Installation Instructions for the Following Wilson Electronics Signal Boosters:
Mobile 3G SmarTech ™Signal Booster
Model # 460002 FCC ID: PWO460002
! !
THE ALUMINUM CASING OF YOUR SIGNAL BOOSTER
WILL ADJUST TO THE TEMPERATURE OF ITS
ENVIRONMENT, BUT IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE
SIGNAL BOOSTER TECHNOLOGY. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE SUMMER,
THE SIGNAL BOOSTER CASE MAY BE AS HOT AS 150 DEGREES
INSIDE YOUR VEHICLE. THESE HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL NOT
DAMAGE THE SIGNAL BOOSTER, NOR DO THEY POSE A FIRE
RISK TO THE VEHICLE. AGAIN, BE SURE TO PLACE YOUR SIGNAL
BOOSTER IN A LOCATION WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND AWAY
FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR MOISTURE.
THE MOBILE 3G SIGNAL BOOSTER
MAY REMAIN ON, IN VEHICLES
WHOSE 12V DC POWER SOURCES
DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTDOWN WHEN THE
VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THIS COULD RESULT IN
DISCHARGING THE VEHICLES BATTERY IN ONE
TO TWO DAYS.

Before Getting Started
Before you install your Mobile 3G Booster
and start enjoying improved cellular
reception please do the following:
1. Read through all the installation
steps. This will help you know what to
expect from start to nish.
2. Watch the YouTube video
demonstrating the Mobile 3G Signal
Boost installation at:
wilsonelectronics.com/Mobile3Gvideo.
3. Familiarize yourself with all materials
in your product package. This will
allow you to know which pieces are
referenced in the instructions.
Quick Install
You can install your Mobile 3G Signal
Booster in your vehicle using the following
steps. NOTE: Before completing your
installation, create a “soft” installation by
putting the components of your Mobile 3G
Signal Booster in place and testing the
operation before mounting equipment.
1. Install the Outside Antenna. Select a
location on top of the car that is:
• Near the center of the vehicle’s roof.
• At least 12 inches from any other
antennas.
• Free of obstructions.
• At least 6 inches from any windows
(including sunroofs).
• At least 8 inches from any people.
KIT CONFIGURATION
Wilson Electronics manufactures a wide variety of antennas to help you customize your Signal Booster for your specific application.
See your dealer or visit www.WilsonElectronics.com for more information.

The Outside Antenna must be
installed vertically on a metallic
surface.
2. Run the Outside Antenna cable into
the car. The cable is strong enough
that it may be shut in most vehicle
doors without damaging the cable.
For a cleaner look, carefully pull down
the door seal, run the cable under
the seal, and push the seal back into
place. This method reduces wear
on the cable as the door opens and
closes.
3. Install the Low-Prole Inside Antenna.
• Identify a place on the right side of
the driver’s seat to mount the Inside
Antenna. The location should be at
least 18 inches but no more than
36 inches from where the cellular
device will be used.
• Install the Inside Antenna at the
same angle as the cell phone when
held in use or near the laptop’s
cellular data card to maximize signal
strength.
For a more professional look, you
can install the Inside Antenna
underneath a car seat cover or
upholstery.
• When you have tested the
functionality of your Mobile 3G
Signal Booster, mount the Inside
Antenna by peeling off the backing
of the Velcro®and attach it to your
selected location on the seat and
secure the Inside Antenna.
4. Place and connect the Mobile 3G
Signal Booster.
• Select a location for the Signal
Booster that is free from excessive
heat, direct sunlight and moisture
and that has proper ventilation.
Good locations include underneath
a seat or under the dashboard.
• Connect the wire from the Outside
Antenna to the port labeled “Outside
Antenna” on the Signal Booster.
From Inside
Antenna
From Outside
Antenna
From Power Adapter
• Connect the wire from the Inside
Antenna to the port labeled “Inside
Antenna” on the Signal Booster.
• Plug the power adapter into
vehicle’s 12V DC power supply
and attach the cord to the side of
Power Booster labeled “Power.”
NOTE: Do NOT connect the power
to the Signal Booster until you have
connected both the Inside and
Outside Antennas.
• Power up your Signal Booster by
ipping the switch on the back of
the DC power adapter on. A red
light should appear on the power
adapter.
Note: The Mobile 3G Signal Booster
may remain on, in vehicles whose 12V
DC power sources do not automatically
shutdown when the vehicle is turned
off. This could result in discharging the
vehicles battery in one to two days.
Note: Some 12V DC power sources are
shut down when the vehicle ignition is
turned to off. Refer to your vehicle owners
manual for specics related to your
vehicle.
Note: The aluminum casing of your Signal
Booster will adjust to the temperature of its
environment, but is designed to protect the

