1. Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive heat, direct
sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the Signal Booster in
an air-tight enclosure.
2. Select a location on the top of the structure to install the Outside Antenna. Use a cell
phone
in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower. Visit
www.WilsonElectronics.com to find test mode function for your particular cell phone.
3. Run the Outside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to the connector
labeled “Outside Antenna.”
4. An external adapter is required to connect the cell phone or cellular data card to the
Signal Booster. The external adapter plugs into the included antenna extension cable
and directly into a socket on the cellular device. 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: Be careful when plugging the connector in so as not to bend the center pins on
the connectors. Ensure all cables have a tight connection.
5. Before powering up the Signal Booster verify that both the Outside Antenna and the
Inside Antenna are connected and check that all connections are tight. An AC surge
protector is recommended for all installations (not included).

How it Works
Wilson 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 Adapter
An 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 Antenna
Select 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 Booster
1. 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.

Testing a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster
To test your Signal Booster, go to a weak signal area where your cell phone registers only
1-2 bars without the Signal Booster turned on. Then, connect the Signal Booster to the
phone and you should see a signal improvement of 2 or more bars. Note: Many phones
take up to 30 seconds to reset the bar indicator.
Installing the Mounting Plate
To purchase a mounting plate contact Wilson Electronics Sales Team 800-204-4104.

Warnings and Recommendations
BEFORE USE, you MUST REGISTER THIS DEVICE with your wireless provider and have your
provider’s consent. Most wireless providers consent to the use of signal boosters. Some
providers may not consent to the use of this device on their network. If you are unsure, contact
your provider.
You MUST operate this device with approved antennas and cables as specified by the
manufacturer. Antennas MUST be installed at least 20 cm (8 inches) from any person.
You MUST cease operating this device immediately if requested by the FCC or a licensed
wireless service provider.
WARNING. E911 location information may not be provided or may be inaccurate for calls served
by using this device.
This is a CONSUMER device.
Lightning protection is recommended for all in-building installations.
It is recommended to verify that outside building antenna installations comply with relevant
electrical codes (e.g. National Electrical Code).
NOTE: The aluminum casing of a Wilson Electronics 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
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.

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.
