Universal
connector
(Option B - see p. 7)
Your new Wilson amplifier has been carefully engineered to significantly improve the
performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in mobile applications. Together with
an outside antenna (sold separately), the amplifier’s state-of-the-art technology is designed
to increase your signal up to 10 times, reduce disconnects and dropouts, and increase data
communication rates needed for 3G technologies.
The outside antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the
amplifier. The signal is then boosted and sent through the extension cable to the inside
antenna or to the universal connector, depending on your application. Your cell phone or
data card then communicates with the improved signal. When the cell phone or data card
transmits, the signal goes through the inside antenna or the universal connector and the
extension cable, is boosted by the amplifier and broadcast back to the cell tower through the
outside antenna.
Wilson Electronics manufactures a wide variety of antennas to help you customize your
amplifier for your specific application. Several are shown below. See your dealer or visit
www.wilsonelectronics.com.
NOTE: Use of this amplifier with an
antenna gain higher than 5.12 dBi
is in violation of FCC regulations
for which the offender is fully
liable. All Wilson mobile
antennas are 5.12 dBi or less
in the 800 MHz band.

Installing a Wilson Outside Antenna
To receive the best cell signal, select a location in the center of the vehicle’s roof at least
12 inches away from any other antennas and free of obstructions.
Follow the specific antenna installation instructions included with the outside antenna
(sold separately).
Warning: The outside antenna must
be installed with a separation of at least 20
inches from any of the vehicle’s occupants or
nearby persons and must not be located or
operating in conjuction with any other antenna
or amplifier.
Warning: Do not use any type of glassmount antenna with this amplifier. The outside
and inside antennas must be shielded from
each other to prevent oscillation.
The outside antenna must be installed
vertically. Signal performance will be
degraded if the antenna is not vertical.

For a more professional-looking installation,
the antenna cable may be run under the
door seal. Carefully pull down the door
seal. Run the cable through the seal
and push the seal back into place. This
prevents constant wear and tear on the
cable as the door opens and closes.
The antenna cable is small enough to easily
tuck under the door seal or plastic molding.

Installing a Wilson Amplifier
Warning: Do not plug in the DC power
supply until the outside and inside antenna
cables are attached to the amplifier.
Select a location to install the amplifier that
is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight
or moisture and that has proper ventilation.
Recommended installation locations are:
• Under the seat
• In the trunk
• Under the dash
Run the cable from the outside antenna and
attach it to the FME-Male connector labeled
“outside antenna” on the amplifier.
Attach the inside antenna cable to the FMEMale connector labeled “inside antenna” on
the amplifier.
Wilson offers two options of improved signal
inside a vehicle:
Option A (Wireless) - offers the
convenience of no physical connection to
the cell phone or cellular data card.
Option B (Attached) - places the universal
connector directly on the cell phone or
cellular data card for maximum signal
performance.
Option A (Wireless)
Installing a Wilson Inside Antenna
Low-profile
Antenna
Amplifier
Install the low-profile inside antenna 8-12
inches from where the cell phone or cellular
data card will be used.
Warning: Do not install the low-profile
antenna within four inches of metal. (Metal
found inside the vehicle’s seat will not affect
the antenna’s performance.)
Place the inside antenna on the side of the
driver’s seat for maximum performance.
Install the inside antenna at least eight
inches, but not more than 12 inches, from
where the cell phone or cellular data card
will be used.
Install the inside antenna at the same angle
as the cell phone when held in use, or place
next to the laptop’s cellular data card. This
will maximize the signal strength.
For a more professional-looking installation,
the low-profile antenna may be slid under
the seat cover or leather, high on the
driver’s seat.
Warning: The inside antenna must
be installed with a separation of at least
eight inches from all persons and must not
be located in conjunction with any other
antenna or amplifier.
Option B (Attached)
Installing a Wilson Universal Connector
Amplifier
6’ Extension
Cable
Universal
Connector
The universal connector must be placed
directly on the cell phone or cellular data
card to work properly. Attach the universal
connector to the cell phone or cellular data
card with the VELCRO® included in the
package.
The universal connector and extension
cable included in the package are long
enough to reach the amplifier location. This
allows for ease and convenience of use.
To adjust the universal connector for the
best signal, go to a weak signal location
where your cell phone registers only 12 bars without the universal connector
connected. Then, attach the universal
connector to the phone and you should see
a signal improvement of 2 or more bars.
NOTE: Many phones take up to 20 seconds
to reset the bar indicator.
Cellular data card
To maximize performance, attach the
universal connector as close as possible to
the original antenna on your cell phone or
cellular data card.
For cell phones with an internal antenna,
place the universal connector on the back,
upper left-hand corner of the phone. (Figure
1) NOTE: Certain phones, such as the
Motorola RAZR, have internal antennas at
the base, rather than the top, in which case
the universal connector should be attached
at the bottom rear of the phone.
For cell phones with an external antenna,
place the universal connector directly below
the phone’s original antenna. (Figure 2)
If you have any questions as to the location
of the antenna on your phone, call Wilson
Technical Support at 866-294-1660 or visit
www.wilsonelectronics.com.

