When installing your signal booster’s outside antenna, aiming
it towards the best signal source from your service provider is
important . The best way of getting the strongest signal is to have
one person on the roof to rotate the outside antenna, which
is connected to the signal booster, while the second person is
watching the signal strength on the phone inside the building . This
allows you to read the signal strength from the cell tower . Turn the
outside antenna 45 degrees at a time . It is preferable to have the
phone in the test mode so the numerical signal strength can be
read since bars are not the most accurate . Go to the website
www.WilsonElectronics.com
for help in finding the test mode for
your phone . Always make sure the person inside the building gives
the signal time to arrive and register on the phone . (Between
10-30 seconds for phone to reset to the new signal reading) .
Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example,
-86) . The closer you get to zero the stronger the signal . (See figure
below)

Finding the Strongest Signal
picks up a signal from your cellular device, the signal booster
amplifies that signal and transmits it through the cable to the outside
antenna and back to the cell tower .
(
Note:
The Signal Booster will
only operate if there is an adequate signal to amplify.)
