Selecting a Direction for the Outside Antenna
Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside Antenna . Use a
cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower (see below
for more information) . To get the strongest signal possible, it is very important to
set up your Outside Antenna properly . The Inside and the Outside Antenna must
be mounted in such a way that they are able to pick up the best possible cell
signal on the outside of the building and provide the best possible signal on the
inside of the building . Mount the Outside Antenna as high as possible facing the
cell tower in an area with the best possible signal coverage .
Note:
Never point the front of a Directional Antenna toward the Inside Antenna.
See Figures 1 & 2 on page 10.
Warning:
Lightning protection is recommended for all installations
(sold separately #859902-50 Ohm) . Take extreme care to ensure
that neither you nor the antenna comes near any electric power
lines .
Installing Lightning Protection
(sold separately #859902-50 Ohm)
Install the
Lightning Surge Protector
(LSP) close to the Signal Booster . Attach
the cable from the Outside Antenna to the
surge protector, using a short length of low
loss cable; attach one end to the LSP and
the other to the Outside Antenna connector
on the Signal Booster . Ensure the LSP
is properly grounded (ground wire not
included) . Visit
www.WilsonElectronics.com
or call 800-204-4104 to purchase .
Finding the Strongest Signal
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 . Turning the Outside
Antenna about 45 degrees at a time, while the second person is watching the
signal strength on the phone inside the building . This allows you to read the
