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) .

Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -86) . The
closer you get to zero the stronger the signal (see graph below) .

Tips for Running Outside Antenna Cable
If you are mounting the Outside Antenna on the roof of your building, we have
found that it is easiest to run your cable underneath the down side of your roof's
flashing . If you have satellite TV service installed you may be able to follow the
same route as the satellite TV cables that are already running from outside of your
building to the inside .
After routing the cable, we recommend sealing any areas where the cable passes
into the building with cable bushings, silicone or other waterproof sealant to keep
your installation from leaking . If you are mounting the Outside Antenna to the
outside wall of your home or building, the simplest way is to run the cable on the
outside of the wall and attach it to the exterior of your home or office . Then drill
a hole through the wall where you want the cable to appear on the inside of the
building . Before drilling, make sure that there are no electrical outlets, sewer or
water pipes, or electrical wiring in the wall that you are about to drill through as this
could potentially harm you or damage the building .
