For a more professionallooking installation, Carefully Run Cable the antenna cable may be run under the Pull Down Under door seal. Carefully pull down the door Door Seal Seal seal. Run the cable through the seal and push the seal back into place. This prevents constant wear and tear on the cable as the door opens and closes. The antenna cable is small enough to easily tuck under the door seal or plastic molding. Tuck Cable ...
Installing a Wilson Amplifi er ! Warning: Do not plug in the DC power supply until the outside and inside antenna cables are attached to the amplifi er. Select a location to install the amplifi er that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight or moisture and that has proper ventilation. Recommended installation locations are: · Under the seat · In the trunk · Under the dash Run the cable from the outside antenna and attach it to the FMEMale connector labeled “outside antenna” on the amplifi er. Attach the inside antenna cable to the FME Male connector labeled “inside antenna” on the amplifi er. Wilson offers two options of improved signal inside a vehicle: Option A (Wireless) offers the convenience of no physical connection to the cell phone or cellular data card. Option B (Attached) places the universal connector directly on the cell phone or cellular data card for maximum signal performance. 5 ...
Option A (Wireless) Installing a Wilson Inside Antenna Install the lowprofi le inside antenna 812 inches from where the cell phone or cellular Lowprofi le data card will be used. Antenna Amplifi er ! Warning: Do not install the lowprofi le antenna within four inches of metal. (Metal found inside the vehicle’s seat will not affect the antenna’s performance.) Place the inside antenna on the side of the driver’s seat for maximum performance. Install the inside antenna at least eight inches, but not more than 12 inches, from where the cell phone or cellular data card will be used. Install the inside antenna at the same angle as the cell phone when held in use, or place next to the laptop’s cellular data card. This will maximize the signal strength. For a more professionallooking installation, the lowprofi le antenna may be slid under the seat cover or leather, high on the driver’s seat. Warning: The inside antenna must be installed with a separation of at least eight inches from all persons and must not be located in conjunction with any other antenna or amplifi er. 6 ...
Option B (Attached) Installing a Wilson Universal Connector Amplifi er Universal Connector The universal connector must be placed directly on the cell phone or cellular data card to work properly. Attach the universal connector to the cell phone or cellular data card with the VELCRO ® included in the package. IMPORTANT: The adhesive of the gray Velcro patch that adheres to the back of your phone needs time to “cure.” For best results, do not use the Velcro connection for a minimum of 24 hours after application. The universal connector included in the package is long enough to reach the amplifi er location. This allows for ease and convenience of use. To adjust the universal connector for the best signal, go to a weak signal location where your cell phone registers only 12 bars without the universal connector connected. Then, attach the universal connector to the phone and you should see a signal improvement of 2 or more bars. NOTE: Many phones take up to 20 seconds to reset the bar indicator. Cellular data card To maximize performance, attach the universal connector as close as possible to the original antenna on your cell phone or cellular data card. For cell phones with an internal antenna, place the universal connector on the back, ...
Powering up a Wilson Amplifi er Make sure both the outside and inside antenna cables are connected before powering up the amplifi er. Connect the power cable from the DC plugin power supply to the amplifi er marked “Power” and insert the large end into DC power socket (the cigarette lighter outlet.) Warning: Use only the power Carefully insert the power cable. supply provided in this package. The power supply must be 6 V DC. The amplifi er may remain on all the time. However, leaving the amplifi er on in a vehicle when it is not running can discharge the battery in a day or two. A good option is to power the amplifi er through the ignition switch so the amplifi er IMPORTANT: Do not power up the ampli is turned on and off with the vehicle. fi er unless antenna cables are attached to amplifi er. NOTE: The aluminum casing of a Wilson amplifi er will adjust very quickly to the ambient temperature of its environment. For example, in the summer, when the inside of a car can reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the amplifi er temperature may be 150 degrees or higher. The casing will be hot to the touch, similar to a metal door handle or a steering wheel. Such high temperatures will not damage the amplifi er, nor do they pose a fi re risk to the vehicle. As recommended in these instructions, install the amplifi...
Warnings and Recommendations Warning: In a wireless installation, do not plug the amplifi er directly into the cell phone or cellular data card using an antenna adapter. It will damage the cell phone or cellular data card. Warning: Do not plug in the DC power supply until the outside and inside antenna cables are attached to the amplifi er. Warning: RF Safety: The inside antenna must be installed with a separation of at least eight inches from all persons and must not be located in conjunction with any other antenna or amplifi er. Warning: RF Safety: The outside antenna must be installed with a separation of at least 10 inches from any of the vehicle’s occupants or nearby persons and must not be located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or amplifi er. All roofmount antennas should be centrally located on the roof of the vehicle. Mirrormount antennas should be at least six inches from the ground and leave at least 20 inches of separation from any persons near or around the vehicle. Use of this cellular amplifi er with an antenna gain higher than 6.12 dBi is in violation of FCC regulations for which the offender is fully liable. All Wilson mobile antennas are 6.12 dBi or less. Separation of inside and outside antennas is very important. The metal roof of the vehicle acts as a barrier and helps shield the two antennas from each other, preventing oscillation. If the vehicle has a sunroof, it is important to separate the inside and outside antennas by at least fi ve feet. This prevents the amplifi er from overloading or oscillating. Distance between antennas through a sunroof must be 5 feet or more. 9 ...
Understanding the Amplifi er Lights The power light PWR will turn green when the amplifi er is successfully powered up. When the 800 MHz or 1900 MHz lights are lit green, the amplifi er is amplifying the outside signal. If one or both frequency lights turn red, oscillation is occurring and the amplifi er has powered down. The outside antenna needs to be moved farther from the inside antenna. Move the outside antenna on the roof of the car to the rear of the car, but at least 812 inches from the rear or side windows. Remove power from the amplifi er and reinstall power this resets the amplifi er. If the lights are now green, the oscillation has stopped and the amplifi er is working. If the red light is still on, move the antenna farther away and repeat the process. Always use a magnetmount or roof mount antenna. Do not use a glass mount antenna, as oscillation may cause continuous shutdown of the amplifi er. An amber light in either the 800 MHz or 1900 MHz position indicates overload from the cell site. The amplifi er has temporarily shut down and will automatically reset.
