product. Doing so lets
Wilson Electronics’ Cell Phone Cradle Plus offers all the convenience features of the standard cradle with the added benefit of a built-in cell phone signal antenna/coupler. Used in conjunction with one of Wilson’s cellular amplifiers, the Cradle Plus can improve your cellular signal up to 10 times and help you stay connected in places you never could before!
Here’s how the amplifier/Cradle Plus system works: A Wilson antenna mounted on the outside of your vehicle communicates
with the cell site, and the built-in cradle antenna/coupler
communicates with your cell phone. The outside antenna
collects weak cellular signals and sends them to the amplifier. The amplifier boosts those signals and sends transmits them through the cradle antenna/coupler, significantly improving the
performance of your cell phone or laptop data card. The Cradle Plus works with Wilson’s SignalBoost
amplifiers.

Clean the area of the windshield in the location 1. you would like to attach the suction cup with an alcohol wipe (included). Allow to dry. Press the suction cup at the base of the mount 2. onto the windshield with even pressure. Depress the lever above the suction cup to pump the remaining air out of the area and to achieve a strong suction mount. Bend the gooseneck to the location where you 3. would like to attach the cradle. For best perfor­mance, adjust the gooseneck so that the cradle is allowed to rest on the dashboard. See “Attaching the Cradle” on the back page.4.
Gooseneck Suction Mount
(available on some kits)
Note: State law prohibits drivers in some states from using suction mounts on their windshields when operating motor vehicles. In such cases, other Wilson Electronics dashboard or con­sole mounting options should be used. Wilson Electronics does not take any
responsibility for any nes, penalties,
or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice.
Adhesive/Screw Swivel Bracket
Gooseneck Suction Bracket
(available on some kits)
For best mounting results and long-term performance, we suggest that you choose a flat, smooth surface like the console area of your vehicle between the two front seats. If this is not available in your vehicle, you may mount the cradle on the front of the dashboard.
If mounting the cradle on a sloped area of the dash­board in your vehicle, please note that gravity may affect the adhesive over time. Use the screw mount for a more permanent attachment.
Clean the area where the bracket is to be mounted with an alcohol wipe (included). 1. Allow to dry.
2. For an adhesive mount, peel the backing to expose the adhesive and press the bracket onto the desired location in the vehicle. Note: The swivel feature allows the bracket to be positioned vertically or horizontally. Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before you attach the cradle. For a screw mount, use an ice pick or an awl to punch through the adhesive and expose the four screw holes in the bracket. You must provide the screws of an ap­propriate size for your particular application. Using the bracket as a template, mark the locations for the screws, drill holes, attach the bracket with adhesive, and tighten all screws. See “Attaching the Cradle” on the back page. 3. Note: Once the cradle is attached, you
can loosen the knurled wheel and swivel the hook to the desired angle, then re-tighten the wheel.
Adhesive/Screw Swivel Bracket
Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before you attach the cradle.3. See “Attaching Cradle” on the back page. 4. Note: Once the cradle is attached, you can
adjust the angle of the adhesive bracket by applying gentle pressure to the top or bottom of the cradle.

Attaching the Cradle
Once you have installed your selected mount in the desired location, attach the cradle by aligning the rectangular hole on its back with the hook on the mount. Grasping the sides of the cradle, slide it downward approximately 1/4 inch into place.
