Before Getting Started This guide will help you properly install Wilson’s dual-band, mobile wireless amplifier. 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, seek professional help, or contact Wilson Technical Support at 866-294-1660. How it Works Wilson amplifiers are small, portable, bi-directional devices that deliver cellular service levels consistent with what would be expected in areas of high cell network coverage. They amplify a weak or shadowed signal in vehicle, marine and in-building applications. When using a Wilson amplifier in conjunction with Wilson antennas, the outside antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the amplifier. The signal is then amplified and broadcast from the inside antenna to the surrounding area. Cell phones and cellular data cards (laptops) in that area then communicate with the improved signal. When a cell phone or cellular data card transmits, the signal is received by the inside antenna, amplified by the amplifier and broadcast back to the cell tower through the outside antenna. Installation Diagram Outside ! Warning: In a wireless installation, Antenna do not plug the amplifier directly into the cell phone or data card using an antenna adapter. It will damage the amplifier. Cell Phone PDA Notebook Inside Antenna DC Power Supply Amplifier 

Installing a Wilson Outside Antenna To receive the best cell signal, select a location in the center of the vehicle’s roof 12 inches away from any other antennas and free of obstructions. Follow the specific antenna installation instructions included with the outside antenna (sold separately). ! Warning: Do not use any type of glass- mount antenna with this amplifier. The outside and inside antennas must be shielded from each other to prevent oscillation. The outside antenna must be installed vertically. Signal performance will be degraded if the antenna is not vertical. Optional Magnet- The antenna cable may be run through the Mount Antenna Shown door to the amplifier. Part #301103 ! Warning: The outside antenna must have a separation of at least 10 inches from all persons during normal operation. For a more professional-looking installation, Carefully Run Cable Pull Down Under the antenna cable may be run under the Door Seal Seal door seal. Carefully pull down the door 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 Under Seal 

Installing a Wilson Amplifier ! Warning: Do not plug in the DC power supply until the outside and inside antenna cables are attached to the amplifier. Select a location to install the amplifier 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 FME-Male connector labeled “outside antenna” on the amplifier. Attach the inside antenna cable to the FME- Male connector labeled “inside antenna” on the amplifier. 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. 

Option A (Wireless) Installing a Wilson Inside Antenna For optimal performance, install the low- profile inside antenna within a foot from Low-profile Antenna where the cell phone or cellular data card will be used. Amplifier ! Warning: Do not install the low-profile antenna within four inches of metal. (Metal found inside the vehicle’s seat will not affect the antenna’s performance.) Place the inside antenna at shoulder height on the side of the driver’s seat for maximum performance. 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 professional-looking installation, the low-profile antenna may be slid under the seat cover or leather, high on the driver’s seat. The low-profile antenna must have a separation of at least eight inches from all persons during normal operation. 

Option B (Attached) Installing a Wilson Universal Connector Amplifier 6’ Extension Universal Cable 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. The universal connector and extension cable included in the package are long enough to reach the amplifier 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 1- 2 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. To maximize performance, attach the universal connector as close as possible to the original antenna on your cell phone or Cellular data card cellular data card. For cell phones with an internal antenna, place the universal connector on the back, upper left-hand corner of the phone. (Figure 1) NOTE: Certain phones, such as the Motorola RAZR, have internal antennas at the base, rather than the top, in which case the universal connector should be attached at the bottom rear of the phone. For cell phones with an external antenna, place the universal connector directly below the phone’s original antenna. (Figure 2) If you have any questions as to the location of the antenna on your phone, call Wilson Technical Support at 866-294-1660 or visit www.wilsonelectronics.com.

Powering up a Wilson Amplifier Make sure both the outside and inside antenna cables are connected before powering up the amplifier. Connect the power cable from the DC plug-in power supply to the amplifier marked “Power” and insert the large end into DC power socket (the cigarette lighter outlet.) ! Warning: Use only the power supply provided in this package. The Carefully insert the power cable. power supply must be 6 V DC. The amplifier may remain on all the time. However, leaving the amplifier 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 amplifier IMPORTANT: Do not power up the ampli- through the ignition switch so the amplifier fier unless antenna cables are attached to is turned on and off with the vehicle. amplifier. NOTE: The aluminum casing of a Wilson amplifier 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 amplifier 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 amplifier, nor do they pose a fire risk to the vehicle. As recommended in these instructions, install the amplifier in a location with adequate ventilation, such as under the seat, in the trunk or under the dashboard. Keep the area free of items that could block air flow to the amplifier. 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 five feet. This prevents the amplifier from overloading or oscillating. Distance between antennas through a sunroof must be 5 feet or more. 

Warnings and Recommendations Warning: In a wireless installation, do not plug the amplifier 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 install the inside antenna within four inches of metal. (Metal found inside the vehicle’s seat will not affect antenna performance.) Warning: Do not use any type of glass-mount antenna with this amplifier. The outside and inside antennas must be shielded from each other to prevent oscillation. Warning: Do not plug in the DC power supply until the outside and inside antenna cables are attached to the amplifier. 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 amplifier. Warning: 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 amplifier. All roof-mount antennas should be centrally located on the roof of the vehicle. Mirror-mount antennas should be at least six inches from the ground and leave at least 10 inches of separation from any persons near or around the vehicle. Use of this cellular amplifier 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. Recommended amplifier installation locations are: • Under the seat • In the trunk • Under the dash For optimum performance, install the low-profile antenna within a foot from where the cell phone or cellular data card will be used. Power the amplifier through the ignition switch so the amplifier is turned on and off with the vehicle. If the vehicle has a sunroof, it is important to separate the inside and outside antennas by at least five feet. This prevents the amplifier from overloading or oscillating.

Nominal gain is the maximum gain at any frequency in the passband. Average gains are: 37 dB (800 MHz uplink & downlink) 45 dB (1900 MHz uplink & downlink) 2. Nominal bandwidth is the difference between two frequencies that are adjacent to the passband where the amplification is 20 dB lower than the passband amplification. One of the frequencies is lower than the passband and the other is higher. 3. The Manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device. 4. The maximum power for 2 or more simultaneous signals will be reduced by 6 dB every time the number of signals is doubled. Wilson® Electronics, Inc.
