1. PURPOSE OF THE AMPLIFIER
The Bi-directional Amplier greatly improves cell phone coverage for areas in
which low signal strength or no signal is a problem when using your portable
phone inside the car.
2. PACKAGE CONTENTS
2.1 Bi-directional Amplier
2.2 DC plug-in power supply
with ON/OFF switch.
2.3 Low Prole Antenna
(Coax Included)
3. HOW THE AMPLIFIER FUNCTIONS
The signal is received by the outside antenna from the cell site. It is then AMPLIFIED
and transmitted to your phone through the inside antenna. When the phone transmits,
the signal is received by the inside antenna. It is then AMPLIFIED and transmitted to
the cell site through the outside antenna (not included).
4. AMPLIFIER SYSTEM INSTALLATION (See Illustration on pg. 5)
4.1 Mounting the Amplier
4.1.1 Select a suitable location to mount the AMPLIFIER. The amplier
can be mounted to the selected location using screws. (Screws not
included.) Mount the AMPLIFIER away from direct sunlight,
excessive heat and/or moisture. The amplifier needs proper ventilation.

4.2 Installing the
Wilson Cellular
Inside Antenna (Included)
4.2.1 The inside antenna should be mounted about 1 foot from where the phone is
used. The best place to mount the inside antenna is shoulder height on the
side of the drivers seat. Do not mount on a surface within 4 inches of metal.
(Metal found in the seat should not effect the antenna)
4.2.2 Connect the Inside Antenna to the side labeled “INSIDE ANTENNA”
on the AMPLIFIER.
NOTE: Do not mount on a windshield.
WARNING: The inside antenna must be mounted with a separation distance of
at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from all persons and must not be colocated
in conjunction with any other antenna or amplifier.
4.3 Installing the
Wilson Cellular
Outside Antenna (Sold Separately)
4.3.1 Select an outside mounting location. For best performance try to keep
the antenna centered on the car’s/truck’s roof.
4.3.2 The outside antenna should be located in an area with at least a 12”
radius clear of obstructions, and other radiating elements.
NOTE: When using a glass mount antenna, keep the separation distance between
the inside and outside antennas at least 5ft.
NOTE: If the vehicle has a sunroof, place the outside antenna away from the
sunroof so that the inside antenna is shielded from the outside antenna.
WARNING: The outside antenna must be mounted with a separation dis-
tance of at least 15.5 inches from any of the vehicle occupants
or nearby persons and must not be co-located or operating
in conjunction with any other antenna or amplifier. Use of a
cellular amplifier with antenna gains higher than 5.12dBi is
in violation of FCC regulations for which the offender is fully
liable. All Wilson Mobile Antennas are 5.12dBi or less.
4.3.3 Connect the Outside Antenna to the AMPLIFIER side labeled
“OUTSIDE ANTENNA”.
4.4 Connect the 12V Power Supply
4.4.1 Connect the large end of the 12V Power Supply into your cigarette lighter and
the other end into the input on your amplier labeled “DC 6V IN”.

4.5 Overload Indicators
4.5.1
PWR - Power Indicator Light – Indicates power to the unit.
800 MHz & 1900 MHz dual color Green/Red indicators
Green – Amplier is operating properly.
Red – Indicates the amplier is oscillating (needs more separation between
the Inside and Outside Antennas) and/or the cell sites signal is strong and the
amplier has powered down. (see below)
Oscillation – Try moving the outside antenna to a different location,
this will create more separation from the inside antenna. The inside
antenna should be mounted within one foot (1’) of where the cell phone
is being used.
Strong Cell Signal – The amplier is designed to power down when the
cell site signal is strong. If you are installing the amplier where the
cell signal is strong, go to an area with low signal strength and verify
that the light turns to Green.

6. FEATURES
Wireless Operation - No Physical Connection to Cellphone
The Amplier greatly improves signal strength inside a vehicle without a
physical connection to your phone. It also allows multiple phones to be used
simultaneously.
Advanced Electronics Receive & Transmit Better Than Your Cellphone
The Wilson Cellular Amplier has a better receiver than what’s in your
cellphone. Its advanced electronics are very sensitive and able to receive
weak signals that would go undetected by most cellphones. It also has a better
transmitter with more than double the power of your cellphone. This allows
your voice to be heard by distant cell sites, increasing coverage up to 50 miles
or more.

WARNING: Verify that both the outside antenna and then inside antenna are connected
before powering up the amplier.
WARNING: The outside antenna must be mounted with a separation distance of at least 15.5
inches from any of the vehicle occupants or nearby persons and must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or amplifier. Use
of a cellular amplifier with antenna gains higher than 5.12dBi is in violation
of FCC regulations for which the offender is fully liable. All Wilson Mobile
Antennas are 5.12dBi or less.
WARNING: The inside antenna must be mounted with a separation distance of at least 1 inch
(2.5 cm) from all persons and must not be colocated in conjunction with any
other antenna or amplifier.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of this device.
Leaving the amplifier on in an unused vehicle for days may drain your battery. This can
be avoided by plugging into an ignition switched outlet.
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 inter-
ference 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.
In order to prevent excessive input levels from distorting or otherwise overdriving this
amplifier, the maximum uplink RF output is 35 dBm, and the maximum downlink RF
output is 10 dBm. When an input tends to create greater than these maximum levels, a
switching circuit will reduce the RF output by as much as 50 dB.
The voltage and current into the final amplification stage are: TX: 5VDC 0.5A-1.5A
RX: 3.6VDC 50mA
