Before Getting Started
Before you install your DB Pro and start
enjoying improved cellular reception in
your facility, 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 DB Pro installation
at wilsonelectronics.com/DBProvideo.
3. Familiarize yourself with all materials
in your product package. This will
allow you to know which pieces are
referenced in the instructions.
4. Identify the location of your best
available cellular signal. See
instructions that follow.
5. Determine the best installation
locations for your Outside Antenna,
Signal Boost, and Inside Antenna.
Test the function of your DB Pro
system before nalizing installation.

Find the Strongest Cellular Signal
Before you install your DB Pro signal
booster, you must determine the location of
the best available cellular signal. This will
affect the location of your Outside Antenna
and will help you get the best performance
from your DB Pro. You can nd the
strongest signal outside your building,
typically at the highest point available, using
any of the following methods:
1. Best method:
Connect the Outside Antenna to the DB
Pro signal booster, and the DB Pro to
the Inside Antenna. Have one person
outside (on the roof for best results)
move the Outside Antenna with a
second person inside the building near
the Inside Antenna watching the signal
strength on a phone. This allows you
to read the signal strength from nearby
cell towers.
a. The person inside should have
the phone in test mode so the
numerical signal strength can be
read. This is more accurate than

the bar indicator. Go to www.
wilsonelectronics.com/test-modeinstructions for help in nding the
test mode for your phone.
b. The person on the roof should
move the Outside Antenna. Allow
30 seconds for the phone to
register with each location.
Move
c. The person inside should note the
readings on the phone with each
placement. Signal readings usually
appear as a negative number. The
closer the number gets to zero, the
stronger the signal (for example,
-86 dB would be a moderately good
reading while -55 dB would be an
excellent reading, and -110 dB would
be a weak, or unusable signal).
d. Once you have determined which
location provides the strongest
outside signal, you can install the
Outside Antenna in that general
location.
2. Good methods:
a. Place calls from several locations
outside your building. As you move
to different locations, note where
you get the best reception.
b. If you have a smart phone, you
can download apps that help you
identify locations of cell phone
towers or the strongest signal. Go
to the App Store and search for
“cell signal” to nd available apps
for your device.
3. Acceptable method: Check the bar
indicator on your cell phone display
and note where the signal appears
the strongest. (Note: cell phone bars
are only an approximation of signal
strength and vary from phone to
phone.) Phones can take up to 30
seconds to reset to a new reading. Be
patient and repeat your signal check
several times.
For additional instructions on nding
the strongest cellular signal, watch the
installation video at: wilsonelectronics.com/
DBProvideo.
Installation Details
As you plan your installation, keep the
following guidelines in mind to maximize
your signal strength:
1. Maintain a vertical distance of at least
20 feet or a horizontal distance of at
least 50 feet between the Outside
Antenna to the Inside Antenna.
2. If possible, place the Inside Antenna
directly beneath the placement of
the Outside Antenna location. This
creates a maximized signal zone
within the room where the Inside
Antenna is located.
