GOOD: Rafter Mounting Option
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).
2. Using the cradle as a template, position it on the rafter in the desired
location and mark the screw holes with a pencil.
3. Drill two holes where marked, using a 3/16-inch bit and insert the
screw anchors.
4. Line up the holes in the cradle with the screw anchors and mount the
cradle to the wall using two screws and two washers (see Figure 10
on page 6). Tighten the screws with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
OK: Inside Window Mount (Packet C)
*
1. Select a location on the inside of the window as high as possible and at
least 20 feet from where the Signal Booster will be located.
2. Clean the area on the glass with the supplied alcohol prep pad.
3. Mount the outside Cradle Antenna, use the suction cups provided in
Packet C. Using a twisting motion, press the suction cups into the two
holes on the antenna cradle (see Figure 11), then press the cradle onto
the glass at the desired location.
4. 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.
5. Connect the supplied cable to the antenna and 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

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.
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. If you use both, connect them together with the supplied cable connector.
*See Note Below
* Note: For Window Installation: 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.
Powering Up the Signal Booster
1. Ensure that the distance between the Desktop
Antenna and the outside Cradle Antenna is a
minimum of 20 horizontal feet (see Figure 12).
If you are using a different antenna configuration,
see the separation guidelines for your specific
antenna or call Wilson Electronics Technical
Support Team at 866-294-1660 or
435-673-5021.
2. Never point the front of a directional Outside
Antenna toward the Inside Antenna.
3. Ensure that both the Outside Antenna cable and the Inside Antenna cable are connected to the Signal
Booster and the connections are tight before powering up the Signal Booster.
4. Plug the 6-volt power supply into the Signal Booster input marked “POWER” (carefully, to avoid damaging the
center pin) and then into a wall outlet.
5. Make sure the position of the Desktop Antenna observes the minimum required separation distance from
the outside Cradle Antenna. The Desktop Antenna must be positioned at least 20 horizontal/vertical feet
from the outside Cradle Antenna.
6. If the Signal Booster does not have a green light please see page 10 for troubleshooting tips.
Installing the Signal Booster Unit
1. Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture
and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the Signal Booster in an air-tight enclosure. Recommended
installation locations for in-building Signal Boosters are: On a shelf or In a closet, and near a power outlet.
Note: It is important to have adequate air ventilation. Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance from
surrounding objects.
2. Place the Signal Booster on a desk, table or similar surface where you have routed the cable.
3. Run the Outside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to the connector labeled “Outside
Antenna” on the Signal Booster. Run the Inside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to the
connector labeled “Inside Antenna” on the Signal Booster. Note: Be careful when plugging the connector in
to avoid bending the center pins on the connectors.

Install the Lightning Surge Protector (LSP)
close to the Signal Booster. Attach the
cable from the Outside Antenna to the surge
protector. Ensure the LSP is properly
grounded. (For RG6 cable use #859988-75
Ohm (shown), for 50 Ohm use #859902). May
be purchased at www.WilsonElectronics.com or
