1. PURPOSE OF THE DIRECT CONNECTION AMPLIFIER
The Direct Connection Bi-directional Amplifier improves cell phone coverage in
areas with low signal strength.
2. PACKAGE CONTENTS
2.1 Bi-directional Direct Connection Amplifier.
2.2 DC plug-in power supply with ON/OFF switch.
2.3 6ft. adapter extension cable.
3. HOW THE DIRECT CONNECTION AMPLIFIER FUNCTIONS
When using the amplifier, the signal is received by the outside antenna from the cell
site. The signal is then AMPLIFIED and sent to the cell phone through the adapter (sold
separately). When the phone transmits, the signal is sent to the amplifier through the
adapter then AMPLIFIED and transmitted to the cell site through the outside antenna.

4.1 Installing the
Wilson Cellular
Antenna
4.1.1 See antenna packaging for model specific instructions.
4.1.2..See Warnings (Section 7)
4.2 Installing The Amplifier
4.2.1 Select a suitable location to mount the AMPLIFIER. The amplifier 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.
4.2.2 Connect the outside antenna to the AMPLIFIER side labeled “OUTSIDE
ANTENNA”.
4.2.3 Connect the ADAPTER EXTENSION CABLE to the AMPLIFIER side
labeled “CELLULAR PHONE”.
4.2.4 An external antenna adapter is required (sold separately) to connect the
AMPLIFIER to the cellphone. External antenna adapters connect di-
rectly to the antenna extension cable.
4.2.5 Connect the DC power supply to the AMPLIFIER. Verify that both the
OUTSIDE ANTENNA and the ADAPTER EXTENSION CABLE
are connected before powering up the AMPLIFIER.
NOTE: Visit our website at www.wilsonelectronics.com for the latest adapter
cross reference chart. If your phone’s adapter is not available from
your retailer contact us at 1-866-294-6996 and we will help you
locate one in your area. For further assistance contact our technical
support Toll-Free at 1-866-294-1660.
NOTE: iDEN Antennas are recommended for iDEN Amplifier 814004.

7. WARNINGS
WARNING: Verify that both the outside antenna and adapter extension cable are connected before
powering up the AMPLIFIER.
RF SAFETY WARNING: (IN-VEHICLE ONLY) The outside antenna must be mounted with a sepa-
ration distance of at least 24 inches from any of the vehicle occupants or nearby persons. For roof mount-
ed antennas, separation distance from an occupant is the distance to the outside edge of the roof plus the
distance from the roof edge to the antenna. For antennas mounted without an intervening metal surface
(such as trunk mounted antennas), separation distance is the straight line distance between an occupant
and the antenna (measured in a straight line through the rear window for a trunk mounted antenna). The
outside antenna must not be located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or amplifier. Use
of this amplifier in mobile applications with antenna gains higher than 5.8 dBi is in violation of FCC
regulations for which the offender is fully liable. All Wilson Mobile Antennas are 5.8 dBi or less.
WARNING: (IN-BUILDING ONLY) Lightning protection is recommended for all in-building installations.
RF SAFETY WARNING: (IN-BUILDING ONLY) When using in-building, the outside antenna must be
fixed-mounted on an outdoor permanent structure with a separation of at least 20 feet from all persons
during normal operation.

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.
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 or by using the small white switch located on the power supply.
The voltage and current into the final amplification stage are: TX: 13.8 V, 4 A Peak, 1.3 A Average
RX: 5 V, 50 mA
