular data card will be used (to accommodate
the six-foot adapter extension cable).
Run the cable from the Outside Antenna and attach it to the connector labeled “Outside
Antenna” on the Signal Booster.
Powering up a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster
1.	
2.	
3.	
4.	
Ensure that both the Outside Antenna cable and the adapter cable are connected to the
Signal Booster before powering up the Signal Booster.
Connect the power supply to the power input labeled “7V DC” on the Signal Booster.
Plug the power supply into a powerstrip surge protector (recommended).
The indicator light on the side of the Signal Booster will be GREEN when the unit is
powered up and working properly.
If the light is off, ensure power supply connections are tight.

or email: tech@wilsonelectronics.com Mon.- Fri. Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MST.
!
Warning: Verify that both the Outside
Antenna and the adapter extension cable
are connected to the Signal Booster before
powering up the Signal Booster.
Warning: Use only a Wilson Electronics power
supply. Use of a non-Wilson Electronics product
could damage your equipment. It is very
important to power your Signal Booster using a
surge protected AC Power Strip with at least a
1000 Joule rating.
Carefully insert the power cable.
Testing a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster
To test your Signal Booster, go to a weak signal area where your cell phone registers only
1-2 bars without the Signal Booster turned on. Then, connect the Signal Booster to the
phone and you should see a signal improvement of 2 or more bars.
Note: Many phones take up to 30 seconds to reset the bar indicator.

Warnings and Recommendations
Warning:
Verify that both the Outside Antenna and the adapter extension cable are
connected 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 products may damage your equipment.
Warning:
RF Safety: All outside fixed antennas may not have gain that exceeds
15 dBi (less cable loss) and must be located at least 56 inches from all
people. All antennas shown on page one meet these requirements.
Lightning protection is recommended for all in-building installations.
It is recommended that outside building antenna installations comply with relevant electrical
codes.
NOTE: The aluminum casing of a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster will adjust very quickly
to the ambient temperature of its environment. For example, in the summer, when the
inside of a enclosure can be extremely hot, the Signal Boosters’ optional fan will come on
to prevent overheating. 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 Signal Booster, nor do they
pose a fire risk to the structure. As recommended in these instructions, install the Signal
Booster in a location with adequate ventilation. Keep the area free of items that could block
air flow to the Signal Booster. Do not install the Signal Booster in direct sunlight.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. The operation is subject to two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Wilson Electronics could void the authority to operate
this equipment.

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.
