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).

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. Always make sure the person inside the building gives the signal time to arrive and register on the phone (between 10-30 seconds for phone to reset to the signal reading).

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. 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 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.

blinking orange, this indicates that gain should be reduced due to close proximity to a cell tower. First, turn down the corresponding gain control until you get a blinking green light. The Signal Booster is now working with reduced gain. If the gain is not adequate for good coverage, you will need to turn the gain to maximum and then rotate the Outside Antenna until the light turns to blinking green, waiting 5 seconds between each adjustment for the Signal Booster to reset.

will not be able to get maximum gain from the booster. *Note: If the antennas cannot be sufficiently separated, the booster will have to operate with reduced performance by decreasing the Gain until a green light is obtained. 4. SOLID Green The indicator lights on the Signal Booster will be a solid green after the first 15 minute installation period, if the unit is powered up and working properly.
