Before Getting Started
This guide will help you properly install Wilson Electronics Direct Connect Signal Boosters
in both in-vehicle and in-building applications. 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. If you do have any questions
contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support at 866-294-1660.
How it Works
Wilson Electronics Signal Boosters are small, portable, 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, marine, M2M and in-building
applications.
When using a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster in conjunction with Wilson Electronics
antennas, the outside antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable
to the Signal Booster. Cell phones and cellular data cards (laptops) then communicate with
the improved signal. When a cellular device transmits, the signal is amplified by the Signal
Booster and broadcasted back to the cell tower through the outside antenna.
The outside antenna must be installed
vertically. Signal performance will be
degraded if the antenna is not vertical.
Verify that both the outside
antenna and the adapter
extension cable are connected
to the Signal Booster before
powering up the Signal Booster.
Connect the power cable to the Signal Booster
input marked “DC 12V IN” and then insert the
large end into a power socket or vehicle power
adapter.
