1. PURPOSE OF THE AMPLIFIER
This Wilson Smart Technology™ Amplier greatly improves signal strength
inside a vehicle without a physical connection to the phone or cellular data card.
It also allows multiple devices to be used simultaneously.
2. PACKAGE CONTENTS
• Bi-Directional Amplier
• DC plug-in power supply
• Low Prole Antenna
(Coax Included)
• 6’ Extension Cable
• Small Antenna
3. HOW THE AMPLIFIER FUNCTIONS
The signal is received by the outside antenna from the cell site. It is then AMPLIFIED
and transmitted to your phone through the inside antenna. When the phone transmits,
the signal is received by the inside antenna. It is then AMPLIFIED and transmitted to
the cell site through the outside antenna (not included).
4. AMPLIFIER SYSTEM INSTALLATION (See Illustration on pg. 5)
4.1 Mounting the Amplier
4.1.1 Select a suitable location to mount the AMPLIFIER. The amplier
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 Installing the Wilson Cellular Inside Antenna (2 options included)
4.2.1A (option A) - The inside antenna should be mounted approximately 1 foot or less
from where the phone is used. The best place to mount the inside antenna is shoulder
height on the side of the drivers seat. The closer the inside antenna is placed to the
phone, the better the performance. See option A.
Do not mount on a surface near metal.
4.2.1B (option B) - For convenience, the Small
Antenna directly attached to the phone will
perform as well as a Direct Connection Amplier
or similar to the Low Prole antenna attached
directly to the phone. The Small Antenna must be
directly connected to the back of the phone using
Velcro (included). The Small Antenna will not
work away from the phone like the Low Prole
antenna. Connect the 6’ extension cable to the Small
Antenna (included). Attach Small Antenna to the
back of the phone. See option B.
4.2.2 Connect the Inside Antenna (A) or 6’ Extension Cable (B) to the side labeled
“INSIDE ANTENNA” on the AMPLIFIER.

antenna.
WARNING: Do not plug the amplifier directly into the phone using a phone specific adapter.

4.3 Installing the Wilson Cellular Outside Antenna (Sold Separately)
4.3.1 Select an outside mounting location. For best performance keep the antenna
centered on the vehicle’s roof.
4.3.2 The outside antenna should be located in an area with at least a 12” radius clear
of obstructions, and other radiating elements.
NOTE: If the vehicle has a sunroof, place the outside antenna away from the sunroof so that
the inside antenna is shielded from the outside antenna by metal. This is very important to
avoid oscillation.
4.3.3 Connect the Outside Antenna to the AMPLIFIER side labeled “OUTSIDE ANTENNA”.
NOTE: Do not place the outside antenna in the vehicle without turning the amplier off.
For example, when at the car wash. This will cause damage to your amplier.
NOTE: Do not use a glass mounted antenna with a mobile wireless amplier.
4.4 Connect the DC Power Supply
4.4.1 Connect the large end of the DC Power Supply into your cigarette lighter and the
other end into the input on your amplier. Use only the supplied power supply.
4.5 Indicators Lights
4.5.1
PWR - Power Indicator Light – Indicates power to the unit.
800 MHz & 1900 MHz dual color Green/Red indicators
Green – Amplier is operating properly.
Red – Indicates the amplier is oscillating (needs more separation between
the Inside and Outside Antennas) and/or the cell sites signal is strong and the
amplier has powered down. (see below)
Oscillation – Try moving the outside antenna to a different location, creating more
separation from the inside antenna. The inside antenna should be mounted within one
foot (1’) of where the cell phone is being used.
Strong Cell Signal – The amplier is designed to power down when the cell site signal is
strong. If you are installing the amplier where the cell signal is strong, go to an area with
low signal strength and verify that the light turns to Green.
NOTE: You do not need amplication when the cell signal is strong. The amplier is on
only when the green light is on. In the city, you may only need amplication when the
signal fades from buildings or other structures blocking the signal.

9. NOTES & WARNINGS
WARNING: Verify that both the outside antenna and the inside antenna are connected before
powering up the amplier.
WARNING: Do not place the outside antenna in the vehicle without turning the amplier off. For
example, when at a car wash. This will cause damage to the amplier.
WARNING: The outside antenna must be mounted with a separation distance of at least 15.5 inches
from any of the vehicle occupants or nearby persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or amplier. Use of a cellular amplier 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: The inside antenna must be mounted with a seperation distance of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm)
from all persons and must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or amplier.
WARNING: Do not plug the amplier directly into the phone using a phone specic adapter.
WARNING: Do not use a glass mounted antenna with a mobile wireless amplier
WARNING: Use only the DC Power Supply that comes with the amplier, or a replacement supplied
by Wilson.
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 power source.
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.
In order to prevent excessive input levels from distorting or otherwise overdriving this amplifier,
the maximum uplink RF output is 35 dBm, and the maximum downlink RF output is 10 dBm.
When an input tends to create greater than these maximum levels, a switching circuit will reduce
the RF output by as much as 50 dB.
The voltage and current into the final amplification stage are: TX: 6VDC 3A
RX: 3.6VDC 50mA
