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.
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.
Turning 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).

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, refer to 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.

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
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 line
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, at
www.WilsonElectronics.com or contact

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.

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 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.

automatically reduced gain to
protect a nearby cell tower. First
turn downlink (DL) gain control
knob until the “OVERLOAD” is
replaced with “UL CH DL” refer
to Figure 6. The booster is now
working with reduced gain. If the
gain is not adequate for good
coverage, you will need to turn the
gain to maximum and then turn the
Outside Antenna away from the
cell tower until the “OVERLOAD” is
replaced with “UL CH DL” refer to
Figure 6. If the booster will not respond, turn the gain down 5 dB and
move the Outside Antenna position until the “OVERLOAD” is replaced
with “UL CH DL.”

3. BLINKING ORANGE for 800 & 1900 MHz
If the light on the Signal Booster is blinking orange the Signal Booster is
experiencing receiver overload. The Signal Booster has protection shut
off circuits to prevent the disruption of cell towers. If the light is blinking
orange, this indicates that the booster has shut down due to close
proximity to a cell tower. First, turn down the downlink (DL) gain control
until you get a blinking green light. The booster is now working with
reduced gain. If the gain is not adequate for good coverage, you will
need to turn the gain to maximum and then turn the Outside Antenna
away from the cell tower until the light turns to blinking green. If the
booster will not respond, turn the gain down 5 dB and move the Outside
Antenna. Continue to adjust the gain and the antenna position until the
light turns blinking green. Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support
Team for assistance: 866-294-1660.
4. SOLID RED for 800 & 1900 MHz
If the light on the Signal Booster is solid red, this indicates that
the Signal Booster has shut down on that frequency to prevent an
oscillation (feedback). First, make sure that all the connections are
tight. Then reduce the gain of the booster in small increments by
rotating the downlink (DL) gain control, counter clockwise, waiting 5
seconds between each adjustment for the booster to reset. Continue
this adjustment until the light turns blinking or solid green. When you
are turning down the gain, you are reducing the inside coverage area.
If the amount of coverage area is sufficient for your needs and the
light is green, the installation is complete. If the coverage area is not
large enough, it is necessary to increase the separation distance of
the antennas by moving them horizontally or vertically farther apart,
or both. Then increase the gain until the red light comes on, and then
slightly keep decreasing the gain until the green or blinking green
light appears. If after separating the antennas your coverage area is
still too small, contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team for
assistance: 866-294-1660.
Note: Reduce the downlink gain if the phone shows good signal
strength but can not make calls. This happens when the separation
between the uplink and downlink gains is too much.
If your installation takes longer than 15 minutes, it is possible to re-
enter the installation mode by disconnecting and reconnecting the
power supply from the Signal Booster.
5. SOLID GREEN
The indicator light on the Signal Booster will be a solid green after the
first 15 minute installation period, if the unit is powered up and working
properly.

Warnings and Recommendations
Warning: The Outside Antenna must always be located so the back
or side points to the Inside Antenna. Never point the front
of the Outside Antenna toward the Inside Antenna – this is
to prevent oscillation.
Warning: Connecting the Signal Booster directly to the cell phone with
use of an adapter will damage the cell phone.
Warning: Use only the correct Wilson Electronics power supply. Use
of a non-Wilson Electronics product may damage your
equipment.
Warning: RF Safety for 807180: FCC regulations require that any
fixed Outside Antenna used with this Signal Booster may
not have gain (including cable & connector losses) that
exceeds 15 dBi and must be located at least 27 inches
from all people. Inside Antennas must not exceed 4.1 dBi
gain (including cable & connector losses) and must be
located at least 8 inches from all people. The antennas
shown on page 1 meet these requirements.
Warning: RF Safety for 807380: FCC regulations require that any
fixed Outside Antenna used with this Signal Booster may
not have gain (less cable loss) that exceeds 15 dBi and
must be located at least 22 inches from all people. Inside
Antennas must not exceed 6 dBi gain (less cable loss) and
must be located at least 8 inches from all people. When
using the Inside Panel Antenna on page 1, the antenna
must be connected with at least 22 feet of RG-58 coaxial
cable. All antennas on page 1 meet these requirements.
Warning: Verify that both the Outside Antenna and the Inside
Antenna are connected to the Signal Booster before
powering up the Signal Booster.
Recommendation: Omni directional antennas are not recommended with
this Signal Booster.
Recommendation: Lightning surge protection is recommended for all in-
building installations.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

Notes:
1. Nominal gain is the maximum gain at any frequency in the passband.
2. Nominal bandwidth is the difference between two frequencies that are adjacent to the passband where the amplification is 20 dB lower than the passband
amplification. One of the frequencies is lower than the passband and the other is higher.
3. 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.
4. The maximum power for 2 or more simultaneous signals will be reduced by 6 dB every time the number of signals is doubled.
