Installation Instructions for the Following Wilson Amplifier: SignalBoost™ 900/1900 MHz iDEN Amplifier Model #2B4310, Part #814310 FCC ID: PWO2B4310SM IC: 4726A-2B4310SM Patent Pending The term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. Inside this Package SignalBoost™ amplifier Cell Phone Cradle Plus 12 V DC power supply (vehicle) Adhesive Bracket VELCRO® Adhesive/Screw Swivel Bracket Universal connector Air-vent Bracket How it Works Your new Wilson SignalBoost™ Amplifier has been carefully engineered to significantly improve the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card. Together with an antenna, the amplifier’s state-of-the-art technology is designed to increase your signal up to 10-15 times, reduce disconnects and dropouts, and increase data communication rates needed for 3G technologies. The universal connector works with all iDEN data cards. The antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the amplifier. The signal is then boosted and sent through the extension cable to either the universal connector on your data card or the cradle antenna with your cell phone, which then communicates with the improved signal. When the cell phone or data card transmits, the signal goes through either the universal connector or the cradle antenna, is boosted by the amplifier and broadcast back to the cell tower through the antenna. NOTE: Use of this amplifier with an antenna gain higher than 6.12 dBi on a vehicle or within a building is in violation of FCC regulations. All Wilson mobile antennas have 6.12 dBi or less gain. Use of this amplifier with an outside fixed building antenna gain exceeding 15 dBi is in violation of FCC regulations. All Wilson Yagi antennas have gains of 15 dBi or less. Use of antennas with higher than the above maximum allowable gains is in violation of FCC regulations for which the offender is fully liable. Before Getting Started This guide will help you properly install Wilson’s dual-band, SignalBoost™ 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/antenna installation process using a magnet-mount or mini magnet-mount antenna. However, they are not a substitute for the complete installation instructions on the following pages, which you should read thoroughly. If you are using a different antenna, follow the specific instructions that come with it. STEP 1 Install the Antenna For a vehicle installation, attach the antenna in the center of the vehicle’s roof and run the cable through the door to the amplifier. For a home or office installation, attach the magnetmount or mini magnet-mount antenna to the optional window bracket, affix the bracket to a window with the suction cups and run the cable to the amplifier. (See pages 4 and 6 for details and warnings.) STEP 2 Install the Amplifier Position the amplifier in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Run the cable from the antenna and attach it to the FME-Male connector labeled “outside antenna” on the amplifier. (See pages 5 and 6 for details.) STEP 3 Attach the Universal Connector or the Cradle Antenna Attach the universal connector cable to the FME-Male connector labeled “Universal Connector” on the amplifier. Attach the other end of the cable to your cellular data card with the supplied VELCRO®. (See page 7 for details.) Or, attach the Cradle Antenna cable to the amplifier. STEP 4 Power up the Amplifier IMPORTANT! Before connecting the power supply, ensure that both the antenna cable and the cable to either the Cradle Antenna or the Universal Connector are connected. (See page 8 for details.) Antenna (sold separately) Laptop Connection SIGNALBOOST™ Amplifier Cigarette Power Supply SIGNALBOOST™ Amplifier Mobile Installation Diagram AC Power Supply and Window Bracket sold separately (Part #859940) Home/Office Installation Diagram Vehicle Installation Installing the 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. The antenna must be installed vertically. Signal performance will be degraded if the antenna is not vertical. The antenna cable may be run through the door to the amplifier. Warning: The mobile antenna used with this amplifier must have a separation distance of at least 8 inches from all persons. Carefully Pull Down Door Seal Run Cable 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. Tuck Cable Under Seal Vehicle Installation Installing the Wilson SignalBoost™ Amplifier Warning: Do not plug in the DC power supply until the antenna and other cables are attached to the amplifier. Select a location to install the amplifier that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight or moisture and that has proper ventilation. Recommended installation locations are: • Under the seat • Under the dash Run the cable from the antenna and attach it to the FME-Male connector labeled “outside antenna” on the amplifier. Attach the cradle antenna cable to the FME-Male connector labeled “Universal Connector” on the amplifier. Installing the Cradle Plus Option 1 - Air Vent Bracket Insert the two vent clips into the circular hole in the bracket and slide them to each end of the slot. The flat surface of the clips should face upwards. Slide the bracket clips into the chosen vent until they snap into place. If necessary, use a thin-bladed screwdriver to gently pry the clips apart as they slide into the vent. Position the moveable arm at the base of the bracket to achieve the desired angle and to provide additional stability for the bracket. Option 2 - Adhesive Bracket Clean the area where the bracket is to be mounted with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth. Allow to dry. Peel the backing to expose the adhesive and press the bracket onto the desired location in the vehicle. Note: be sure the bracket is positioned vertically, not horizontally. Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before you attach the cradle. Note: Once the cradle is attached, you can adjust the angle of the adhesive bracket by applying gentle pressure to the top or bottom of the cradle. Option 3 - Adhesive/Screw Swivel Bracket Clean the area where the bracket is to be mounted with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth. Allow to dry. For an adhesive mount, peel the backing to expose the adhesive and press the bracket onto the desired location in the vehicle. Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before you attach the cradle. For best mounting results and longterm performance, we suggest that you choose a flat smooth surface like the console area of your vehicle between the two front seats. If this is not available in your vehicle, you may mount the cradle on the front of the dashboard. If mounting the cradle on a sloped area of the dashboard in your vehicle, please note that gravity may affect the adhesive over time. Use the screw mount for a more permanent attachment. For a screw mount, use an ice pick or awl to punch through the adhesive and expose the four screw holes in the bracket. You must provide the screws of an appropriate size for your particular application. Using the bracket as a template, mark the locations for the screws as shown, drill pilot holes and attach the bracket with screws. Once the cradle is attached, you can loosen the knurled wheel and swivel the hook to the desired angle, then re-tighten the wheel. Attaching the Cradle Once you have installed the mount in the desired location, attach the cradle by aligning the rectangular hole on its back with the hook on the mount. Grasping the sides of the cradle, slide it downward approximately ¼ inch into place. Home/Office Installation Installing the Antenna To receive the best cell signal, select a window location at least 12 inches away from any radio or television antennas and free of obstructions. Using the suction cups, position the optional mounting bracket on the window at a height convenient to where the amplifier will be located, then attach the antenna to the bracket. The antenna must be installed vertically. Signal performance will be degraded if the antenna is not vertical. Warning: The bracket mounted antennas used with this amplifier must have a separation distance of at least 8 inches from all persons. Installing the Wilson SignalBoost™ Amplifier Warning: Do not plug in the AC power supply until the outside antenna and universal connector cables are attached to the amplifier. Select a location to install the amplifier that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight or moisture and that has proper ventilation. Recommended installation locations are: • On a desk or table top • In a bookshelf • On the floor Run the cable from the antenna and attach it to the FME-Male connector labeled “outside antenna” on the amplifier. Attach the universal connector cable to the extension cable and attach the extension cable to the FME-Male connector labeled “Universal Connector” on the amplifier. Then attach the universal connector to your cellular data card. Installing the Wilson Universal Connector Amplifier Universal Connector The universal connector must be placed directly on the cellular data card to work properly. Attach the universal connector to the cellular data card with the VELCRO® included in the package. IMPORTANT: The adhesive of the gray Velcro patch needs time to “cure.” For best results, do not use the Velcro connection for a minimum of 24 hours after application. Cellular data card The universal connector and extension cable included in the package are long enough to reach the amplifier location. This allows for ease and convenience of use. Powering up the Amplifier Make sure both the outside antenna and other cables are connected before powering up the amplifier. For vehicle use, connect the power cable from the DC power supply to the amplifier input marked “Power” and insert the large end into DC power socket (the cigarette lighter outlet). Carefully insert the power cable. For home or office use, connect the cable from the AC/DC power supply (sold separately) to the amplifier input marked “Power” and insert the plug end into a standard wall outlet. 12 V DC power supply (included) Warning: Use only Wilson power supply units. Use of a non-Wilson product may damage your equipment. 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 the amplifier is turned on and off with the vehicle. AC/DC power supply (not included) IMPORTANT: Do not power up the amplifier unless the antenna and other cables are attached to the amplifier. NOTE: The aluminum casing of the SignalBoost™ 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 steering wheel. Such high temperatures will not damage the amplifier, nor do they pose a fire risk. As recommended in these instructions, when installing the amplifier in a vehicle, select a location with adequate ventilation, such as under the seat or dashboard. Keep the area free of items that could block air flow to the amplifier. Warnings and Recommendations Warning: Do not plug the amplifier directly into the cell phone or cellular data card using an antenna adapter. It will damage the cell phone or cellular data card. Warning: Do not plug in the power supply until the antenna other cables are attached to the amplifier. Warning: RF Safety: Vehicle and indoor building antennas must be installed with a separation of at least 8 inches from all persons. Fixed outdoor building antennas must be installed with a separation distance of at least 24 inches from all persons. These antennas must not be located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or amplifier. NOTE: Use of this amplifier with an antenna gain higher than 6.12 dBi on a vehicle or within a building is in violation of FCC regulations. All Wilson mobile antennas have 6.12 dBi or less gain. Use of this amplifier with an outside building antenna gain exceeding 15 dBi is in violation of FCC regulations. All Wilson Yagi antennas have gains of 15 dBi or less. Use of antennas with higher than the above maximum allowable gains is in violation of FCC regulations for which the offender is fully liable. Recommended amplifier installation locations for a vehicle are: • Under the seat • Under the dash Power the amplifier through the ignition switch so the amplifier is turned on and off with the vehicle.

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.
