1. PURPOSE OF THE AMPLIFIER
The PCS Smart TechnologyTM Amplier improves RF coverage for areas in which low signal
strength is a concern.
2. PACKAGE CONTENTS
2.1 Amplier
2.2 AC/DC 110 volt Power Supply
3. HOW THE AMPLIFIER FUNCTIONS
The signal is received by the outside antenna from the cell site. The signal is then
AMPLIFIED and transmitted to your phone through the inside antenna. When the phone
transmits, the signal is received by the inside antenna and then AMPLIFIED and transmitted
to the cell site through the outside antenna.
4. AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION (see illustration on pg. 4 & 5)
4.1 Installing the Wilson Cellular Outside Antenna
WARNING: The outside antenna used with this amplier must be xed-mounted on
an outdoor permanent structure with a separation of at least 20 feet from all persons
during normal operation.
4.1.1 Select a location on the roof using your phone in test mode to nd the best signal
strength. (See leaet titled PHONE TEST MODES)
4.1.2 The outside antenna should be located in an area with at least a 3 foot radius clear of
obstructions and other radiating elements.
4.2 Installing The Amplier
WARNING: Connecting amplier directly to cell phone may damage phone.
WARNING: Connect both antennas before connecting power to the amplier.
4.2.1 Mount the AMPLIFIER on a wall or ceiling using #6 screws.
NOTE: Mount the AMPLIFIER away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and/or
moisture. The amplifier needs proper ventilation. DO NOT place the amplifier
in an air-tight enclosure.
4.2.2 Connect outside antenna to the amplier side labeled “OUTSIDE ANTENNA”.
4.2.3 Connect inside antenna to the amplier side labeled “INSIDE ANTENNA”.
4.2.4 Verify that both the outside and inside antennas are connected before connecting
the AC-DC power supply to the power outlet.

4.4 Installing The Wilson Cellular Inside Antenna
4.4.1 See antenna packaging for model specic instructions.
4.4.2 The inside antenna should be centered in the weak signal area. The inside antenna
should be at least 7 feet from the oor.
FCC Separation Warning
WARNING: The inside antenna used with this amplier must have a separation
distance from all persons that is at least:
9 inches for the 2.5 dBi Dome antenna.
14 inches for the 7 dBi Panel antenna.
The amplier must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or amplier.
4.5 When covering multiple areas a 1900 MHz splitter can be used to allow for more than one
inside antenna. Extension cables can also be used if the weak signal area is located far from the
location of the outside antenna. For coax runs more than 20 feet use 9913 or equivalent coax.
NOTE: For Maximum gain (60 dB), keep a separation distance of at least 50 feet
between the outside and inside antennas. Closer spacings may be used,
but may cause the amplier to automatically reduce its gain.
NOTE: When using a Yagi antenna make sure the Yagi is pointed away from the
inside antenna.

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.
The Manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when mul-
tiple 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.
