Installing The Cradle Antenna - Wilson Electronics SIGNALBOOST DT Installation Manual

Installation Options - Cradle Antenna
The SIGNALBOOST™ DT comes with all necessary parts for installation of the cradle antenna in three
alternative locations:
• Inside on a window (suction cups or double-sided adhesive strip)
• Outside on a wall (screws, washers and anchors)
• Outside on a pole (bracket, nuts and washers)
The best location for your particular application depends primarily on outside signal strength (see page 4).
For example, if your strongest signal is obtained on the north side of the building and a suitable window
exists in that area, you may want to mount the cradle antenna inside on the glass (see page 6). If you fi nd
the strongest signal in an area with no window, an outside wall mount may be a better choice (see page
7). Or, if your particular application allows for the installation of the antenna on a roof or balcony to obtain
the strongest signal, mounting the cradle outside on a pole (not included) may be your best option (see
page 8).
IMPORTANT! Depending on your particular installation, the antenna must be positioned in the cradle
correctly. The side with the Wilson label should face in the direction of the cell tower.
Note: The amplifi er itself is designed to sit on a desk, table or shelf; however, it may also be mounted on
a wall with the included triangular bracket if you so desire (see page 9).
In all cases, you will want to insure a separation of at least 20 feet between the cradle antenna and the
amplifi er. The SIGNALBOOST™ DT comes with 50 feet of low-loss coaxial cable. Additional lengths of
cable and the necessary connectors are available through your Wilson dealer, but keep in mind that using
longer cable will result in some signal loss.
