Before Getting Started
This guide will help you properly install Wilson Electronics In-Building Wireless Smart
Technology™ Signal Boosters. 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.

Additional Required Equipment (sold separately)
• Outside Antenna (Yagi recommended)
• Inside dome, panel or low-profile antenna
• Antenna cable
How it Works
Wilson Electronics Signal Boosters are small, portable, bi-directional devices that deliver service
levels consistent with what would be expected in areas of high cell network coverage. They
amplify a weak or shadowed signal in mobile, marine and in-building applications.
When using a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster in conjunction with Wilson Electronics
antennas, the Outside Antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the
cable to the Signal Booster. The signal is then amplified and transmitted from the Inside
Antenna to the surrounding area. Cell phones and cellular data cards in that area then
communicate with the improved signal. When a cell phone or cellular device transmits, the
signal is received by the Inside Antenna, amplified by the Signal Booster and transmitted
back to the cell tower through the Outside Antenna.

Installation Overview
The following steps provide a summary of the Signal Booster/antenna installation process.
However, they are not a substitute for the complete installation instructions on the following
pages, which you should read thoroughly. Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support
Department with any questions at 866-294-1660.
STEP 1: Install the Outside Antenna
Mount the Yagi antenna so that it points toward the cell tower and away from where the
Inside Antenna will be located. Depending on your Signal Booster model, the two antennas
will need 50-75 feet of separation (see illustrations on pages 5 and 6). Lightning Surge
Protection is recommended for all in-building installations (see page 6).
STEP 2: Install the Inside Antenna
Select a location in the center of where the signal needs to be amplified. Refer to the
instructions included with the Inside Antenna. (See illustration on page 5.)
STEP 3: Install the Signal Booster
Position the Signal Booster in a well-ventilated location near a power outlet. Attach the
Outside and Inside Antennas to the Signal Booster using Wilson 400 low loss cable
(available from Wilson Electronics). See page 6 for more information.
STEP 4: Power up the Signal Booster
IMPORTANT! Before connecting the power supply, ensure that both the Inside and Outside
Antenna cables are connected. Also ensure that all cell phones and cellular data cards
within 50 feet of the Inside Antenna are turned off. Plug in the supplied power supply
into the Signal Booster and then into a AC power strip (power supply sold separately in
801175). See page 7 for more information. Wilson
Electronics recommends that all AC
power supplies for home electronics be plugged into a AC Power Strip with at least a 1000
Joule rating.
STEP 5: Check the Signal Booster Lights
The PWR light should be green, indicating that the Signal Booster has power. If all other
lights are also green, the Signal Booster is operating properly; however, if you do not have
the desired signal coverage area, refer to pages 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10.
Note: If you are using an outdoor Yagi Antenna, it must be adjusted for maximum signal.

Warning: The Outside Antenna must
be installed on an outdoor
permanent structure with a
separation of at least 20 feet
from all persons during
normal operation.

Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside Antenna. Take extreme
care to ensure neither you nor the antenna come in contact with any electrical power lines.
Using a cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower. For test
mode help, visit www.WilsonElectronics.com or call Technical Support at 866-294-1660.
Follow the specific antenna installation instructions included with the Outside Antenna.
A Yagi Antenna must be installed horizontally with the elements vertical and the drip hole on
the bottom. Ensure there is three feet of clearance in all directions surrounding the antenna.
Installing a Wilson Electronics Outside Antenna
Installing Lightning Protection
(sold separately)
Install the Lightning Surge Protector (LSP) close
to the Signal Booster. Attach the cable from the
Outside Antenna to the surge protector, using a
short length of low loss cable; attach one end to
the LSP and the other to the Outside Antenna
connector on the Signal Booster.
Ensure
the LSP is properly grounded. LSP may be
purchased at www.WilsonElectronics.com or
call 800-204-4104 (part #859902).
