Finding the Strongest Signal
When installing your Signal Booster’s Outside Antenna, aiming it towards
the best signal source from you 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. Turn 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
signal strength from the cell tower. It is preferable to have the phone in the
test mode so the actual signal strength can be read, as bars are not the most
accurate. Go to
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 signal reading).

Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -86). The
closer you get to zero the stronger the signal. (See graph below).
