Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MST.How it WorksWilson 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, machine to machine 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 AdapterAn external adapter is required to connect the cell phone or cellular data card to the Signal 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 “Cellular Phone or Data Card” 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 AntennaSelect 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).  Powering up a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster1.  Ensure that both the Outside Antenna cable and the adapter cable are connected to the Signal Booster before powering up the Signal Booster.2.  Connect the power supply to the power input labeled with the USB symbol on the Signal Booster. Plug the power supply into a power strip surge protector (recommended).3.  The indicator light on the top of the Signal Booster will be GREEN when the unit is powered up and working properly.4.  If the light is off, ensure power supply connections are tight.

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 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 the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following 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 made that are not expressly approved by Wilson Electronics could void 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 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.
