Installation Instructions for the Following Wilson Electronics Signal Booster: SignalBoost™ DT Adjustable Gain In-Building Wireless 800/1900 MHz Smart Technology ™ Signal Booster Model # 271265 FCC ID: PWO271265 IC: 4726A-271265 The term “IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. Welcome to the Wilson Electronics Family of Products! Thank you for purchasing the Wilson Electronics SignalBoost DT system.

Figure 2 *Note: For Window Installation: Most modern dual-pane windows will not pass cellular signals because of a metal oxide film applied during manufacturing. We recommend mounting the antenna outside for the best performance.

5. Insert the antenna into the cradle with the Wilson Electronics insignia facing in the direction of the cell tower. The cable connection should protrude through the bottom of the cradle. Figure 6 Figure 8 6. Connect the supplied cable to the antenna. Route the cable as desired to where the Signal Booster will be located. Depending on the distance between the Signal Booster and antenna, you may need one or both lengths of the supplied cable.

GOOD: Rafter Mounting Option Recommended: Installing the Lightning Surge Protector (sold separately) Green cable is the ground wire (not included) 1. Select a location in the buildings rafters where the outside Cradle Antenna can be mounted directly above the Desktop Antenna with at least 20 feet vertical separation (see Figure 7-2 on page 5). Install the Lightning Surge Protector (LSP) close to the Signal Booster. Attach the cable from the Outside Antenna to the surge protector.

7. If you know that only one frequency band (800 or 1900) is available in your coverage area (or going to be used), reduce the gain control on the frequency band that is NOT in use to the minimum. This will reduce the power consumption of the Signal Booster. 8. Using multiple Signal Boosters in one installation may cause interference to the cell tower. 9. If you find you still have a weak signal after powering up the Signal Booster, see signal strength figures below for additional help.

Warnings and Recommendations Warning: Warning: RF Safety: FCC regulations require that any fixed outside antenna used with this Signal Booster may not have gain (less cable loss) that exceeds 15 dBi and must be located at least 30 inches from all people. Inside antennas must not exceed 7 dBi gain (less cable loss) in the 800 MHz band or 10 dBi gain (less cable loss) in the 1900 MHz band and must be located at least 8 inches from all people.
