Installation Instructions for the Following Wilson Signal Booster: AWS 70 Band 4, 70 dB Adjustable Gain In-Building Wireless Smart Technology ™ Signal Booster Model # 272365 FCC ID: PWO272365 IC: 4726A-272365 The term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
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. ( i Note: The inside panel antenna may be mounted on the wall directly under the outside antenna, in the null zone, if 20 feet of vertical separation can be maintained. Inside Antenna Null Zone: The area under the 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.
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 page 6 for more information. To get the strongest signal possible, it is very important to set up your outside antenna properly.
The outside antenna receives the cell tower signal and sends it through the cable to the Signal Booster, where it is amplified and re-transmitted much stronger through the inside antenna into the room. When the inside antenna picks up a signal from your cellular device, the Signal Booster amplifies that signal and transmits it through the cable to the outside antenna and back to the cell tower. (Note: The Signal Booster will only operate if there is an adequate signal to amplify.
Drip hole on bottom Cell Tower Outside Antenna Installation The antenna should be mounted as shown in the illustration above. The mounting bracket, included with 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.
Cell Signal Cell Tower Outside Wide Band Antenna Mounting Tips for Running Outside Antenna Cable If you are mounting the outside antenna on the roof of your building, we have found that it is easiest to run your cable underneath the down side of your roof’s flashing. If you have satellite TV service installed at your home or office, you may be able to follow the same route as the satellite TV cables that are already running from outside of your building to the inside.
Installing the Inside Antenna Find the desired location for the panel antenna. Verify that the panel antenna and the outside antenna have the necessary separation (Minimum of 20 vertical/horizontal feet if installed with Signal Booster set at a lower gain, for maximum gain you may need as much as 50 feet of separation). For optimum results the antenna should be mounted at least 6 feet off the ground.
Note: For distances of 20 feet or more, use Wilson low loss cable to prevent significant signal loss. Note: Be careful when plugging the connector in so as not to damage the center pins on the connectors. Warning: The inside antenna must have a separation distance from all persons that is at least 8 inches. 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 11. 2.

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 two indicator lights. For the first 15 minutes that the booster is plugged in, it is programed for a test and alignment period.
antenna. Continue to adjust the uplink gain and the antenna position until the light turns blinking green. Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team for assistance: 866-294-1660. 3. Solid Red If an indicator light on the Signal Booster is solid red, this indicates that the Signal Booster has shut down to prevent an oscillation (feedback). First, make sure that all the connections are tight.
This Signal Booster is supplied with separate uplink and downlink gain controls. Note: All gain controls should be set to maximum. If you have a green light, the installation is complete. If the light is blinking orange, the Signal Booster is experiencing receiver overload. Reduce the uplink (UL) gain control, without reducing the downlink (DL) gain to eliminate the overload. This configuration will eliminate cell tower interference (overload) without reducing coverage in the building.
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.
