Installation Instructions for the Following Wilson Amplifiers: Mobile Wireless Single Band Amplifier Model #801101 FCC ID: PWO824W V IC: 4726A-824W V The term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. Inside this Package Wireless amplifier DC plug-in power cable 6‘ extension cable How it Works Low-profile antenna (Option A - see p. 6) 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. Mini Magnet Magnet Mount Trucker Mount Marine Antenna NMO Mount Before Getting Started This guide will help you properly install Wilson’s single-band, mobile wireless amplifier. It is important to read through all of the installation steps for your particular application prior to installing any equipment. Read through the instructions, visualize where all the equipment will need to be installed and do a soft installation before mounting any equipment.

Installation Diagram Inside Antenna Outside Antenna Warning: In a wireless installation, do not plug the amplifier directly into the cell phone or data card using an antenna adapter. It will damage the amplifier. Cell Phone PDA Notebook Inside Antenna DC Power Supply Amplifier Installation Diagram Universal Connector Outside Antenna Warning: In a wireless installation, do not plug the amplifier directly into the cell phone or data card using an antenna adapter. It will damage the amplifier. Cell Phone, PDA or Notebook with universal connector attached DC Power Supply Amplifier 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. Optional MagnetMount Antenna Shown Part #301103 Carefully Pull Down Door Seal Run Cable Under Seal The antenna cable may be run through the door to the amplifier. 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. Tuck Cable Under Seal 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. Figure 1 Figure 2 To Amplifier 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 Power Indicator Light (located on the side) 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. 10 Amplifier Specifications Single Band 800 MHz Specifications 801101 FME-Male 50 ohms 5.5 x 4.3 x 1.4 inch or 14 x 10.8 x 3.5 cm 1.32 lbs or 0.6 kg 824-894 MHz Model Number Connectors Impedance (input/output) Dimensions Weight Frequency Passband Gain (nominal) (uplink/downlink) 43 dB / 43 dB (uplink/downlink) 50 MHz / 50 MHz 20 dB Bandwidth (nominal) Power output for single cell phone (uplink) CDMA GSM EDGE AMPS Power output (uplink) for multiple cell phones: Number of cell phones +33.3 dBm +32.0 dBm +31.5 dBm +31.6 dBm Maximum Power +20.3 dBm +16.8 dBm +14.3 dBm +12.3 dBm +10.8 dBm Power output for single received channel (downlink) CDMA GSM EDGE AMPS Power output for multiple received channels (downlink).

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.
