Before Getting Started

This guide will help you properly install Wilson’s dual-band, SIGNALBOOST™ amplifi er.  

It is important to read through all of the installation steps for your particular 
application prior to installing any equipment.

  Read through the instructions, visualize 

where all the equipment will need to be installed and do a soft installation before mounting 
any equipment. If you do not understand the instructions in full, please contact Wilson

Installation Overview

The following steps provide a summary of the amplifi er/antenna installation process using 
the mini magnet-mount antenna (included with Part #811211). However, they are not a 
substitute for the complete installation instructions on the following pages, which you should 
read thoroughly.  If you are using a different antenna, follow the specifi c instructions that 
come with it.

STEP 1 Install the Antenna

For a vehicle installation, attach the antenna in the center of the vehicle’s roof and run the 
cable through the door to the amplifi er. For a home or offi ce installation, attach the antenna 
to the optional window bracket, affi x the bracket to a window with the suction cups and run 
the cable to the amplifi er. (See pages 4 and 6 for details and warnings.)

STEP 2 Install the Amplifi er

Position the amplifi er in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Run the cable 
from the antenna and attach it to the FME-Male connector labeled “outside antenna” on the 
amplifi er. (See pages 5 and 6 for details.)

STEP 3 Attach the Universal Connector

Attach the universal connector cable to the FME-Male connector labeled “Universal 
Connector” on the amplifi er. Attach the other end of the cable to your cell phone or cellular 
data card with the supplied VELCRO

®

. (See page 7 for details.)

STEP 4 Power up the Amplifi er

IMPORTANT! Before connecting the power supply, ensure that both the antenna cable and 
the universal connector cable are connected. (See page 8 for details.)
