Powering Up The Signal Booster
1 . Ensure that the distance between the Desktop
Antenna and the outside Cradle Antenna is a
minimum of 20 horizontal feet (see Figure 12) .
If you are using a different antenna configuration,
see the separation guidelines for your specific
antenna or call Wilson Electronics Technical
Support Team at 866-294-1660 or
435-673-5021 .
2 . never point the front of a directional outside
antenna toward the inside antenna .
3 . 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 .
4 . Plug the 6-volt power supply into the Signal Booster input marked “POWER” (carefully, to avoid damaging the
center pin) and then into a wall outlet .
5 . Make sure the position of the Desktop Antenna observes the minimum required separation distance from
the outside Cradle Antenna . The Desktop Antenna must be positioned at least
20 horizontal feet
OR
15
vertical feet
from the outside Cradle Antenna .
6 . If the Signal Booster does not have a green light please see page 10 for troubleshooting tips .
7 . If you know that only one frequency band (800 or 1900) is available in your coverage area (or going to be
used), reduce the gain control on the frequency band that is nOT in use to the minimum . This will reduce
the power consumption of the Signal Booster .
Installing The Signal Booster Unit
1 . 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: On a shelf or In a closet, and near a power outlet .
Note:
it is important to have adequate air ventilation. Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance from
surrounding objects.
2 . Place the Signal Booster on a desk, table or similar surface where you have routed the cable .
3 . 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:
Be careful when plugging the connector in
to avoid bending the center pins on the connectors.

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 .
Ensure the lSP is properly grounded.
(For
RG6 cable use #859988-75 Ohm) .
