Before Getting Started
This guide will help you properly install Wilson’s dual-band, mobile wireless amplifier. 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.
If you do not understand the instructions in full, seek professional help, or contact Wilson
Technical Support at 866-294-1660.
How it Works
Wilson amplifiers are small, portable, bi-directional devices that deliver cellular service levels
consistent with what would be expected in areas of high cell network coverage. They amplify
a weak or shadowed signal in vehicle, marine and in-building applications.
When using a Wilson amplifier in conjunction with Wilson antennas, the outside antenna will
collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the amplifier. The signal is then
amplified and broadcast from the inside antenna to the surrounding area. Cell phones and
cellular data cards (laptops) in that area then communicate with the improved signal. When
a cell phone or cellular data card transmits, the signal is received by the inside antenna,
amplified by the amplifier and broadcast back to the cell tower through the outside antenna.

Installing a Wilson 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 and free of obstructions.
Follow the specific antenna installation instructions included with the outside antenna (sold
separately).
Warning: Do not use any type of glassmount antenna with this amplifier. The outside
and inside antennas must be shielded from
each other to prevent oscillation.
The outside antenna must be installed
vertically. Signal performance will be
degraded if the antenna is not vertical.

Part #301103
The antenna cable may be run through the
door to the amplifier.
Warning: The outside antenna must
have a separation of at least 10 inches from all
persons during normal operation.

Under
Seal
For a more professional-looking installation,
the antenna cable may be run under the
door seal. 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.
The antenna cable is small enough to easily
tuck under the door seal or plastic molding.

Installing a Wilson Amplifier
Warning: Do not plug in the DC power
supply until the outside and inside antenna
cables are attached to the amplifier.
Select a location to install the amplifier that
is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight
or moisture and that has proper ventilation.
Recommended installation locations are:
• Under the seat
• In the trunk
• Under the dash
Run the cable from the outside antenna and
attach it to the FME-Male connector labeled
“outside antenna” on the amplifier.
Attach the inside antenna cable to the FMEMale connector labeled “inside antenna” on
the amplifier.
Wilson offers two options of improved signal
inside a vehicle:
Option A (Wireless) - offers the
convenience of no physical connection to
the cell phone or cellular data card.
Option B (Attached) - places the universal
connector directly on the cell phone or
cellular data card for maximum signal
performance.
Option A (Wireless)
Installing a Wilson Inside Antenna
Low-profile
Antenna
Amplifier
For optimal performance, install the lowprofile inside antenna within a foot from
where the cell phone or cellular data card will
be used.
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.)
Place the inside antenna at shoulder height
on the side of the driver’s seat for maximum
performance.
Install the inside antenna at the same angle
as the cell phone when held in use, or place
next to the laptop’s cellular data card. This
will maximize the signal strength.
For a more professional-looking installation,
the low-profile antenna may be slid under
the seat cover or leather, high on the
driver’s seat.
The low-profile antenna must have a
separation of at least eight inches from all
persons during normal operation.
Option B (Attached)
Installing a Wilson Universal Connector
Amplifier
6’ Extension
Cable
Universal
Connector
The universal connector must be placed
directly on the cell phone or cellular data
card to work properly. Attach the universal
connector to the cell phone or cellular data
card with the VELCRO® included in the
package.
The universal connector and extension
cable included in the package are long
enough to reach the amplifier location. This
allows for ease and convenience of use.
To adjust the universal connector for the
best signal, go to a weak signal location
where your cell phone registers only 12 bars without the universal connector
connected. Then, attach the universal
connector to the phone and you should see
a signal improvement of 2 or more bars.
NOTE: Many phones take up to 20 seconds
to reset the bar indicator.
Cellular data card
To maximize performance, attach the
universal connector as close as possible to
the original antenna on your cell phone or
cellular data card.
For cell phones with an internal antenna,
place the universal connector on the back,
upper left-hand corner of the phone. (Figure
1) NOTE: Certain phones, such as the
Motorola RAZR, have internal antennas at
the base, rather than the top, in which case
the universal connector should be attached
at the bottom rear of the phone.
For cell phones with an external antenna,
place the universal connector directly below
the phone’s original antenna. (Figure 2)
If you have any questions as to the location
of the antenna on your phone, call Wilson
Technical Support at 866-294-1660 or visit
www.wilsonelectronics.com.

