Powering up a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster

Never point the front of a directional outside antenna toward the 

1 . 

inside antenna . See Figure 2 on page 12 . 

Ensure that both the outside antenna coax cable and the inside 

2 . 

antenna coax cable are connected to the signal booster

 and the 

connections are tight

 before powering up the signal booster . 

Plug the 6-volt power supply into the signal booster input 

3 . 

marked “POWER” (carefully, to avoid damaging the center pin) 

and then into a wall outlet . 

If the signal booster does not have a green light, please see 

4 . 

pages 13 & 14 . 

If you know that only one frequency band (800 or 1900) is 

5 . 

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 

lowest setting . This will reduce the power consumption of the 

signal booster . 

Using multiple signal boosters in one installation may cause   

6 . 

interference to the cell tower .
