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 signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. 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.
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 Per FCC rules, height not to exceed 10M (32’ 9”) above ground. Outside Antenna See RF Safety Warning (page 15) for proper installation. 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.
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 (Wide Band Directional Antenna shown) 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.
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.
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.

Understanding the Signal Booster Light 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. POWER POWER Wilson ® Electronics, Inc.
5 seconds between each adjustment for the Signal Booster to 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.

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.
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.
