Installation Instructions for the Following Wilson Ampliﬁer: SOHO Wireless DualBand Cellular/PCS Ampliﬁer Model # 271245, Part # 801245 FCC ID: PWO8012SM IC: 4726A8012SM The term “IC” before the radio certiﬁcation number only signiﬁes that Industry Canada technical speciﬁcations were met.

How it Works Your new Wilson SOHO Wireless DualBand Ampliﬁer has been carefully engineered to enhance the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in small ofﬁce/home ofﬁce applications. Its advanced technology is designed to signiﬁcantly improve voice and data signal quality and reduce disconnects and dropouts.
PAGE 5
Installing the Outside Antenna The antenna that communicates with the cell site should be mounted on the outside of the building—this is the preferred location and will give the best performance. Alternatively, locating this antenna inside the building near a window will also work under certain conditions. IMPORTANT: The outside antenna must have a separation of at least 24 inches from all persons during normal operation.
PAGE 6
Installing the Inside Antenna The antenna that communicates with your cell phone or cellular data card should be installed in the center of where the signal needs to be ampliﬁed. Wilson’s magnetmount, mini magnetmount, dome and panel antennas will work well with the SOHO Wireless Ampliﬁer. Outside Antenna Ampliﬁer Inside Antenna In the above illustration, Wilson mini magnetmount antennas are being used for both the outside antenna (on the window) and the inside antenna (on the desk).
PAGE 7
Installing the Ampliﬁer Select a location to install the ampliﬁer that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the ampliﬁer in an airtight enclosure. Recommended installation locations are: • On a desk or table top • In a bookshelf • On the ﬂoor In the illustration below, a Wilson Yagi antenna is being used as the outside antenna, and a Wilson dome antenna is being used as the inside antenna.
PAGE 8
Powering up a Wilson Ampliﬁer 1. IMPORTANT! Ensure that all cell phones and cellular data cards within 20 feet of the inside antenna are turned off. 2. To verify proper installation of the ampliﬁer and antennas, make sure that the distance between the inside and outside antennas is a minimum of 20 feet. 3. If you are using an Yagi antenna as a outside antenna, never point the front of the Yagi toward the inside antenna. 4.
PAGE 9
Understanding the Ampliﬁer Lights The power light PWR will turn green when the ampliﬁer is successfully powered up. When the 800 MHz or 1900 MHz lights are lit green, the ampliﬁer is amplifying the outside signal. If one or both frequency lights turn red, the ampliﬁer is oscillating. To correct this, you must increase the separation between the inside and outside antennas until all lights are green.
PAGE 10
Warnings and Recommendations Warning: A Yagi antenna must always be located so the back or side points to the inside antenna. Never point the front of the Yagi antenna toward the inside antenna – oscillation will result, causing amber light and gain reduction. Warning: Connecting the ampliﬁer directly to the cell phone with use of an adapter will damage the cell phone. Warning: Connect both the outside and inside antenna cables to the ampliﬁer before powering up the ampliﬁer.
