Warnings and Recommendations
Warning:
The Directional antenna must always be located so the back or side
points to the inside antenna . Never point the front of the Directional
antenna toward the inside antenna – this is to prevent oscillation .
Warning:
Connecting the signal booster directly to the cell phone with use of an
adapter will damage the cell phone .
Warning:
Connect both the outside and inside antenna cables to the signal booster
before powering up the signal booster .
Warning:
Use only the power supply provided in this package . Use of a non-Wilson
Electronics product may damage your equipment .
RF Safety: FCC regulations require that any fixed outside antenna used
Warning:
with this signal booster may not have gain (less cable loss) that exceeds
15 dBi and must be located at least 30 inches from all people . Inside
antennas must not exceed 7 dBi gain (less cable loss) in the 800 MHz
band or 10 dBi gain (less cable loss) in the 1900 MHz band and must be
located at least 8 inches from all people .
Warning:
Verify that both the outside antenna and the inside antenna are
connected to the signal booster before powering up the signal booster .
Note: Lightning surge protection is recommended for all in-building installations.
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:
1 . Location of the Nearest Cell Tower – Cell towers are situated to provide broad
coverage; however, there are many areas in which signal strength may be reduced by
placement of the towers themselves or local government restrictions on the height .
Rural areas generally have fewer cell towers than urban regions .
2 . Natural and Man-Made Obstructions – Signal strength can also be negatively affected
by trees, hills, weather, buildings 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 .
Your 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 outside signal and sends it through the coax cable
to the booster, where it is amplified and transmitted through the inside antenna into the
room . When the inside antenna picks up a signal from your cell phone, the signal booster
amplifies that signal and transmits it through the cable to the outside antenna and back to
the cell tower . Note: The booster will only boost if a signal is available .
