1. PURPOSE OF THE AMPLIFIER
The Smart Technology
TM
Amplifiers improve RF coverage for areas in which low signal
strength is a problem.
2. PACKAGE CONTENTS
2.1 Amplifier
2.1 Amplifier
2.2 AC-to-DC (110 volt) Power Supply
3. HOW THE AMPLIFIER FUNCTIONS
The signal is received by the outside antenna from the cell site. The signal is then
AMPLIFIED and transmitted to your phone through the inside antenna. When the phone
transmits, the signal is received by the inside antenna and then
AMPLIFIED and transmitted to the cell site through the outside antenna.
4. AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION (see illustration on pg. 4 & 5)
4.1 Installing the Wilson Cellular Outside Antenna
4.1.1 Select a location on the roof using your phone in test mode to find the best signal
strength. (See leaflet titled PHONE TEST MODES)
4.1.2 The Outside Antenna should be located in an area with at least a 3’ radius clear of
obstructions and other radiating elements.
NOTE: Mount the AMPLIFIER away from direct sunlight, excessive heat
and/or moisture. The amplifier needs proper ventilation.
DO NOT place the amplifier in an air-tight enclosure.
WARNING:
The outside antenna used with this amplifier must be fixed-mounted on
an outdoor permanent structure with a separation of at least 20 feet from all persons
during normal operation.
4.2 Installing The Amplifier
WARNING:
Connecting amplifier directly to cell phone may damage phone.
WARNING:
Connect both antennas before connecting power to the amplifier.
4.2.1 Mount the AMPLIFIER on a wall or ceiling using #6 screws.
4.2.2 Connect Outside Antenna to the AMPLIFIER side labeled “OUTSIDE ANTENNA”.
4.2.3 Connect Inside Antenna to the AMPLIFIER side labeled “INSIDE ANTENNA”.
4.2.4 Verify that both the OUTSIDE and INSIDE antennas are connected
before connecting the AC-DC power supply to the power outlet.
4.4 Installing The Wilson Cellular Inside Antenna
4.4.1 See antenna packaging for model specific instructions.
4.4.2 The Inside Antenna should be centered in the weak signal area. The INSIDE AN-
TENNA should be at least 7’ from the floor.
WARNING:
The inside antenna used with this amplifier must have a separation dis-
tance from all persons that is at least:
9 inches for the 2.5 dBi Dome antenna.
14 inches for the 7 dBi Panel antenna.
The amplifier must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or amplifier.
4.5 When covering large areas a splitter can be used to allow for more than one inside antenna.
Extension cables can also be used if the weak signal area is located far from the location of the
outside antenna. For coax runs more than 20’ use 9913 or equivalent coax.
NOTE: For Maximum gain (60 dB), keep a separation distance of at least 75 feet
between the outside and inside antennas. Closer spacings may be used,
but may cause the amplifier to (automatically) reduce its gain.
NOTE: When using the Yagi antenna make sure the Yagi is pointed away from
the inside antenna.
