1. PURPOSE OF THE AMPLIFIER
This Wilson Smart Technology™ Amplifier 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 Amplifier
• DC plug-in power supply
• Low Profile 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 thenAMPLIFIED
and transmitted to your phone through the inside antenna. When the phone transmits,
the signal is received by the inside antenna. It is thenAMPLIFIED 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 Amplifier
4.1.1 Select a suitable location to mount the AMPLIFIER. The amplifier
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 Amplifier
or similar to the Low Profile 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 Profile
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.

as close as possible to the phones
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 OutsideAntenna to theAMPLIFIER side labeled “OUTSIDEANTENNA”.
NOTE: Do not place the outside antenna in the vehicle without turning the amplifier off.
For example, when at the car wash. This will cause damage to your amplifier.
NOTE: Do not use a glass mounted antenna with a mobile wireless amplifier.
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 amplifier. 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 – Amplifier is operating properly.
Red – Indicates the amplifier is oscillating (needs more separation between
the Inside and Outside Antennas) and/or the cell sites signal is strong and the
amplifier 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 amplifier is designed to power down when the cell site signal is
strong. If you are installing the amplifier 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 amplification when the cell signal is strong. The amplifier is on
only when the green light is on. In the city, you may only need amplification 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 amplifier.
WARNING: Do not place the outside antenna in the vehicle without turning the amplifier off. For
example, when at a car wash. This will cause damage to the amplifier.
WARNING: The outside antenna must be mounted with a separation distance of at least 17 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 amplifier. Use of a cellular amplifier with antenna gains higher than 6.12 dBi
is in violation of FCC regulations for which the offender is fully liable. All Wilson Mobile Antennas
are 6.12 dBi or less.
WARNING: The inside antenna must be mounted with a separation 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 amplifier.
WARNING: Do not plug the amplifier directly into the phone using a phone specific adapter.
WARNING: Do not use a glass mounted antenna with a mobile wireless amplifier
WARNING: Use only the DC Power Supply that comes with the amplifier, 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: 6 V DC 3 A
RX: 3.6 V DC 50 mA

Proof of Purchase
1 YEAR WARRANTY
The Wilson amplifier is warranted for one year against defects in workmanship
and/or materials and will be repaired or replaced, at the discretion of the manufac-
turer, to the original purchaser with dated proof of purchase or sales receipt.
If you have questions about your amplifier please call technical support at
1-866-294-1660 or E-mail [email protected]
Most warranty cases can be handled by taking the amplifier and the re-
ceipt to the store where it was purchased. If inconvenient, the amplifier and a
copy of the receipt, may be sent to the factory, at purchasers expense, where
it may be repaired or replaced and returned shipping paid. Warranty does not
cover damages caused by abuse, misuse, and negligence.

This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a
maximum gain of 6.12 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than
6.12 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance
is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication.
