How it Works

Your new Wilson SIGNALBOOST™ Amplier has been carefully engineered to signicantly
improve the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card. Together with an antenna,

the amplier’s state-of-the-art technology is designed to increase your signal up to 10-15

times, reduce disconnects and dropouts, and increase data communication rates needed
for 3G technologies. The universal connector works with all iDEN data cards.

The antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the amplier.

The signal is then boosted and sent through the extension cable to either the universal
connector on your data card or the cradle antenna with your cell phone, which then
communicates with the improved signal. When the cell phone or data card transmits, the
signal goes through either the universal connector or the cradle antenna, is boosted by the

amplier and broadcast back to the cell tower through the antenna.

NOTE:

Use of this amplier with an antenna gain higher than 6.12 dBi on a vehicle or within
a building is in violation of FCC regulations. All Wilson mobile antennas have 6.12 dBi or
less gain. Use of this amplier with an outside xed building antenna gain exceeding 15 dBi
is in violation of FCC regulations. All Wilson Yagi antennas have gains of 15 dBi or less.

Use of antennas with higher than the above maximum allowable gains is in violation of FCC
regulations for which the offender is fully liable.

Before Getting Started

This guide will help you properly install Wilson’s dual-band, SIGNALBOOST™ amplier.

It is important to read through all of the installation steps for your particular
application prior to installing any equipment. Read through the instructions, visualize

where all the equipment will need to be installed and do a soft installation before mounting
any equipment. If you do not understand the instructions in full, please contact Wilson

Technical Support at 866-294-1660.

Installation Overview

The following steps provide a summary of the amplier/antenna installation process using

a magnet-mount or mini magnet-mount antenna. However, they are not a substitute for the
complete installation instructions on the following pages, which you should read thoroughly.

If you are using a different antenna, follow the specic instructions that come with it.

STEP 1 Install the Antenna

For a vehicle installation, attach the antenna in the center of the vehicle’s roof and run the

cable through the door to the amplier. For a home or ofce installation, attach the magnet­mount or mini magnet-mount antenna to the optional window bracket, afx the bracket to
a window with the suction cups and run the cable to the amplier. (See pages 4 and 6 for

details and warnings.)

STEP 2 Install the Amplier

Position the amplier in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Run the cable

from the antenna and attach it to the FME-Male connector labeled “outside antenna” on the

amplier. (See pages 5 and 6 for details.)

STEP 3 Attach the Universal Connector or the Cradle Antenna

Attach the universal connector cable to the FME-Male connector labeled “Universal

Connector” on the amplier. Attach the other end of the cable to your cellular data card with

the supplied VELCRO®. (See page 7 for details.) Or, attach the Cradle Antenna cable to

the amplier.

STEP 4 Power up the Amplier

IMPORTANT! Before connecting the power supply, ensure that both the antenna cable and
the cable to either the Cradle Antenna or the Universal Connector are connected. (See

page 8 for details.)
