1. PURPOSE OF THE IDEN
The IDEN Bi-Directional Amplifier greatly improves RF coverage for areas in which
low signal strength or no signal is a problem when using your portable iDEN phone
inside the car.
2. HOW THE IDEN FUNCTIONS
The signal is received by the outside antenna from the cell site. It is then
AMPLIFIED/REPEATED and transmitted to your iDEN phone through the inside
antenna. When the phone transmits it is received by the inside antenna. It is then
AMPLIFIED/REPEATED and transmitted to the cell site through the outside antenna.
3. FEATURES
Wireless Operation - No Physical Connection to Cellphone
The IDEN Amplifier 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 Amplifier has a better receiver than what's in your cellphone. Its
advanced electronics are very sensitive and able to receive small signals that would go
undetected by most cellphones. It also has a better transmitter with 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.

ILLUSTRATION
5.1 Mounting the Amplifier
5.1.1 Mount the AMPLIFIER under the dash or car seat.
NOTE: The amplifier should be mounted to the selected location using
mounting screws. (Mounting screws not included.)
5.2 Installing the Outside Antenna (Sold Separately)
5.2.1 Select an outside mounting location. For best performance try to keep
the antenna centered on the car’s / truck’s roof.
5.2.2 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 magnet mount, NMO or trucker antenna, keep the
separation distance between the inside and outside antennas at least 4ft.
When using a glass mount antenna, keep the separation distance between
the inside and outside antennas at least 5ft.
WARNING: The outside antenna used with this amplifier must be
mounted with a separation distance of at least 10 inches(25cm) from all persons
and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or amplifier.
5.2.3 Connect the Outside Antenna to the AMPLIFIER/ side labeled
“OUTSIDE ANTENNA”.

5.3 Installing the Inside Antenna (Included)
5.3.1 Connect the Inside Antenna to the side labeled “INSIDE ANTENNA” on
the AMPLIFIER.
5.3.2 The Inside Antenna should be centered in the vehicle. It can be placed in
the seat back between the seat cushion and fabric or in the vehicle
headliner.
WARNING: The inside antenna used with this amplifier must be mounted
with a separation distance of at least 8 inches(20cm) from all persons and
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or amplifier.
5.4 Connect the 12V Power Supply
5.4.1 Connect the large end of the 12V Power Supply into your cigarette lighter
and the other end into the input on your amplifier labeled “DC 12V IN”.
