Find the Strongest Cellular Signal
Before you install your DT4G signal booster,
you must determine the location of the best
available cellular signal. This will affect the
location of your Outside Antenna and will
help you get the best performance from your
DT4G. You can nd the strongest signal
outside your building, typically at the highest
point available, using any of the following
methods:
1. Best method:
Connect the Outside Antenna to the
DT4G signal booster, and the DT4G
to the Desktop Antenna. Have one
person outside (on the roof for best
results) rotate the Outside Antenna with
a second person inside the building
near the Desktop Antenna watching the
signal strength on a phone. This allows
you to read the signal strength from
nearby cell towers.
a. The person inside should have
the phone in test mode so the
numerical signal strength can be
read. This is more accurate than
the bar indicator. Go to www.
wilsonelectronics.com/test-mode-
instructions for help in nding the
test mode for your phone.
b. The person on the roof should turn
the Outside Antenna 45 degrees
at a time. Allow 30 seconds for the
phone to register with each turn.
Rotate in 45°
increments
c. The person inside should note the
readings on the phone with each turn.
Signal readings usually appear as
a negative number. The closer the
number gets to zero, the stronger the
signal (for example, -86 dB would be
a moderately good reading while -55
dB would be an excellent reading,
and -110 dB would be a weak, or
unusable signal).
Rotate in 45°
increments
d. Once you have determined which
direction provides the strongest
outside signal, you can install the
Outside Antenna in that general
direction.
2. Good methods:
a. Place calls from several locations
outside your building. As you move
to different locations, note where
you get the best reception.
b. If you have a smart phone, you
can download apps that help you
identify locations of cell phone
towers or the strongest signal. Go
to the App Store and search for “cell
signal” to nd available apps for
your device.
3. Acceptable method: Check the bar
indicator on your cell phone display
and note where the signal appears
the strongest. (Note: cell phone bars
are only an approximation of signal
strength and vary from phone to
phone.) Phones can take up to 30
seconds to reset to a new reading. Be
patient and repeat your signal check
several times.
For additional instructions on nding
the strongest cellular signal, watch the
installation video at: wilsonelectronics.com/
DT4Gvideo.

Ready to Install Inside Window Mount
1. Select a location on the inside of
a window as high as possible and
at least 20 feet from where the
DT4G will be located. Note that this
distance typically requires the window
mount to be in a different room from
where you will locate the DT4G and
Desktop Antenna. The window should
face roughly in the direction of the
strongest cellular signal (see section
headed “Find the Strongest Cellular
Signal” on page 4).

8. Connect the DT4G to a surge protected
AC power strip with at least a 1000 Joule
rating. If your DT4G is working correctly,
the lights will be green.
If the lights are orange or red, see the
“Troubleshooting” section on page 10.
NOTE:
Modern energy efcient dual-pane
windows with coatings will weaken
the cellular signals as they pass
through because of a metal oxide
lm applied during manufacturing.
If you have dual-pane windows with
energy efcient coatings, we rec-
ommend one of the other mounting
options if your performance is not
to your satisfaction.
Installation Options

Rafter Mount Option
1. Select a location in the building’s rafters
where the Outside Antenna can be
mounted directly above the Desktop
Antenna with at least 20 feet vertical
or horizontal separation. The location
should allow you to mount the Outside
Antenna roughly in the direction of the
strongest cellular signal.
2. Mount the Outside Antenna bracket
to the rafter using the four screws and
four washers provided in Packet B
(pre-drill if necessary).
3. Connect the supplied coax cable to
the antenna lead cable on the Outside
Antenna.
4. Route the cable as desired to the
location of the DT4G. If you need to
connect both coax cables, use the
Cable Connector provided.
Additional Considerations
Whichever installation you choose,
keep the following guidelines in mind to
maximize your signal strength:
1. Always turn the Outside Antenna so
the Wilson logo is toward the strongest
cellular signal. The strength of the
signal at the Desktop Antenna (and
therefore, how far it will transmit a signal)
is dependent upon the signal strength
at the Outside Antenna. Be sure to
maximize the strength at the Outside
Antenna.
Rotate in small
increments
2. Maintain a distance of at least 20 feet
from the Outside Antenna to the DT4G
unit.
If possible, place the Desktop
Signal Antenna directly beneath the
placement of the Outside Antenna
location. This creates a maximized
signal zone within the room where the
Desktop Antenna remains.