Powering up a Wilson Amplifier
Make sure both the outside and inside
antenna cables are connected before
powering up the amplifier.
Connect the power cable from the DC
plug-in power supply to the amplifier
marked “Power” and insert the large end
into DC power socket (the cigarette lighter
outlet.)
Carefully insert the power cable.
Warning: Use only the power
supply provided in this package. The
power supply must be 6 V DC.
The amplifier may remain on all the time.
However, leaving the amplifier on in a
vehicle when it is not running can discharge
the battery in a day or two.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the amplifier unless antenna cables are attached to
amplifier.
A good option is to power the amplifier
through the ignition switch so the amplifier
is turned on and off with the vehicle.
NOTE: The aluminum casing of a Wilson amplifier 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 amplifier 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 amplifier, nor do they pose a fire risk to the vehicle.
As recommended in these instructions, install the amplifier in a location with adequate
ventilation, such as under the seat, in the trunk or under the dashboard. Keep the area free
of items that could block air flow to the amplifier.
Separation of 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.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, it is important to separate the inside and outside antennas by at least
five feet. This prevents the amplifier from overloading or oscillating.
Distance between antennas
through a sunroof must be
5 feet or more.
Warnings and Recommendations
Warning:
In a wireless installation, do not plug the amplifier directly into
the cell phone or cellular data card using an antenna adapter. It
will damage the cell phone or cellular data card.
Warning:
Do not install the inside antenna within four inches of metal.
(Metal found inside the vehicle’s seat will not affect antenna
performance.)
Warning:
Do not use any type of glass-mount antenna with this amplifier.
The outside and inside antennas must be shielded from each
other to prevent oscillation.
Warning:
Do not plug in the DC power supply until the outside and inside
antenna cables are attached to the amplifier.
Warning:
The inside antenna must be installed with a separation of at
least eight inches from all persons and must not be located in
conjunction with any other antenna or amplifier.
Warning:
The outside antenna must be installed with a separation of at
least 10 inches from any of the vehicle’s occupants or nearby
persons and must not be located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or amplifier. All roof-mount antennas should
be centrally located on the roof of the vehicle. Mirror-mount
antennas should be at least six inches from the ground and
leave at least 10 inches of separation from any persons near or
around the vehicle. Use of this cellular amplifier with an antenna
gain higher than 6.12 dBi is in violation of FCC regulations for
which the offender is fully liable. All Wilson mobile antennas are
6.12 dBi or less.
Recommended amplifier installation locations are:
• Under the seat
• In the trunk
• Under the dash
For optimum performance, install the low-profile antenna within a foot from
where the cell phone or cellular data card will be used.
Power the amplifier through the ignition switch so the amplifier is turned on and
off with the vehicle.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, it is important to separate the inside and outside
antennas by at least five feet. This prevents the amplifier from overloading or
oscillating.

If one or both frequency lights turn red,
the outside signal may be too strong,
an interfering signal may be present,
or oscillation may be occurring and
the amplifier has powered down. For
the case that the outside signal is
too strong, it indicates the signal is
strong enough to operate without
amplification.
If overload does occur, the amplifier
will reset automatically. The amplifier
checks the outside signal periodically
and adjusts its power for the best
performance.

Notes:
1. Nominal gain is the maximum gain at any frequency in the passband.
Average gains are: 37 dB (800 MHz uplink & downlink) 45 dB (1900 MHz uplink & downlink)
2. Nominal bandwidth is the difference between two frequencies that are adjacent to the passband where the amplification is 20 dB
lower than the passband amplification. One of the frequencies is lower than the passband and the other is higher.
3. 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.
4. The maximum power for 2 or more simultaneous signals will be reduced by 6 dB every time the number of signals is doubled.
