It may damage the Signal Booster, cell phone and/or data card.!!Quick Installation OverviewMagnet - Mount Antenna ShownPart #301103CarefullyPull DownDoor SealRun CableUnder SealTuck CableUnder SealInstalling the Outside AntennaTo receive the best cell signal, select a location in the center of the vehicle’s roof 12 inches away from any other antennas or windows. If the vehicle has a sunroof, it is important to separate the Inside and Outside Antennas by at least five feet. This prevents the Signal Booster from overloading or oscillating. As shown above. Follow the specific antenna installation instructions included with the Outside Antenna.Separation of the Inside and Outside Antennas is very important. The metal roof of the vehicle acts as a barrier and helps shield the two antennas from each other, preventing oscillation (feedback).The Outside Antenna must be installed vertically.  Signal performance will be degraded if the antenna is not vertical.The antenna cable may run through the door to the Signal Booster.For a more professional looking installation, run the antenna cable under the door seal. The antenna cable is small enough to easily tuck under the door seal or plastic molding. 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.Warning: Do not plug in the DC power supply until the Outside and Inside Antenna cables are attached to the Signal Booster.HUMMERHUMMERInstallation DiagramOutsideAntennaInsideAntennaDistance between antennas through a sunroof must be 5 feet or more.DC Power SupplySignal BoosterCell PhonePDANotebookBefore Getting StartedThis guide will help you properly install your Wilson Electronics Dual-Band Mobile Wireless Signal Booster. 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.

Hours: 7am to 6 pm MST.Installing a Wilson Electronics Signal BoosterWarning: Do not install the Low-Profile Antenna within four inches of metal.  (Metal found inside the vehicle’s seat will not affect the antenna’s performance.)Signal BoosterLow-ProfileAntennaInstalling the Low-Profile AntennaWarning: Do not plug in the DC power supply until the Outside and Inside Antenna cables are attached to the Signal Booster.!!Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and has proper ventilation.Run the cable from the Outside Antenna and attach it to the connector labeled “Outside Antenna” on the Signal Booster.Attach the Low-Profile Antenna cable to the connector labeled “Inside Antenna” on the Signal Booster.NOTE:  The aluminum casing of a Wilson Signal Booster 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 Signal Booster 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 Signal Booster, nor do they pose a fire risk to the vehicle. 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.Connect the power cable from the DC plug-in power supply to the Signal Booster marked “POWER” and insert the large end into DC power socket (the vehicle power adapter outlet).The Signal Booster may remain on all the time.  However,  leaving the Signal Booster on in a vehicle when it is not running can discharge or drain the battery in a day or two. Switch the power supply off when not in use.A good option is to power the Signal Booster through the ignition switch so the Signal Booster is turned on and off with the vehicle.An available option to do this with is the Hardwire Kit from Wilson Electronics (#859923).IMPORTANT: Do not power up the Signal Booster unless antenna cables are attached to Signal Booster.ON/OFF SWITCH6 V DC / POWERPowering up a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster

Hours: 7am to 6 pm MST.Lights and Troubleshooting for Mobile BoostersNote: The power light will turn green when the Signal Booster is successfully powered up. When the 800 MHz or 1900 MHz lights are lit green, the Signal Booster is amplifying the outside signal.Green: If the indicator lights on the Signal Booster are green, the unit is powered up and working properly. Red: If one or more lights on the Signal Booster are red, this indicates that the Signal Booster has shut down on that frequency to prevent an oscillation (feedback). First, make sure that all connections are tight. 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. Reset the Signal Booster by disconnecting then reconnecting the power to the Signal Booster.  Blinking Red: If one or more of the lights on the Signal Booster are blinking red, this means that the Signal Booster has shutoff due to close proximity to the handset or mobile device. Increase the distance between the handset and the Inside Antenna until the light is no longer flashing red. Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team for assistance.Understanding the Signal Booster LightsAll green lights: Signal Booster is working properlySolid Red Light: Signal Booster has shut down on that frequency Blinking Red: Signal Booster has shutoff

Hours: 7am to 6 pm MST.This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. 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 modications not expressly approved by Wilson Electronics could void the authority to operate this equipment.Each Signal Booster is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. The Signal Booster cannot be adjusted without factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Booster will amplify, but not alter the incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Booster is not in use for ve minutes, it will reduce gain until a signal is detected. If a detected signal is too high in a frequency band, or if the Signal Booster detects and oscillation, the Signal Booster will automatically turn the power off on that band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Booster will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1 minute. After 5 (ve) such restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut off until the Signal Booster has been manually restarted by momentarily removing the power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor. Warnings and Recommendations Warning:   In a wireless installation, do not plug the Signal Booster directly into the cell phone or cellular data card using an antenna adapter.  It will damage the Signal Booster, cell phone or cellular data card. Warning:  Do not plug in the DC power supply until the Outside and Inside Antenna cables are attached to the Signal Booster. Warning:  The Inside Antennas must have a 1.5 feet of separation distance from all active users.

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.111256_Rev01_01.16.14
