Antenna Separation
The location of the Desktop Antenna in relation to the outside antenna is very important. Poor antenna
placement increases the possibility of oscillation (feedback), which causes system shutdown (indicated by a
red light on the DT). Observe the following rules for correct antenna placement and optimum DT performance.
Rule #1 Once you find a good signal location for the outside antenna, the front of the outside antenna (the
Wilson Electronics insignia) must face toward the cell tower, and face AWAY FROM the Desktop
Antenna. The Desktop Antenna must be positioned at least 20 horizontal feet OR 15 vertical feet from
the outside antenna. See Figure 4.
Rule #2 The Desktop Antenna should be placed 18 inches or more away from the Signal Booster, with the
logo pointed away from the Signal Booster. See Figures below.
Even at 20 feet, the Signal Booster may shut down, as indicated by the red light. By moving the Desktop
Antenna further away from the Signal Booster, you may be able to change the red light to a green light,
indicating that the system is operating properly (see Figure 5).
If you are unable to maintain the 20-foot minimum separation between antennas, it may be possible to achieve
normal operation (a green light) at less than 20 feet by moving the Desktop Antenna to a different position, as
noted above, and rotating the Desktop Antenna in relation to the outside Cradle Antenna (see Figure 6). Do not
position the Desktop Antenna towards the Signal Booster unit or the outside Cradle Antenna.
If you are not able to change the red light to green in this manner, more separation is needed between the
outside Cradle Antenna and the Desktop Antenna.
