• AC/DC power supply (optional – for in-building use)
How it Works
Wilson amplifiers are small, portable, 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 and in-building applications.
When using a Wilson amplifier in conjunction with Wilson antennas, the outside antenna
will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the amplifier. Cell phones
and cellular data cards (laptops) then communicate with the improved signal. When a cell
phone or cellular data card transmits, the signal is amplified by the amplifier and broadcast
back to the cell tower through the outside antenna.
In-Vehicle
Installing a Wilson Outside Antenna
To receive the best cell signal, select a location in the center of the vehicle’s roof at least 12
inches away from any other antennas and free of obstructions.
Follow the specific antenna installation instructions included with the outside antenna (sold
separately).
The outside antenna must be installed
vertically. Signal performance will be
degraded if the antenna is not vertical.

Under
Seal
For a more professional-looking installation,
the antenna cable may be run under the
door seal. Carefully pull down the door
seal. Run the cable through the seal
and push the seal back into place. This
prevents constant wear and tear on the
cable as the door opens and closes.
The antenna cable is small enough to easily
tuck under the door seal or plastic molding.

Powering up a Wilson Amplifier
Warning: Verify that both the outside
antenna and the adapter extension cable are
connected to the amplifier before powering up
the amplifier.
Carefully insert the power cable.
For in-vehicle, first connect the power cable
to the amplifier input marked “DC 12 V IN”
and then insert the large end into a 12 V DC
power socket or cigarette lighter outlet.
The amplifier may remain on all the time;
however, leaving the amplifier on in a
vehicle when it is not running can discharge
the battery in a day or two.
A good option is to power the amplifier
through the ignition switch so that the
amplifier turns off and on with the vehicle.
In-vehicle 12-volt DC power supply (included)
For in-building, first connect the optional
AC/DC power supply to the amplifier input
labeled “DC 12 V IN” and then into a wall
outlet.
Warning: Use only a Wilson power
supply. Use of a non-Wilson product could
damage your equipment.
In-building AC/DC power supply (optional)
Testing a Wilson Amplifier
To test your amplifier, go to a weak signal area where your cell phone registers only 1-2
bars without the amplifier turned on. Then, connect the amplifier to the phone and you
should see a signal improvement of 2 or more bars. Note: many phones take up to 20
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 amplifier before powering up the amplifier.
Warning:
RF Safety: In-vehicle - The outside antenna must be installed with a
separation of at least 20 inches from any of the vehicle’s occupants or
nearby persons and must not be located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or amplifier. Use of a cellular amplifier with an antenna
gain higher than 6.12 dBi is in violation of FCC regulations, for which the
offender is fully liable. All Wilson mobile antennas are 6.12 dBi or less.
Warning:
RF Safety: In-vehicle - All roof-mount antennas should be centrally
located on the roof of the vehicle. Glass-mount antennas should be
located in the middle of either the front or back windshield. Mirror-mount
antennas should be at least six feet from the ground and at least 20
inches from any persons in or around the vehicle.
Warning:
RF Safety: In-Building - The outside antenna must be installed on an
outdoor permanent structure with a separation of at least 26 inches from
all persons during normal operation. The outside building antenna must
not have a gain that exceeds 15 dBi. All Wilson outside building antennas
have gains of 15 dBi or less.
Lightning protection is recommended for all in-building installations.
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 inside of a car can
reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the amplifier temperature may be 150 degrees or higher.
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 amplifier, nor do they pose a fire risk to the vehicle.
As recommended in these instructions, install the amplifier in a location with adequate
ventilation, such as under the seat, in the trunk or under the dashboard. Keep the area free
of items that could block air flow to the amplifier.

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 reradiated 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.
