How it Works
Your new Wilson Signal Booster has been carefully engineered to significantly improve the
performance of your cell phone and cellular data card in mobile applications. Together with
an outside antenna, the Signal Booster’s state-of-the-art technology is designed to increase
your signal up to 20 times, reduces dropped calls and increase data communication rates
needed for 3G technologies.
The outside antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to
the Signal Booster. The signal is then boosted and sent to the inside antenna. Your cell
phone or data card then communicates with the improved signal. When the cellular device
transmits, the signal goes through the inside antenna, is boosted by the Signal Booster and
broadcasted to the cell tower through the outside antenna.

Quick Installation Overview
Installing a Wilson Electronics Outside Antenna
To receive the best cell signal, select a location in the center of the vehicle’s roof 12 inches
away from any other antennas or windows.
Follow the specific antenna installation instructions included with the outside antenna.

Carefully

Under Seal
The outside antenna must be installed
vertically. Signal performance will be
degraded if the antenna is not vertical.
The antenna cable may run through the
door to the Signal Booster.
For a more professional looking installation,
run the antenna cable under the door seal.
The antenna cable is small enough to easily
tuck under the door seal or plastic molding.
Carefully pull down the door seal. Run the
cable through the seal and push the seal
back into place. This prevents constant
wear and tear on the cable as the door
opens and closes.
Warning: Do not plug
in the DC power supply
until the outside and
inside antenna cables
are attached to the
Signal Booster.
Warning: The outside antenna must have
a separation of at least 20 inches from all
persons during normal operation.
Warning: Do not use any type of glassmount antenna with this Signal Booster.
The outside and inside antennas must
be shielded from each other to prevent
oscillation (feedback).
