4. If you do not know how to mount
hardware or run coax cable through
walls, ceilings and floors, get help
from a from a qualified contractor or
electrician.
We recommend you install the Lightning
Surge Protector
(859992)
. Attach the cable
from the Outside Directional Antenna to
the surge protector and ground the surge
protector.
Quick Install
NOTE: Create a “soft” install first by testing
components in your proposed locations
before securing them with hardware.
1. Select a location on the roof of
the building to install the Outside
Antenna. Make sure the antenna is
clear of obstructions that could block
the signal from the nearest cellular
tower.
2. Select a location to install the Signal
Booster that is well ventilated and
away from excessive heat, moisture,
and direct sunlight.
3. Select a location for the Inside
Antenna that is in the center of the
area where the signal needs to be
amplified and a minimum of 6 vertical
meters or 15 horizontal meters from
the Outside Antenna.

4. Run the coax cable from the Outside
Antenna to the Signal Booster and
attach it to the connector labeled
“Outside Antenna.” Connect another
coax cable to the connector labeled
“Inside Antenna” and run it to the
Inside Antenna. NOTE: Be careful
not to bend the center pins on
the connectors when securing
connections.
5. Once you have ensured all
connections are tight, connect the
Signal Booster to a surge protected
power strip with at least a 1000 Joule
rating to protect your equipment from
power surges and lightning strikes
(see page 11 for information on
lightning protection).
6. If your WilsonPro A500-3G/4G is
working working to it’s full potential,
the lights will be solid green. If
the lights are not solid green, see
troubleshooting section.
Outside Antenna Installation
1. Select a location on the roof or an
outside wall where the Outside
Antenna can be mounted without
obstruction (at least three feet of
clearance in all directions) and with at
least 6 of vertical meters or 15 meters
of horizontal separation from the
Internal Antenna.
2. After connecting the coax cable to the
antenna, run it underneath the down
side of your roof’s flashing if mounted
on the roof. Tip: Often you can follow
the route used by satellite TV cables.
If you attach the Outside Antenna to a
wall, run the cable along the outside
of the wall to the area where you want
the cable to appear on the inside of
the building, then drill a hole through
the wall where the cable will enter
the building. Caution: Before drilling
holes for the cable, be sure there are
no electrical outlets, wiring, or sewer
or water pipes you could puncture or
sever.
3. Seal any holes with silicone, cable
bushings or other waterproof sealant.
Signal Booster Installation
1. Select a location for the Signal
Booster that is away from excessive
heat, direct sunlight, moisture and
well ventilated. The enclosure must
NOT be air tight. Also, be sure the
location is near a power source.
2. Connect the coax cables to the
Signal Booster from the Outside
