Understanding The Amplifi Er Lights - Wilson Electronics 271245 Installation Manual

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.
