SIGNALBOOST™ DT Installation Instructions

12

I have a Nextel phone – will the SIGNALBOOST™ DT boost that signal?

The SIGNALBOOST™ DT is designed to work with both the Cellular (800 MHz) and PCS (1900 MHz) 
bands, but not the iDEN/Nextel frequency. Wilson offers specifi c amplifi ers for iDEN/Nextel users. Visit 
www.wilsonelectronics.com for details.

Can I use my own cable for my installation?

The low-loss RG6 cable included with your product has been specifi cally selected for the 
SIGNALBOOST™ DT. Use of another type or longer length of cable will likely degrade the system’s 
performance.

There are frequently several people using cell phones in my building at the same time – will the 
SIGNALBOOST™ DT improve the signal for all of them?

Absolutely! The SIGNALBOOST™ DT is designed to support multiple users simultaneously.

I have questions about my installation – where can I get some help?

Wilson’s Technical Support representatives are just a phone call or email away. Call 866-294-1660 or 
435-673-5021, or send an email to [email protected].
