Installation Instructions for the Following Wilson Electronic Signal Booster: AG Pro™ Quint Selectable (Band 2, 4, 5, 12 & 13) 700 / 800 / 1700-2100 / 1900 MHz In-Building Wireless Smart Technology ™ Signal Booster Model #273470 FCC: PWO273470 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 & 4. 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 20 feet of vertical separation can be maintained. Null Zone: The area under the Outside Antenna, where the Outside Antenna radiates the least. Note: A Lightning Surge Protector is recommended for all building installations (sold separately).
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.
Mount the Outside Antenna as high as possible facing the cell tower in an area with the best possible signal coverage. Note: Never point the front of a directional antenna toward the Inside Antenna. See Figures 1 & 2 on page 10. Finding the Strongest Signal When installing your Signal Booster’s Outside Antenna, aiming it towards the best signal source from you service provider is important.
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 #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.
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 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.
In some cases, multiple Inside Antennas may be required, for instance if you have multiple rooms with poor signal. A signal may be split by using a splitter (sold separately). If using more than one Inside Antenna, a separation up to 75 horizontal feet may be necessary between Inside Antennas. Refer to the configuration on pages 3 & 4.

Never point the front of a directional Outside Antenna toward the Inside Antenna. See Figures 1 & 2 above. 2.
Button Operation 1 FACTORY RESET – Pushing the “Reset” (refer to Figure 1 on page 11) button will reset the Signal Booster to max gains and restart the installation timer. Note: If the Signal Booster is unplugged, a similar situation will occur, except the manual gains will remain the same as they were before being unplugged. Power will cycle through 2 BAND SELECT – Pressing the “Band Select” button Wilson Electronics, Inc. the bands and LTE selection. SMART ® TECHNOLOGY ™ a.

Recommendation: Omni Directional Antennas are not recommended with this Signal Booster. Recommendation: Lightning Surge Protection is recommended for all in- building installations. This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
