How it Works
Your new Wilson Signal Booster has been carefully engineered to significantly improve the performance
of your cell phone and cellular data card in mobile applications. Together with an Outside Antenna, the
Signal Booster’s state-of-the-art technology is designed to increase your signal, reduce dropped calls
and increase data communication rates.
The Outside Antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the Signal
Booster which is then boosted and sent to the Inside Antenna. Result – improved signal!
KIT CONFIGURATION
Wilson Electronics manufactures a wide variety of antennas to help you customize your Signal Booster for your specific application.

Installing the Outside Antenna
To 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.

Before Getting Started
This guide will help you properly install your Wilson Electronics Five 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. Contact Wilson
Electronics Technical Support Team with any questions at 866-294-1660.

Installing a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster
Warning: 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.)

Installing the Low-Profile Antenna
Warning: 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.

If the indicator lights on the Signal Booster are green, the unit is powered up and working
properly.
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.
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.

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 incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Booster
is not in use for five 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 an 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 (five) such automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut off until the Signal Booster has been manually restarted by momentarily removing
power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor.
