The antenna should be mounted as shown in the illustration above.
The mounting bracket, included with antenna, is adjustable and will
accommodate pipe diameters from 1.25” to 2” (pipe sold separately
#901117). Mount the antenna so that there is at least 3 feet of clearance in
all directions around it. Position
the phone in the test mode so the actual
signal strength can be read, as bars are not the most accurate. Go to
www.WilsonElectronics.com
for help in finding the test mode for your
phone. Always make sure the person inside the building gives the signal

Selecting a Direction for the Outside Antenna
Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside Antenna.
Use a cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal from the cell tower
(see below for more information). To get the strongest signal possible, it is
very important to set up your Outside Antenna properly. The Inside and the
Outside Antenna must be mounted in such a way that they are able to pick
up the best possible cell signal on the outside of the building and provide the
best possible signal on the inside of the building. Mount the Outside Antenna
as high as possible facing the cell tower in an area with the best possible
signal coverage.
Note:
Never point the front of a Directional Antenna toward the Inside
Antenna. Refer to Figures 1 & 2 on page 10.
Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -86).
The closer you get to zero the stronger the signal (see graph above).
