Run the outside antenna cable into the car. The cable is strong enough that it may be shut in most vehicle doors without damaging the cable. For a cleaner look, carefully pull down the door seal, run the cable under the seal, and push the seal back into place. This method reduces wear on the cable as the door opens and closes.3.   Install the Low-Prole inside antenna.  •  Identify a place on the right side of the driver’s seat to mount the inside antenna. The location should be at least 18 inches from where the cellular device will be used.   •  Install the inside antenna at the same angle as the cell phone when held in use or near the laptop’s cellular data card to maximize signal strength.    For a more professional look, you can install the inside antenna underneath a car seat cover or upholstery.  •  When you have tested the functionality of your Mobile 4G Signal Booster, mount the inside antenna by peeling off the backing of the Velcro® and attach it to your selected location on the seat and secure the inside antenna.4.   Place and connect the Mobile 4G Signal Booster.  •  Select a location for the Signal Booster that is free from excessive heat, direct sunlight and moisture and that has proper ventilation. Good locations include underneath a seat or under the dashboard.  •  Connect the wire from the outside antenna to the port labeled “outside antenna” on the Signal Booster.           •  Connect the wire from the inside antenna to the port labeled “inside antenna” on the Signal Booster.           •  Plug the power adapter into vehicle’s 12V DC power supply and attach the cord to the side of Power Booster labeled “Power.” NOTE: Do NOT connect the power to the Signal Booster until you have connected both the inside and outside antennas.
5Need help? www.WilsonElectronics.com Tech Support  866-294-1660Mon.- Fri. Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MSTinto both the Mobile 4G Signal Booster and the power source. •  If using a DC power supply in your vehicle, ensure the power supply is properly inserted. Then check the 12 volt power from the car socket and the fuse. Replace the fuse if necessary. Red light: A red light indicates oscillation is occurring. Oscillation is similar to feedback between a microphone and speaker. When oscillation occurs, the Signal Booster will power down to protect the cell tower. To eliminate oscillation, the outside antenna needs to be moved farther from the inside antenna. Move the outside antenna on the roof to the rear of the car, but at least 8 to 12 inches from the rear or side windows. Disconnect the power from the Signal Booster, then reconnect the power to reset the Signal Booster. Blinking Red/Green: If one or more of the lights on the Signal Booster are blinking red/green, this means that the Signal Booster has reduced gain due to oscillation. Increase the distance between the Outside and the Inside Antennas, or place the Outside Antenna near the center of the vehicle, and reset the Signal Booster by disconnecting then reconnecting the power to the signal booster.  Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team for assistance. Increasedistance Insideantenna  •  Power up your Signal Booster by ipping the switch on the back of the DC power adapter on. A red light should appear on the power adapter.Note:   The Mobile 4G Signal Booster may remain on, in vehicles whose 12V DC power sources do not automatically shutdown when the vehicle is turned off. This could result in discharging the vehicles battery in one to two days. Note:   Some 12V DC power sources are shut down when the vehicle ignition is turned to off. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for specics related to your vehicle. NOTE: The aluminum casing of your Signal Booster will adjust to the temperature of its environment, but is designed to protect the Signal Booster technology. For example, in the summer, the Signal Booster case may be as hot as 150 degrees inside your vehicle. These high temperatures will NOT damage the Signal Booster, nor do they pose a re risk to the vehicle. Again, be sure to place your Signal Booster in a location with adequate ventilation and away from direct sunlight or moisture.  Troubleshooting & Understanding Lights  The lights on the front of the Mobile 4G Signal Booster indicate whether the system is working or if there are problems.  Each light indicates the operation of its labeled frequency. Take the following steps based on the indicator light color when using the Mobile 4G Signal Booster. Lights off: If the lights are not on: •  Check connections on the power supply to see that it is rmly plugged

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.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 modifications not expressly approved by Wilson Electronics could void the authority to operate this equipment.
