Wilson Electronics Signal Booster:
iDEN 800 MHz Adjustable Gain In-Building Wireless
Smart Technology ™ Signal Booster
Model #274080
How it Works
Wilson Electronics Signal Boosters are bi-directional devices that deliver
service levels consistent with what would be expected in areas of high
cell network coverage. They amplify a weak or shadowed signal in
mobile, M2M, marine and in-building applications. When using a Wilson
Electronics Signal Booster in conjunction with Wilson Electronics
antennas, the Outside Antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send
it through the cable to the Signal Booster. The signal is then amplified
and re-transmitted through the Inside Antenna into the room. Cell
phones and cellular data cards in that area then communicate with the
improved signal. When a cell phone or cellular device transmits, the
signal is received by the Inside Antenna, amplified by the Signal Booster
and transmitted back to the cell tower through the Outside Antenna.

Quick Install Overview
See Installation Diagram on page 3. Contact Wilson Electronics Technical
Support Team with any questions at 866-294-1660.
1.
Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from
excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and has proper ventilation.
Do not place the Signal Booster in an air-tight enclosure.
2.
Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside
Antenna (see page 5). Use a cell phone in test mode to find the
strongest signal from the cell tower. (see page 6). Visit
www.WilsonElectronics.com to find the test mode function for your
particular cell phone.
3.
Run the Outside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to
the connector labeled "Outside Antenna" on the Signal Booster. Run
the Inside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to the
connector labeled "Inside Antenna" on the Signal Booster. See page
7 for more information on running cable. Lightning Surge Protection
is recommended for all in-building installations (see page 6).
4.
Select a location for the Inside Antenna, preferably in the center of
where the signal needs to be amplified (see page 8). A minimum
separation distance of 20 vertical feet is necessary for operation. If
the inside coverage is not sufficient you may need as much as 75 feet
of horizontal separation. See installation diagram on pages 3 & 4.
5.
Before powering up the Signal Booster, verify that both the Outside
Antenna and the Inside Antenna are connected and check that
all connections are tight (see page 9). Note: Be careful when
plugging the connectors in so as not to bend the center pins on the
connectors.
6.
The Signal Booster has been packaged with the gain control knobs
adjusted to the highest gain position. If the light is not green, please
refer to pages 10-11.
Warning: Connecting the Signal Booster directly to a cell phone with
use of an adapter will damage the cell phone and/or the
Signal Booster.
