How it Works
Your new Wilson Electronics signal booster has been carefully engineered to significantly
improve the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in mobile applications.
Together with an outside antenna (sold separately), the signal booster’s state-of-the-art
technology is designed to increase your signal up to 10 times, reduce disconnects and
dropouts, 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 cell phone or data card
transmits, the signal goes through the inside antenna, is boosted by the signal booster and
broadcast back to the cell tower through the outside antenna.
Wilson Electronics manufactures a wide variety of antennas to help you customize your
signal booster for your specific application. Several are shown below. See your dealer or

Before Getting Started
This guide will help you properly install Wilson Electronics single-band, mobile wireless signal
booster. 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, seek professional help, or
contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support at 866-294-1660.
Warning: In a wireless installation, do not plug the signal booster directly
into the cell phone or data card using an
antenna adapter. It will damage the signal
booster.

Installing a Wilson Electronics Outside Antenna
To receive the best cell signal, select a location in the center of the vehicle’s roof at least
20 inches away from any other antennas and free of obstructions.
Follow the specific antenna installation instructions included with the outside antenna
(sold separately).
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.
The antenna cable is small enough to easily
tuck under the door seal or plastic molding.
For a more professional-looking installation,
run the antenna cable under the door seal.
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:
Warning:
The outside antenna must be installed with a separation of at least 20 inches from any
of the vehicle’s occupants or nearby persons and must not be located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or signal booster.
Do not use any type of glass-mount antenna with this signal booster. The outside and
inside antennas must be shielded from each other to prevent oscillation.
