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 4G 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 4G™
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 4G Signal
Boost installation at:
wilsonelectronics.com/Mobile4Gvideo
3. Familiarize yourself with all materials
in your product package. This will
allow you to know which pieces are
referenced in the instructions.
Installation
You can install your Mobile 4G 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 4G
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.
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 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 4G
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 4G
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.
• 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 4G 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
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.

ashing red. Contact Wilson Electronics
Technical Support Team for assistance.
Green light: A green light indicates the
Mobile 4G Signal Booster is working
properly.

wilsonelectronics.com
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 4G 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. For more detail, refer to
wirelessadvisor.com.
Troubleshooting &
Understanding Lights
The lights on the front of the Mobile 4G
Signal Booster indicate whether the
system is working or if there are problems.
Each light indicates the operation of its
labeled frequency. Take the following steps
based on the indicator light color when
using the Mobile 4G 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 4G 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.

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 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 an 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
automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut off until the Signal Booster has been manually restarted by momentarily removing
power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