3. Keep the DT4G and the Desktop
Antenna at least 18 inches away
from each other with the Wilson logo
on the Desktop Antenna facing away
from the DT4G.
4. Do not face the Outside Antenna and
the Desktop Antenna toward each
other. This can cause the DT4G
to show red lights and shut down,
preventing oscillation or feedback
(see troubleshooting on pg. 10).
In other words, the Wilson logos
on the Outside Antenna and the
Desktop Antenna should always be
facing away from each other.
5. If you do not know how to mount
hardware or run coax cable through
walls, ceilings and oors, get help from
one of Wilson’s certied installers at
www.wilsonelectronics.com/installers
or from a qualied contractor or
electrician. You can also try the Inside
Window Mount option (pg.5), which
may be sufcient for your needs.
Recommended: Lightning Surge
Protector (Sold Separately, part #859992)

desk or behind it. Be sure the location
is near a power outlet. To ensure
proper ventilation, keep other objects
at least six (6) inches away.
2. Place the DT4G on a desk, table or
other solid surface where you have
routed the cable from the Outside
Antenna.
3. Attach the coax cable from the

Troubleshooting &
Understanding Lights
The DT4G includes four indicator lights, one
for each band. All indicator lights will be
green, orange or red.
Green indicates that the booster is
powered and operating at maximum
gain.
Solid Red indicates that the booster
has shut off on the associated
frequencies to prevent oscillation
(feedback).
Solid Orange indicates that the
booster has shut off on the associated
frequencies due to close proximity of a
cell tower.
Green/Orange Blinking indicates that
the booster is operating at a reduced
gain due to close proximity of a cell
tower.
Green/Red Blinking indicates that the
booster is operating at a reduced gain
to prevent oscillation (feedback).
Note: All red light issues must be resolved
before orange light issues.
Fixing Red Light Issues
If one or more lights on the Signal Boost are
red:
1. Make sure all connections are tight.
2. Increase the distance between the
outside antenna and the inside
antenna, by moving them horizontally
and/or vertically farther apart until the
light(s) change to green.
3. Follow the same steps for a green/red
blinking light until the light goes solid
green.
4. If more separation is not possible
and the coverage of the booster is

light indicating reduced gain, contact
the Customer Support Team for
assistance: 866-294-1660.
Fixing Orange Light Issues
If one or more lights on the Signal Booster
are orange:
1. Move the Outside Antenna away from
the strongest cellular signal in small
increments until the light turns green
or green/orange blinking.
2. If the light remains orange, or if the
green/orange blinking light indicating
reduced gain is not providing enough
coverage area, contact the weBoost

If one or more of the lights on the Signal
Booster are off verify power to your surge
protected power strip.
NOTE: The Signal Booster can be reset by
disconnecting and reconnecting the power
supply.
Additional FAQ:
What hours can I contact tech support?
Technical Support can be reached from 7:00am
to 6:00pm MST, by calling (866-294-1660), or by
email, at tech@wilsonelectronics.com.
How does weather affect the performance of
my Outside Antenna?
Water vapor (e.g. rain, fog, snow or other
precipitation) creates an effective lter to cellular
signal. In times of heavy precipitation, you may
see less performance.
What’s the difference between the 800 MHz
and the 1900 MHz bands? How do I know
which MHz band my cell phone uses?
The DT4G works with all major North American
cellular providers on the 800 & 1900 MHz
frequencies. Traditionally, 800/1900MHz are
associated with voice and 3G data; while 700MHz
and 1700/2100MHz are associated with 4G data.
Why do I need to maintain at least 20 feet of
separation, but no more than 50 feet? OR Why
do I need to create so much distance between
the antennas?
Antennas connected to a booster create a sphere
of signal. When these sphere’s overlap, a
condition called oscillation occurs. This oscillation
can be thought of as noise, which causes the
booster to shut down to prevent damage from
occurring. The best way to keep these spheres of
signal from creating noise is to maintain separation
between your inside and Outside Antennas.
However – as any cable has loss, we recommend
that you try to minimize the total separation to keep
within the range of 20-50 feet.
Carrier Frequency Use
We recommend visiting www.wirelessadvisor.com
(United States) or http://bit.ly/1mQf2Gl (Canada)
for information regarding the frequency band
used by your cell service provider in a specic
geographical location.

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.
