How it Works
Wilson Electronics 12.5 dB, 1800/1900 MHz, Yagi Antenna will collect the cell tower
signal and send it through the cable to a Signal Booster or directly to the cell phone
or cellular data card. When the cell phone or cellular data card transmits, the signal is
transferred to a Signal Booster or directly to the antenna and broadcasted back to the
cell tower.
Antenna Adapter
An 18-inch external adapter is required to connect the cell phone or cellular data card
to the Yagi Antenna. The external adapter is cell phone/data card specific and may be
purchased through a local retailer. Refer to Wilson Electronics Adapter Guide to identify
the right adapter for your cell phone or cellular data card. The Adapter Guide is available
through a local retailer. It is also available on our web site, www.WilsonElectronics.com,
or you may call Technical Support at 866-294-1660.
Package Contents
Wilson Electronics Yagi (#301124) contents include (A) Yagi antenna with N-Female End
Connector, (B) 1 - U-Bolt, (C) 1 - Pipe Bracket, (D) 2 - 1/4” Split-Lock Washers, (E) 2 -
1/4”-20 nuts.
Antenna Installation
The Yagi Antenna should be mounted horizontally with the elements vertical. The
included mounting bracket is adjustable and will accommodate pipe diameters from
1.25” to 2” (pipe sold separately part#901117). Mount the Yagi so that there is 3 feet of
clearance in all directions around it. Position the Yagi so that it has the most unobstructed
line of sight to the cellular service provider’s strongest signal. If you are using a wireless
Signal Booster, make sure the Yagi is not pointing across your own roof.
Warning: Lightning protection is recommended for all installations (Wilson
Electronics Part #859902). Take extreme care to ensure that neither you nor the
antenna comes near any electric power lines.

Adjusting the Antenna for Maximum Performance
To adjust the Yagi Antenna for best performance, connect it to your cell phone with an
external adapter and a length of cable. External antenna adapters and cables are sold
separately. Put the cell phone in test mode and turn the Yagi in 10-degree increments while
checking the cell phone’s signal level. At each point you may need to wait a few seconds
as your cell phone updates. To find your phone’s test mode, visit www.WilsonElectronics.
com. Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -86). The larger
the number, the more powerful the signal (-75 is stronger than -84).
Important: If you are using a wireless Signal Booster, be sure the Yagi is not
pointing across the building in which you are trying to get coverage. The antenna
should point away from the building to help prevent oscillation (feedback).
Once you have obtained the strongest signal (see below), fully tighten the mounting
hardware. After the signal booster and the rest of the system is installed and performing
correctly, weatherproof all connections.
