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) .

Mounting 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 .
