How it Works
Your new Wilson SIGNALBOOST™ Amplifi er has been carefully engineered to signifi cantly
improve the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in both vehicle and home/
offi ce applications. Together with an antenna, the amplifi 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
fi ts all cellular and PCS phones and data cards. (Not designed for iDEN/NEXTEL)
The antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the amplifi er .
The signal is then boosted and sent through the extension cable to the universal connector
on your cell phone or data card, which then communicates with the improved signal. When
the cell phone or data card transmits, the signal goes through the universal connector
and the extension cable, is boosted by the amplifi er and broadcast back to the cell tower
through the antenna.
NOTE: Use of this amplifi er with an antenna gain higher than 6.12 dBi is in violation of FCC
regulations for which the offender is fully liable. All Wilson mobile antennas are 6.12 dBi or
less.

Installation Overview
The following steps provide a summary of the amplifi er/antenna installation process using
the mini magnet-mount antenna (included with Part #811211). 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 specifi 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 amplifi er. For a home or offi ce installation, attach the antenna
to the optional window bracket, affi x the bracket to a window with the suction cups and run
the cable to the amplifi er. (See pages 4 and 6 for details and warnings.)
STEP 2 Install the Amplifi er
Position the amplifi 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
amplifi er. (See pages 5 and 6 for details.)
STEP 3 Attach the Universal Connector
Attach the universal connector cable to the FME-Male connector labeled “Universal
Connector” on the amplifi er. Attach the other end of the cable to your cell phone or cellular
data card with the supplied VELCRO
®
. (See page 7 for details.)
STEP 4 Power up the Amplifi er
IMPORTANT! Before connecting the power supply, ensure that both the antenna cable and
the universal connector cable are connected. (See page 8 for details.)
