Powering up a Wilson Electronics  

Signal Booster

1 . Never point the front of a Directional Outside Antenna toward the Inside 

Antenna . See Figures 1 & 2 on page 10 .

2 . 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 .

3 . Plug the power supply into the Signal Booster input marked “6V DC” 

(carefully, to avoid damaging the center pin) . 

Note: 

It is very important to 

power your Signal Booster using a surge protected AC Power Strip with at 

least a 

1000 Joule rating.

 Failure to do this will void your warranty in the 

event of a power surge or lightning strike.

4 . If the Signal Booster does not have a green light(s), refer to pages

  10-12 .
5 . Using multiple Signal Boosters in one installation could cause interference 

to the cell tower (except for the In-Line Signal Booster) .

6 . Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team with any questions at 

866-294-1660 or email tech@wilsonelectronics .com . Technical Support 

hours are 7 am to 6 pm MST .

Installing a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster

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 near a power 

outlet and in a closet or on a shelf .

Note:

 It is important to have adequate air ventilation. Maintain at least 6    

 

inches of clearance from surrounding objects. Be careful when    

 

plugging the connector in so as not to damage the center pins on    

 

the connectors.

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:

 For distances of 20 feet or more, use Wilson low loss cable.
