Page 4: How It Works
How it Works Your new Wilson SOHO Wireless DualBand Amplifi er has been carefully engineered to enhance the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in small offi ce/home offi ce applications. Its advanced technology is designed to signifi cantly improve voice and data signal quality and reduce disconnects and dropouts. The amplifi er works with two antennas (sold separately): one communicates with the cell site (the outside antenna) and the other communicates with your cell phone or laptop data card (the inside antenna). The outside antenna will collect the outside signal and send it through a cable to the amplifi er. The signal is then boosted and sent through a cable to the inside antenna, which communicates with your cell phone or data card. When the cell phone or data card transmits, the inside antenna picks up the signal and sends it to the amplifi er where it is boosted and sent through the outside antenna to the cell site. Wilson Electronics manufactures a wide variety of antennas and accessories to help you customize your SOHO Wireless DualBand Amplifi er for your specifi c application (see page 2). Contact your dealer or visit www.wilsonelectronics.com. Before Getting Started This guide will help you properly install Wilson’s SOHO Wireless DualBand Amplifi er. It is important to read through all of the installation steps for your particular application prior to installing any equipment. Read through the instructions, visualize where all the equipment will need to be installed and do a soft installation before mounting any equipment. If you do not understand the instructions in full, please contact Wilson Technical Support at 8662941660. Installation Overview The following steps provide a summary of the amplifi er/installation process using a Yagi antenna as the outside antenna and a panel antenna as the inside antenna. However, they are not a substitute for the complete installation instructions on the following pages, which you should read thoroughly. Be sure to read and follow the instructions that come with your specifi c antennas. STEP 1 Install the Outside Antenna ... -
Page 5: Installing The Outside Antenna
Installing the Outside Antenna The antenna that communicates with the cell site should be mounted on the outside of the building—this is the preferred location and will give the best performance. Alternatively, locating this antenna inside the building near a window will also work under certain conditions. IMPORTANT: The outside antenna must have a separation of at least 24 inches from all persons during normal operation. Outdoor Installation For best results, use a Wilson Yagi antenna that is compatible with the frequency of your cellular service provider. A dualband trucker antenna will also work. Mount the antenna as high as possible on your building for optimum signal reception and transmission. Follow the specifi c installation instructions included with the outside antenna. Lightning protection is recommended for all outdoor antenna installations. Take extreme care to ensure neither you nor the antenna come in contact with any electrical power lines. Ensure there are three feet of clearance in all directions surrounding the antenna. ! Warning: Never point the front of the Yagi antenna toward the inside antenna oscillation will result, causing an amber light on the amplifi er and gain reduction. ! Warning: The outside antenna must be CORRECT installed with a separation of at least 24 inches from all persons during normal operation. Alternate Installation If you choose to install the outside antenna indoors, select a location near a window or Pointing toward glass door where you have the strongest cell tower existing cell signal. (See the illustration on page 5.) Follow the specifi c installation CORRECT instructions included with the antenna. 4 ... -
Page 6: Installing The Inside Antenna
Installing the Inside Antenna The antenna that communicates with your cell phone or cellular data card should be installed in the center of where the signal needs to be amplifi ed. Wilson’s magnetmount, mini magnetmount, dome and panel antennas will work well with the SOHO Wireless Amplifi er. Outside Amplifi er Antenna Inside Antenna In the above illustration, Wilson mini magnetmount antennas are being used for both the outside antenna (on the window) and the inside antenna (on the desk). Follow the specifi c instructions included with the antennas for your specifi c application. ! Warning: The inside antenna Warning: Connecting the amplifi er must have a separation distance from all directly to the cell phone with use of an persons that is at least 8 inches. adapter will damage the cell phone. 5 ... -
Page 7: Installing The Amplifi Er
Installing the Amplifi er Select a location to install the amplifi er that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the amplifi er in an airtight enclosure. Recommended installation locations are: • On a desk or table top • In a bookshelf • On the fl oor In the illustration below, a Wilson Yagi antenna is being used as the outside antenna, and a Wilson dome antenna is being used as the inside antenna. Antenna Separation Run the outside antenna cable to the amplifi er and attach it to the FMEmale connector labeled “outside antenna” on the amplifi er. Run the inside antenna cable to the amplifi er and attach it to the FMEmale connector labeled “inside antenna” on the amplifi er. Note: Be careful when plugging the connectors in so as not to damage the center pin. Connect the outside antenna to the amplifi er with 50ohm or equivalent coax cable (available in different lengths from Wilson Electronics). Place the inside antenna in the center of the area needing the amplifi ed signal. It is important to have at least 20 feet of separation between the inside and outside antennas. Closer spacing may result in oscillation, which will cause the amplifi er to automatically reduce its gain. 6 ... -
Page 8: Powering Up A Wilson Amplifi Er
Powering up a Wilson Amplifi er 1. IMPORTANT! Ensure that all cell phones and cellular data cards within 20 feet of the inside antenna are turned off. 2. To verify proper installation of the amplifi er and antennas, make sure that the distance between the inside and outside antennas is a minimum of 20 feet. 3. If you are using an Yagi antenna as a outside antenna, never point the front of the Yagi toward the inside antenna. 4. Ensure that both the outside antenna coax cable and the inside antenna coax cable are connected to the amplifi er before powering up the amplifi er. 5. Plug the 6volt power supply into the amplifi er input marked “power” (carefully, to avoid damaging the center pin) and then into a wall outlet. ! Warning: Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a nonWilson product may damage your equipment. ! Warning: Verify that both the outside antenna and the inside antenna are connected to the amplifi er before powering up the 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 attic of a house can easily exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the amplifi er temperature may be 10 or more degrees higher. The casing will be hot to the touch. Such high temperatures will not damage the amplifi er, nor do they pose a fi re risk. As recommended in these instructions, install the amplifi er in a location with adequate ventilation. Keep the area free of items that could block ... -
Page 9: Understanding The Amplifi Er Lights
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, the amplifi er is oscillating. To correct this, you must increase the separation between the inside and outside antennas until all lights are green. After increasing the separation, it is necessary to turn the amplifi er power off and back on to reset the red lights. If one or both frequency lights remain red, repeat this procedure until both are green. 8 ... -
Page 10: Warnings And Recommendations
Warnings and Recommendations Warning: A Yagi antenna must always be located so the back or side points to the inside antenna. Never point the front of the Yagi antenna toward the inside antenna – oscillation will result, causing amber light and gain reduction. Warning: Connecting the amplifi er directly to the cell phone with use of an adapter will damage the cell phone. Warning: Connect both the outside and inside antenna cables to the amplifi er before powering up the amplifi er. Warning: Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a nonWilson product may damage your equipment. Warning: The outside antenna must have a separation distance from all persons that is at least 24 inches.