Powering up a Wilson Amplifier
Make sure both the outside and inside
antenna cables are connected before
powering up the amplifier.
Connect the DC plug-in power supply
cable to the amplifier marked “Power” and
insert the large end into DC power socket
(the cigarette lighter outlet.)
Carefully insert the power cable.
Warning: Use only the power
supply cable provided in this package.
The power supply must be 12 V DC.
The amplifier may remain on all the time.
However, leaving the amplifier on in a
vehicle when it is not running can discharge
the battery in a day or two.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the amplifier unless antenna cables are attached to
amplifier.
A good option is to power the amplifier
through the ignition switch so the amplifier
is turned on and off with the vehicle.
NOTE: The aluminum casing of a Wilson amplifier will adjust very quickly to the ambient
temperature of its environment. For example, in the summer, when the inside of a car can
reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the amplifier temperature may be 150 degrees or higher.
The casing will be hot to the touch, similar to a metal door handle or a steering wheel. Such
high temperatures will not damage the amplifier, nor do they pose a fire risk to the vehicle.
As recommended in these instructions, install the amplifier in a location with adequate
ventilation, such as under the seat, in the trunk or under the dashboard. Keep the area free
of items that could block air flow to the amplifier.
Separation of inside and outside antennas is very important. The metal roof of the vehicle
acts as a barrier and helps shield the two antennas from each other, preventing oscillation.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, it is important to separate the inside and outside antennas by at least
five feet. This prevents the amplifier from overloading or oscillating.
Distance between antennas
through a sunroof must be
5 feet or more.
Warnings and Recommendations
Warning:
In a wireless installation, do not plug the amplifier directly into
the cell phone or cellular data card using an antenna adapter. It
will damage the cell phone or cellular data card.
Warning:
Do not install the inside antenna within four inches of metal.
(Metal found inside the vehicle’s seat will not affect antenna
performance.)
Warning:
Do not use any type of glass-mount antenna with this amplifier.
The outside and inside antennas must be shielded from each
other to prevent oscillation.
Warning:
Do not plug in the DC power supply until the outside and inside
antenna cables are attached to the amplifier.
Warning:
RF Safety: The inside antenna must be installed with a
separation of at least eight inches from all persons and must not
be located in conjunction with any other antenna or amplifier.
Warning:
RF Safety: The outside antenna must be installed with a
separation of at least 20 inches from any of the vehicle’s
occupants or nearby persons and must not be located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or amplifier.
All roof-mount antennas should be centrally located on the
roof of the vehicle. Mirror-mount antennas should be at least
six inches from the ground and leave at least 20 inches of
separation from any persons near or around the vehicle. Use
of a cellular amplifier with an antenna gain higher than 5.12 dBi
is in violation of FCC regulations for which the offender is fully
liable. All Wilson mobile antennas are 5.12 dBi or less in the
800 MHz band.
Recommended amplifier installation locations are:
• Under the seat
• In the trunk
• Under the dash
Install the low-profile antenna 8-12 inches from where the cell phone or cellular
data card will be used.
Power the amplifier through the ignition switch so the amplifier is turned on and
off with the vehicle.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, it is important to separate the inside and outside
antennas by at least five feet. This prevents the amplifier from overloading or
oscillating.
Understanding the Amplifier Lights

Signal Indicator Light
(located on the back)
Power Indicator Light
Shows green when the unit is turned on.
Signal Indicator Light
A green light indicates normal operation.
An orange light indicates overload from the cell site. The amplifier has
temporarily shut down and will automatically reset.
A red light indicates that oscillation has been detected. The inside and
outside antennas are too close to one another. Increase the antenna
separation distance, then remove and replace the DC power cable to reset
the light. If it still shows red, repeat the procedure.

Notes:
1. Nominal gain is the maximum gain at any frequency in the passband.
2. Nominal bandwidth is the difference between two frequencies that are adjacent to the passband where the amplification is 20 dB
lower than the passband amplification. One of the frequencies is lower than the passband and the other is higher.
3. 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.
4. The maximum power for 2 or more simultaneous signals will be reduced by 6 dB every time the number of signals is doubled.
5. The term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
