b. The person on the roof should turn
the Outside Antenna 45 degrees
at a time. Allow 30 seconds for the
phone to register with each turn.

c. The person inside should note the
readings on the phone with each
turn. Signal readings usually appear
as a negative number. The closer the
number gets to zero, the stronger the
signal (for example, -86 dB would be
a moderately good reading while -55
dB would be an excellent reading,
and -110 dB would be a weak, or
unusable signal).

d. Once you have determined which
direction provides the strongest
outside signal, you can install the
Outside Antenna in that general
direction.

Good methods:
a. Place calls from several locations
outside your building. As you move
to different locations, note where
you get the best reception.
b. If you have a smart phone, you
can download apps that help you
identify locations of cell phone
towers or the strongest signal. Go
to the App Store and search for
“cell signal” to find available apps
for your device.
3.
Acceptable method
: Check the bar
indicator on your cell phone display
and note where the signal appears
the strongest. (Note: cell phone bars
are only an approximation of signal
strength and vary from phone to
phone.) Phones can take up to 30
seconds to reset to a new reading. Be
patient and repeat your signal check
several times.
For additional instructions on finding
the strongest cellular signal, watch the
installation video at: wilsonelectronics.com/

Installation Details
As you plan your installation, keep the
following guidelines in mind to maximize
your signal strength:
1. Maintain a vertical distance of at least
20 feet or a horizontal distance of at
least 50 feet between the Outside
Antenna to the Inside Antenna.
2. If possible, place the Inside Antenna
directly beneath the placement of
the Outside Antenna location. This
creates a maximized signal zone
within the room where the Inside
Antenna is located.
