Recommended Outside Antenna
Directional antennas will help the installer determine the location of a signal-
of-interest or interferer. For general frequency mapping, the 314411 is
recommended because it is both directional and has wide bandwidth. This
will allow the installer to use the Signal Meter without ever having to change
antennas.
Purpose
The purpose of the Signal Meter is to assist the installation of a Wilson
Electronics Signal Booster, specically for:
• Mapping The Outside Frequency Environment
• Mounting Your Outside Directional Antenna
• Maximizing Wilson Electronics Signal Booster Coverage

Inside Panel Antenna
1. Mapping The Outside Frequency Environment
Using the Wilson Signal Meter and a Directional Antenna, the available
frequency bands, as well as the location of the associated cell tower, can be
determined by the strength of the Detected Cellular Downlink Signal.
2. Mounting Your Outside Directional Antenna
When determining the best direction to mount your Outside Directional Antenna,
the Wilson Signal Meter should be connected directly to a Directional Antenna.
3. Maximizing Wilson Electronics Signal Booster Coverage
In order to maximize your Wilson Electronics Signal Booster coverage, the
Signal Meter can be used inside the building to verify desired coverage area. If it
is determined that coverage is not sufcient, follow directions for antenna
separation and ensure the Outside Antenna is pointing at the strongest desirable
cell tower.
Check inside coverage
before & after installation
of Signal Booster system.
