General Your Wilson amplifier has been carefully engineered to significantly improve the performance of your phone. Together with an outside antenna, the amplifier’s state-of-the-art circuitry is designed to increase your phones signal to and from the cell site, up to 20 times greater than the phone alone. The U-Booster™ reduces disconnects and dropouts and increases data communication rates on 2G and 3G networks.

Vehicle Installation 1. Place Magnetic Roof Top Antenna To receive the best cell signal, select a location for the outside antenna that is preferably in the center of the vehicle’s roof, 12 inches away from any other antennas and free of obstructions, at least 8-12 inches from the rear or side windows or sunroof. Carefully Pull Down Door Seal Magnet-Mount Antenna Shown The outside antenna must be installed vertically. Signal performance will be degraded if the antenna is not vertical.

4. Powering up the Wilson U-Booster™ Amplifier Make sure the outside antenna cable is connected before powering up the amplifier. Connect the mini-USB plug on the power cable to the U-Boosters mini USB port located on the bottom of the U-Booster™ and insert the adapter into the cigarette lighter outlet of your vehicle. The U-Booster™ may remain on all the time. However, leaving the U-Booster™ on in a vehicle when it is not running can discharge the battery in a day or two.

Building Installation Installing a Wilson Outside Antenna in a Building Follow the specific antenna instructions included with the outside antenna (sold separately except for certain kits). These instructions assume that you are using a Wilson magnet-mount or mini magnet-mount antenna and the optional suctioncup window bracket. To receive the best signal, select a window on the side of your building where your outside signal is the strongest.

Troubleshooting SYMPTOM: Green Light always OFF 1) Make sure that the power source is supplying power to the U-Booster by checking that the light is on. 2) If the DC plug-in power supply is properly inserted, but the plug’s light doesn’t come on, then check the 12 volts from the car socket, and check the fuse in the DC plug-in power supply. SYMPTOM: Red Light always ON 1) Make sure that the antenna connector is tight. 2) Place the outside antenna on its side (see picture).
