Installation Instructions for the Following Wilson Electronics Signal Booster: iDEN 800 MHz Adjustable Gain In-Building Wireless Smart Technology ™ Signal Booster Model #274080 FCC ID: PWO274080 IC: 4726A-274080 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, M2M, marine 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 (see page 5).
Installation Diagram Outside Antenna (Yagi option shown) 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.
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.
sure the antenna is not pointing across your own roof or at the Inside Antenna as this will cause the oscillation protection circuitry to shut down the Signal Booster. Warning: Lightning protection is recommended for all installations (sold separately, Part #859902-50 Ohm shown below). Installing Lightning Protection (sold separately) Install the Lightning Surge Protector (LSP) close to the Signal Booster.
the Outside Antenna, which is connected to the Signal Booster. Turning the Outside Antenna about 45 degrees at a time, while the second person is watching the signal strength on the phone inside the building. This allows you to read the signal strength from the cell tower. It is preferable to have the phone in the test mode so the actual signal strength can be read, as bars are not the most accurate. Go to www.WilsonElectronics.com for help in finding the test mode for your phone.
want the cable to appear on the inside of the building. Before drilling, make sure that there are no electrical outlets, sewer or water pipes, or electrical wiring in the wall that you are about to drill through as this could potentially harm you or damage the building. After drilling the required hole, run the cable through and seal it with cable bushings, silicone or other waterproof sealant to enclose the hole that you have created.
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.
Figure 2 Figure 1 CORRECT INSTALLATION Point antennas away from each other Outdoor Antenna Inside Panel Antenna Signal Booster INCORRECT INSTALLATION Never point antennas toward each other Outdoor Antenna Inside Panel Antenna Signal Booster 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.
2. Blinking Orange If the light on the Signal Booster is blinking orange the Signal Booster is experiencing receiver (cell tower) overload. The Signal Booster has protection shut off circuits to prevent the disruption of cell towers. If the light is blinking orange, this indicates that the Signal Booster has automatically decreased gain due to close proximity to a cell tower. First, turn down the uplink (UL) gain control until you get a blinking green light.
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 and/or the Signal Booster. Warning: Use only the power supply provided. Use of a non-Wilson Electronics product may damage your equipment.
