Reasons for Weak Cellular Signals
Anyone who uses a cell phone or cellular data card knows the frustration 
of not being able to connect to or maintain a strong cellular signal . When 
this occurs, it is generally due to one of two reasons:
Location  of  the  Nearest  Cell  Tower  –  Cell  towers  are  situated  to 
1 . 
provide  broad  coverage;  however,  there  are  many  areas  in  which 
signal strength may be reduced by topographic features or by local 
government  restrictions  on  the  height  or  placement  of  the  towers 
themselves . Rural areas generally have fewer cell towers than urban 
regions .
Natural  and  Man-Made  Obstructions  –  Signal  strength  can  also 
2 . 
be  negatively  affected  by  trees,  hills,  buildings,  weather,  and  other 
obstructions . You may be relatively close to a cell tower but still unable 
to make a call . This often occurs in homes, offices and other buildings 
in which stucco, concrete or metal walls may block the signal .
The  Signal  Booster  works  with  two  antennas .  The  Inside  Antenna 
communicates with your cell phone and the Outside Antenna communicates 
with the cell tower . The Outside Antenna receives the cell tower signal and 
sends it through the cable to the Signal Booster, where it is amplified and 
transmitted through the Inside Antenna into the room . When the Inside 
Antenna picks up a signal from your cellular device, the Signal Booster 
amplifies that signal and transmits it through the cable, then through the 
Outside Antenna and back to the cell tower . (
Note: The Signal Booster will 
only operate if there is an adequate signal to amplify.)
Finding the Strongest Signal
When installing your Signal Booster’s Outside Antenna, aiming it towards 
the best signal source from you service provider is important .  The best 
way of getting the strongest signal is to have one person on the roof to 
rotate the Outside Antenna, which is connected to the Signal Booster . 
Turning the Outside Antenna about 45 degrees at a time, while the 
second person is watching the signal strength on the phone inside the 
building . This allows you to read the signal strength from the cell tower .  
It is preferable
 
to have 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 
time to arrive and register on the phone (between 10-30 seconds for 
phone to reset to the signal reading) .
