Installing a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster
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 near a power
outlet and in a closet or on a shelf .
Note: It is important to have adequate air ventilation. Maintain at least 6
inches of clearance from surrounding objects.
Note: Be careful when plugging the connector in to avoid bending the
center pins on the connectors.
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 .
Powering up a Wilson Electronics
Signal Booster
Never point the front of a directional Outside Antenna toward the
1 .
Inside Antenna . See Figure 2 on page 10 .
Ensure that both the Outside Antenna cable and the Inside Antenna
2 .
cable are connected to the Signal Booster
and the connections are
tight
before powering up the Signal Booster .
Plug the power supply into the Signal Booster input marked
3 .
“POWER”
(carefully, to avoid damaging the center pin) and then into a
Surge
Protector Power Strip.
If the Signal Booster does not have a green light, please see pages
4 .
10 & 11 .
If you know that only one frequency band (800 or 1900) is available in
5 .
your coverage area (or going to be used), reduce the gain control on
the frequency band that is NOT in use to the lowest setting . This will
reduce the power consumption of the Signal Booster .
Using multiple Signal Boosters in one installation may cause
6 .
interference to the cell tower (except for In-Line Signal Booster part#
806215) .

During installation mode the Signal Booster is resetting itself very quickly
to aid the installer . The Signal Booster is equipped with two indicator
lights, one for the 800 MHz band and the other for the 1900 MHz
band . For the first 15 minutes that the Signal Booster is plugged in, it is
programed for a test and alignment period . During this time, both lights
will do one of the following 4 things:
1. BLINkING GREEN
If the Signal Booster is blinking green, the Signal Booster is
operating properly.
If you are happy with the coverage area in your
building, then you are done . Blinking will stop after the 15 minute
installation period .
2. BLINkING ORANGE
The Signal Booster is experiencing receiver overload . The Signal
Booster has protection shutoff circuits to prevent the disruption of

Note: If after the initial 15 minutes you are not done with the
installation, the Signal Booster can be reset and enter installation mode
again by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply from the
Signal Booster.
