How It Works
Wilson’s Wide Band Log Periodic Directional Antenna will collect the cell tower signal and
send it through the cable to an amplifier, cell phone or cellular data card. When the cell
phone or cellular data card transmits, the signal is transferred to an amplifier or directly to
the antenna and broadcast back to the cell tower.

Antenna Installation
The antenna should be mounted as shown in the illustration above. The included
mounting bracket is adjustable and will accommodate pipe diameters from 1.25” to 2”
(pipe not included). 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 the most unobstructed line of sight
to the cellular service provider’s strongest signal. If you are using a wireless amplifier,
make sure the antenna is not pointing across your own roof.
Warning: Lightning protection is recommended for all installations (Wilson 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 antenna for best performance, connect it to your cell phone with an external
adapter and a length of coaxial cable. External antenna adapters and coaxial cables
are sold separately. Put the cell phone in test mode and turn the Antenna 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).
Antenna Adapter
An 18-inch external adapter may be required to connect the cell phone or cellular data
card directly to the antenna. The external adapter is cell phone/data card specific and
may be purchased through a local retailer. Refer to Wilson’s 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.

Important: If you are using a wireless amplifier, be sure the Antenna 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 amplifier and the rest of the system is installed and performing
correctly, weatherproof all connections.

Ultra low loss coax is recommended for lengths 20’ or greater to prevent significant signal
loss. Wilson offers WILSON 400 cable in several lengths from 20-100 feet. Wilson also
offers a wide range of phone adapters to connect your cell phone to an amplifier or directly
to the antenna. To find the adapter for your phone, visit www.wilsonelectronics.com or call
toll free 866-294-1660.
