Powering up a Wilson Ampli
fi
er
Make sure both the outside and inside
antenna cables are connected before
powering up the ampli
fi
er.
Connect the power cable from the DC
plug-in power supply to the ampli
fi
er and
insert the large end into DC power socket
(the cigarette lighter outlet.)
The ampli
fi
er may remain on all the time.
However, leaving the ampli
fi
er on in a
vehicle when it is not running can discharge
the battery in a day or two.
A good option is to power the ampli
fi
er
through the ignition switch so the ampli
fi
er
is turned on and off with the vehicle.
Carefully insert the power cable.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the ampli-
fi
er unless antenna cables are attached to
ampli
fi
er.
Warning:
Use only the power
supply provided in this package. The
power supply must be 6 V DC.

Understanding the Ampli
fi
er Lights
If the light turns red, oscillation is occurring and the ampli
fi
er has powered down.
The outside antenna needs to be moved farther from the inside antenna. Move the
outside antenna on the roof of the car to the rear of the car, but at least 8-12 inches
from the rear or side windows. Remove power from the ampli
fi
er and reinstall
power - this resets the ampli
fi
er.
If the light is now green, the oscillation has stopped and the ampli
fi
er is working. If
the red light is still on, move the antenna farther away and repeat the process.
Always use a magnet-mount or roof-mount antenna. Do not use a glass-mount
antenna, as oscillation may cause continuous shut-down of the ampli
fi
er.
An amber light indicates overload from the cell site. The ampli
fi
er has temporarily
shut down and will automatically reset approximately 1,000 feet or more from the
cell site.