Blinking Red: If one or more of the lights
on the Signal Booster are blinking red,
this means that the Signal Booster has
shutoff due to close proximity to the mobile
device. Increase the distance between the
mobile device and the Inside Antenna until
the light is no longer ashing red. Contact
Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team
for assistance.
Green light: A green light indicates the
Mobile 3G Signal Booster is working
properly.
If you have additional questions about
the operation of your Mobile 3G Signal
Booster, please contact the Wilson
Electronics technical support team at
866-294-1660 or email
[email protected].
Additional FAQ:
What hours can I contact tech support?
Technical Support can be reached from 7:00am
to 6:00pm MST, by calling (866-294-1660), or by
email, at [email protected]
How does weather affect the performance of
my outside antenna?
Water vapor (e.g. rain, fog, snow or other
precipitation) creates an effective lter to cellular
signal. In times of heavy precipitation, you may
see less performance.
What’s the difference between the 800 MHz
and the 1900 MHz bands? How do I know
which MHz band my cell phone uses?
The Mobile 3G works with all major North
American cellular providers on the 800 & 1900
MHz frequencies. Traditionally, 800/1900MHz are
associated with voice and 3G data; while 700MHz
and 1700/2100MHz are associated with 4G data.

Signal Booster technology. For example,
in the summer, the Signal Booster case
may be as hot as 150 degrees inside your
vehicle. These high temperatures will
NOT damage the Signal Booster, nor do
they pose a re risk to the vehicle. Again,
be sure to place your Signal Booster in a
location with adequate ventilation and away
from direct sunlight or moisture.
Understanding the Mobile 3G
Signal Booster Lights
The lights on the top of the Mobile 3G
Signal Booster indicate whether the system
is working or if there are problems. The
light on the left is the power light. The other
two lights indicate the operation of 800
MHz and 1900 MHz signals, respectively.
Take the following steps based on the
indicator light color when using the Mobile
3G Signal Booster.
Lights off: If the lights are not on:
• Check connections on the power
supply to see that it is rmly plugged
into both the Mobile 3G Signal
Booster and the power source.
• If using a DC power supply in your
vehicle, ensure the power supply is
properly inserted. Then check the
12 volt power from the car socket
and the fuse. Replace the fuse if
necessary.
Red light: A red light indicates oscillation is
occurring. Oscillation is similar to feedback
between a microphone and speaker. When
oscillation occurs, the Signal Booster will
power down to protect the cell tower. To
eliminate oscillation, the Outside Antenna
needs to be moved farther from the Inside
Antenna. Move the Outside Antenna on the
roof to the rear of the car, but at least 8 to
12 inches from the rear or side windows.
Disconnect the power from the Signal
Booster, then reconnect the power to reset
the Signal Booster.

your cell service provider in a specic geographical location.

Each Signal Booster is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. The Signal Booster cannot be adjusted without factory
reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Booster will amplify, but not alter the incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase
coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Booster is not in use for five minutes, it will reduce gain until a signal is detected. If
a detected signal is too high in a frequency band, or if the Signal Booster detects and oscillation, the Signal Booster will automatically turn the
power off on that band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Booster will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1 minute.
After 5 (five) such restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut off until the Signal Booster has been manually restarted by momentarily
removing the power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor.
