How it Works

Wilson Electronics Signal Boosters are bi-directional devices that deliver

service levels consistent with what would be expected in areas of high cell

network coverage. They amplify a weak or shadowed signal in mobile,

M2M, marine and in-building applications. When using a Wilson Electronics

Signal Booster in conjunction with Wilson Electronics antennas, the

Outside Antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through

the cable to the Signal Booster. The signal is then amplified and re-

transmitted through the Inside Antenna into the room. Cell phones and

cellular data cards in that area then communicate with the improved

signal. When a cell phone or cellular device transmits, the signal is

received by the Inside Antenna, amplified by the Signal Booster and

transmitted back to the cell tower through the Outside Antenna.

Reasons for Weak Cellular Signals

Anyone who uses a cell phone or cellular data card knows the frustration

of not being able to connect to or maintain a strong cellular signal. When

this occurs, it is generally due to one of two reasons:

Location of the Nearest Cell Tower – Cell towers are situated to1.

provide broad coverage; however, there are many areas in which

signal strength may be reduced by topographic features or by local

government restrictions on the height or placement of the towers

themselves. Rural areas generally have fewer cell towers than urban

regions.

Natural and Man-Made Obstructions – Signal strength can also2.

be negatively affected by trees, hills, buildings, weather, and other

obstructions. You may be relatively close to a cell tower but still unable

to make a call. This often occurs in homes, offices and other buildings

in which stucco, concrete or metal walls may block the signal.

The Signal Booster works with two antennas. The Inside Antenna

communicates with your cell phone and the OutsideAntenna communicates

with the cell tower. The Outside Antenna receives the cell tower signal and

sends it through the cable to the Signal Booster, where it is amplified and

transmitted through the Inside Antenna into the room. When the Inside

Antenna picks up a signal from your cellular device, the Signal Booster

amplifies that signal and transmits it through the cable, then through the

Outside Antenna and back to the cell tower.

Note: The Signal Booster will only operate if there is an adequate signal

to amplify.

Outside Antenna Installation

The antenna should be mounted as shown in the illustration above.

The mounting bracket, included with antenna, is adjustable and will

accommodate pipe diameters from 1.25” to 2” (pipe sold separately

#901117). Mount the antenna so that there is at least 3 feet of clearance

in all directions around it. Position the antenna so that it has an

unobstructed line of sight to the cell tower’s strongest signal. Make sure

Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team with any questions at 866-294-1660

or email: [email protected]. Mon.- Fri. Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MST.

Selecting a Direction for the Outside Antenna

Before selecting a location on the roof of the building to install the

Outside Antenna, see page 7 for additional instructions. Use a cell phone

in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower (refer to page

5 for more information). To get the strongest signal possible, it is very

important to set up your Outside Antenna properly. The Inside and the

Outside Antenna must be mounted in such a way that they are able to

pick up the best possible cell signal on the outside of the building and

provide the best possible signal on the inside of the building. Mount the

Outside Antenna as high as possible facing the cell tower in an area with

the best possible signal coverage.

Note:

Never point the front of a directional antenna toward the Inside

Antenna. See Figures 1 & 2 on page 10.

the antenna is not pointing across your own roof or at the Inside Antenna

as this will cause the oscillation protection circuitry to shut down the

Signal Booster.

Warning:

Lightning protection is recommended for all installations

(#859902-50 Ohm shown below). Take extreme care to ensure

that neither you nor the antenna comes near any electric power lines.

Installing Lightning Protection (sold separately)

Install the Lightning Surge

Protector (LSP) close to the Signal

Booster. Attach the cable from

the Outside Antenna to the surge

protector, using a short length of

low loss cable; attach one end

to the LSP and the other to the

Outside Antenna connector on the

Signal Booster. Ensure the LSP is

properly grounded (ground wire not

included). LSP sold separately, go

to www.WilsonElectronics.com or

call 800-204-4104 to order.

Finding the Strongest Signal

When installing your Signal Booster’s Outside Antenna, aiming it towards

the best signal source from you service provider is important. The

best way of getting the strongest signal is to have one person on the

roof to rotate the Outside Antenna, which is connected to the Signal

Booster. Turnt the Outside Antenna about 45 degrees at a time, while the

second person is watching the signal strength on the phone inside the

building. This allows you to read the signal strength from the cell tower.

It is preferable to have the phone in the test mode so the actual signal

strength can be read, as bars are not the most accurate. Go to

www.WilsonElectronics.com for help in finding the test mode for your

phone. Always make sure the person inside the building gives the signal

time to arrive and register on the phone (between 10-30 seconds for

phone to reset to the signal reading).

Mounting Tips for Running Outside

Antenna Cable

If you are mounting the Outside Antenna on the roof of your building, we

have found that it is easiest to run your cable underneath the down side

of your roof’s flashing. If you have satellite TV service installed you may

be able to follow the same route as the satellite TV cables that are already

running from outside of your building to the inside.

After routing the cable, we recommend sealing any areas where the cable

passes into the building with cable bushings, silicone or a silicone-type

sealant to keep your installation from leaking. If you are mounting the

Outside Antenna to the outside wall of your home or building, the simplest

way is to run the cable on the outside of the wall and attach it to the

exterior of your home or office. Then drill a hole through the wall where you

want the cable to appear on the inside of the building. Before drilling, make

sure that there are no electrical outlets, sewer or water pipes, or electrical

wiring in the wall that you are about to drill through as this could potentially

harm you or damage the building.

After drilling the required hole, run the cable through and seal it with

cable bushings or a silicone-type sealant to enclose the hole that you

have created. In some instances, it may be possible to run the cable up

into the fascia of the attic overhang. In this circumstance, the cable will

be accessible in the attic for further routing.

Installing the Inside Antenna

(Instructions are for optional Panel Antenna)

Select a location for the Inside Antenna, preferably in the center of where

the signal needs to be amplified. A minimum separation distance of 20

vertical feet (within the null zone) or 50 horizontal feet is necessary

for proper operation. If the inside coverage is not sufficient you may

need as much as 75 feet of horizontal separation. Refer to installation

diagram on pages 3 & 4.

or email: [email protected]. Mon.- Fri. Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MST.

Warning: An Inside Antenna must have a separation distance from

all persons that is at least 8 inches for the Panel Antenna.

In some cases, multiple Inside Antennas may be required, for instance if

you have multiple rooms with poor signal. A signal may be split by using

a splitter (sold separately). If using more than one Inside Antenna, a

separation up to 75 horizontal feet may be necessary between Inside

Antennas. Refer to the configuration on pages 3 & 4.

Installing a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster

Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive

heat, direct sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not

place the Signal Booster in an air-tight enclosure. Recommended

installation locations for in-building Signal Boosters are near a power

outlet and in a closet or on a shelf.

Note: It is important to have adequate air ventilation. Maintain at least

6 inches of clearance from surrounding objects. Be careful when

plugging the connector in so as not to damage the center pins on

the connectors.

Run the Outside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to

the connector labeled “Outside Antenna” on the Signal Booster. Run the

Inside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to the connector

labeled “Inside Antenna” on the Signal Booster.

Note:

For distances of 20 feet or more, use Wilson low loss cable.

Note:

It is very important to power your Signal Booster using a surge

protected AC Power Strip with at least a 1000 Joule rating. Failure to

do this will void your warranty in the event of a power surge or lightning

strike.
