SIGNALBOOST™ DT Installation Instructions

How it Works

Your new Wilson SIGNALBOOST™ DT amplifi er system has been carefully engineered to enhance the 
performance of your cell phone or cellular data card.  Its advanced technology is designed to signifi cantly 
improve voice and data signal quality and reduce disconnects and drop-outs.

The SIGNALBOOST™ DT works with two antennas (included).  The on-board antenna communicates 
with your cell phone or laptop data card, and the cradle antenna communicates with the cell tower.  the 
cradle antenna is designed for installation inside on a window or outside on a wall or a pole, depending on 
your preferred confi guration.

The cradle antenna collects the the outside signal and sends it through a cable to the SIGNALBOOST™ 
DT.  The signal is then boosted and sent to the on-board antenna, which communicates with your cell 
phone or data card.  When the  cell phone or data card transmits, the on-board antenna picks up the 
signal and sends it to the amplifi er where it is boosted and sent through the cradle antenna to the cell 
tower.

Note:

  While the SIGNALBOOST™ DT is designed to give you reliable signal improvement 

with the included antennas, Wilson offers a variety of optional antennas and accessories that 
enable you to customize your SIGNALBOOST™ DT to your specifi c needs.
