Installation Instructions for the Following Wilson Electronics Signal Booster: 4G LTE 700 Band 13, 70 dB Adjustable Gain In-Building Wireless 700MHz Smart Technology ™ Signal Booster Model # 271865 FCC ID: PWO271865 How it Works Wilson Electronics Signal Boosters are 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, M2M and in-building applications.
Quick Install Overview See Installation Diagram on page 3. Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team with any questions at 866-294-1660. 1. Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and has proper ventilation. Do not place the Signal Booster in an air-tight enclosure. 2. Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside Antenna. Use a cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower.
Installation Diagram Outside Antenna Inside Antenna Preferred Method: Place the Inside Antenna in the ceiling facing down for the best coverage. Note: The Inside Antenna may be mounted on the wall directly under the Outside Antenna, in the null zone, if 15 feet of vertical separation can be maintained. Null Zone: The area under the Outside Antenna, where the antenna radiates the least. Note: A Lightning Surge Protector is recommended for all building installations.
Before Getting Started This guide will help you properly install your Wilson Electronics 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. Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support with any questions at: 866-294-1660.
Reasons for Weak Cellular Signals Anyone who uses a cell phone or cellular data card knows the frustration of not being able to connect to or maintain a strong cellular signal. When this occurs, it is generally due to one of two reasons: 1.
Drip hole on bottom Cell Tower Outside Antenna Installation The Outside Antenna should be mounted as shown in the illustration above. The mounting bracket, included with Outside Antenna, is adjustable and will accommodate pipe diameters from 1.25” to 2” (pipe sold separately Part# 901117). Mount the antenna so that there is at least 3 feet of clearance in all directions around it. Position the antenna so that it has an unobstructed line of sight to the cell tower’s strongest signal.
Selecting a Direction for the Outside Antenna Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside Antenna. Use a cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower. See below for more information. To get the strongest signal possible, it is very important to set up your Outside Antenna properly.
enclose the hole that you have created. In some instances, it may be possible to run the cable up into the fascia of the attic overhang. In this circumstance, the cable will be accessible in the attic for further routing. Installing the Inside Antenna Find the desired location for the Inside Antenna (Panel Antenna option shown).
Installing a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the Signal Booster in an air-tight enclosure. Recommended installation locations for in-building Signal Boosters are near a power outlet and in a closet, or on a shelf. Note: It is important to have adequate air ventilation. Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance from surrounding objects.
Powering up a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster 1. Never point the front of a Directional Outside Antenna toward the Inside Antenna. See Figures 1 & 2 on page 12. 2. Ensure that both the Outside Antenna cable and the Inside Antenna cable are connected to the Signal Booster and the connections are tight before powering up the Signal Booster. 3. Plug the power supply into the Signal Booster input marked “6V DC” (carefully, to avoid damaging the center pin) and then into a wall outlet. 4.
Finding the Strongest Signal Cell Signal Outside Wide Band Antenna Cell Tower When installing your Signal Booster’s Outside Antenna, aiming it towards the best signal source from you service provider is important. After you have completed the install, the best way of getting the strongest signal is to have one person on the roof to rotate the Outside Antenna, which is connected to the Signal Booster.

Understanding the Signal Booster Lights and Troubleshooting During installation mode the Signal Booster is resetting itself very quickly to aid the installer. The Signal Booster is equipped with one indicator light for the 700 MHz band and one for the power. For the first 15 minutes that the Signal Booster is plugged in, it is programed for a test and alignment period.
reset. If you do not get a green light, turn the UL gain down 5 dB and rotate the Outside Antenna. Continue to adjust the UL gain and the Outside Antenna position until the light turns blinking green. If the UL gain was reduced and the light is green and you have good signal strength but are unable to place a call, it may be necessary to lower the DL gain control to the same setting as the UL. This is because some cell systems require a balanced gain between UL and DL for proper operation.
Warnings and Recommendations Warning: The Directional Antenna must always be located so the back or side points to the Inside Antenna. Never point the front of the Outside Antenna toward the Inside Antenna – this is to prevent oscillation. Warning: Connecting the Signal Booster directly to the cell phone with use of an adapter will damage the cell phone. Warning: Use only the power supply provided. Use of a non-Wilson Electronics product may damage your equipment.
