own hardware.
!
Warning: RF Safety: The cradle antenna, when used
with the included cable, must have a separation distance of
at least 8 inches from all persons. If the cable is shortened,
or if a different type of cable is used, or if a different antenna
is used, consult with Wilson Technical Support to verify that
the planned installation is safe. Call 866­294­1660 or 435­
673­5021, or email tech@wilsonelectronics.com.
!
Warning: Take care to ensure that neither you nor the
pole comes near any power lines during installation.
2. Insert the supplied U­bolt through the holes in the
cradle and slide one half of the bracket assembly
onto the U­bolt (see Figure 7).
3. Fitting the assembly onto the pole, slide the
second half of the bracket onto the U­bolt and
secure it with lock washers and nuts. Be sure
the cradle is at the desired height on the pole and
is rotated toward the nearest cell tower before
tightening the nuts. (Do not over­tighten the nuts.)
4. Insert the antenna into the cradle with the
Wilson insignia facing in the direction of
the cell tower. The cable connection should
protrude through the bottom of the cradle.
5. Connect the waterproof end of the supplied coax
cable to the antenna. (The waterproof end is
indicated by the silver connector ­ see photo
at left.) Route the cable as desired to where
the amplifi er will be located. Depending on the
distance between the amplifi er and antenna, you
may need one or both lengths of the supplied
cable. If you use both, connect them together
with the supplied cable connector.
