1. PURPOSE OF THE DIRECT CONNECTION AMPLIFIER
The Direct Connection Bi-directional Amplifier improves RF coverage in areas
with no signal or low signal strength. Part# 811101 Amplifies the signal on
800MHz up to 3 watts and allows for the full benefit of the outside antenna on
1900MHz frequencies. Part# 814001 Amplifies the iDEN (Nextel) frequencies
up to 3 watts.
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 800 MHz the signal is received by the outside antenna from the cell site.
The signal is then AMPLIFIED and transmitted into your phone through the adapter
(sold separately). When the phone transmits, the signal is sent to the amplifier through
the adapter then AMPLIFIED and sent to the cell site through the outside antenna.
When using 1900MHz (PCS) the signal bypasses the amplifier’s circuitry while getting
full benefit from the outside antenna.
NOTE: Amplifier #814001 does not have a 1900MHz (PCS) bypass as iDEN
(Nextel) does not utilize this frequency.

4. AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION (see illustration on pg.4)
4.1 Installing the
Wilson Cellular
Antenna
4.1.1 See antenna packaging for model specific instructions.
4.2 Installing The Amplifier
4.2.1 Select a suitable location to mount the AMPLIFIER.
• In vehicle installation - under the dash or vehicle seat
• In building installation - on a wall or ceiling
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 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 directly 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 866-294-1660.
NOTE: iDEN Antennas are recommended for iDEN Amplifier 814001.

8. WARNINGS
WARNING: Verify that both the outside antenna and adapter extension cable are
connected before powering up the AMPLIFIER.
WARNING: (MOBILE ONLY) The outside antenna used with this ampli-
fier must be mounted with a separation distance of at least 8 inches from all
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: (IN-BUILDING ONLY) Lightning protection is recommended for all
in-building installations.
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.
