How it Works Your new Wilson SOHO Wireless Dual-Band Amplifier has been carefully engineered to enhance the performance of your inside or cellular data card in small office/home office applications. Its advanced technology is designed to significantly improve voice and data signal quality and reduce disconnects and drop-outs. The amplifier works with two antennas (sold separately): one communicates with the outside (the outside antenna) and the other communicates with your inside or laptop data card (the inside antenna). The outside antenna will collect the outside signal and send it through a cable to the amplifier. The signal is then boosted and sent through a cable to the inside antenna, which communicates with your inside or data card. When the inside or data card transmits, the inside antenna picks up the signal and sends it to the amplifier where it is boosted and sent through the outside antenna to the outside. Wilson Electronics manufactures a wide variety of antennas and accessories to help you customize your SOHO Wireless Dual-Band Amplifier for your specific 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 Dual-Band 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, please contact Wilson technical Support at 866-294-1660. Installation Overview The following steps provide a summary of the amplifier/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 specific antennas. STEP 1 Install the Outside Antenna Mount the Yagi antenna to a fixed location (such as a pole) on the roof of your building. Be sure it is pointing toward the nearest cell tower and away from where you plan to install the inside antenna. IMPORTANT: The outside antenna must have a separation of at least 24 inches from all persons during normal operation. STEP 2 Install the Inside Antenna Attach the panel antenna as close as possible to the center of the area where the signal needs to be amplified. Ensure there is a minimum separation of 20 feet between the outside and inside antennas. IMPORTANT: The inside antenna must have a separation of at least 8 inches from all persons during normal operation. STEP 3 Install the Amplifier Position the amplifier in a well-ventilated location near a power outlet. Attach the antennas to the amplifier using 50-ohm or equivalent coax cable (available in different lengths from Wilson Electronics). STEP 4 Power up the Amplifier IMPORTANT! Before connecting the power supply, ensure that both the inside and outside antenna cables are connected. Also ensure that all insides and cellular data cards within 20 feet of the inside antenna are turned off. Plug the supplied 6-volt power supply into the amplifier and then into a wall outlet. 

Installing the Outside Antenna The antenna that communicates with the outside 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 dual-band trucker antenna will also work. Mount the antenna as high as possible on your building for optimum signal reception and transmission. Follow the specific 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. RF Signal Cell Tower Yagi Outside Antenna ! Warning: Never point the front of the Yagi antenna toward the inside antenna - oscillation will result, causing an amber light on the amplifier 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 Pointing toward indoors, select a location near a window or cell tower glass door where you have the strongest existing cell signal. (See the illustration on NOT page 5.) Follow the specific installation CORRECT instructions included with the antenna. 

Installing the Inside Antenna The antenna that communicates with your inside or cellular data card should be installed in the center of where the signal needs to be amplified. Wilson’s magnet-mount, mini magnet-mount, dome and panel antennas will work well with the SOHO Wireless Amplifier. Amplifier Outside Antenna Inside Antenna 20 feet minimum separation between inside antenna and outside antenna In the above illustration, Wilson mini magnet-mount antennas are being used for both the outside antenna (on the window) and the inside antenna (on the desk). Follow the specific instructions included with the antennas for your specific application. ! Warning: The inside antenna ! Warning: Connecting the amplifier must have a separation distance from all directly to the inside with use of an adapter persons that is at least 8 inches. will damage the inside. 

Installing the Amplifier Select a location to install the amplifier that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the amplifier in an air-tight enclosure. Recommended installation locations are: • On a desk or table top • In a bookshelf • On the floor 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. Point Yagi antenna away from cell phone antenna Antenna Separation Outside Antenna Optional 1900 MHz Yagi Antenna 20 feet minimum separation Shown between inside and outside antenna Inside Antenna Optional Dome Antenna Shown Amplifier Supports Multiple AC/DC Users Power Supply Run the outside antenna cable to the amplifier and attach it to the FME-male connector labeled “outside antenna” on the amplifier. Run the inside antenna cable to the amplifier and attach it to the FME-male connector labeled “inside antenna” on the amplifier. Note: Be careful when plugging the connectors in so as not to damage the center pin. Connect the outside antenna to the amplifier with 50-ohm or equivalent coax cable (available in different lengths from Wilson Electronics). Place the inside antenna in the center of the area needing the amplified 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 amplifier to automatically reduce its gain. 

Powering up a Wilson Amplifier 1. IMPORTANT! Ensure that all insides and cellular data cards within 20 feet of the inside antenna are turned off. 2. To verify proper installation of the amplifier 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 amplifier before powering up the amplifier. 5. Plug the 6-volt power supply into the amplifier 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 non-Wilson product may damage your equipment. ! Warning: Verify that both the outside antenna and the inside antenna are connected to the amplifier before powering up the 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 attic of a house can easily exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the amplifier temperature may be 10 or more degrees higher. The casing will be hot to the touch. Such high temperatures will not damage the amplifier, nor do they pose a fire risk. As recommended in these instructions, install the amplifier in a location with adequate ventilation. Keep the area free of items that could block air flow to the amplifier. 

Understanding the Amplifier Lights The power light PWR will turn green when the amplifier is successfully powered up. When the 800 MHz or 1900 MHz lights are lit green, the amplifier is amplifying the outside signal. If one or both frequency lights turn red, the amplifier 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 amplifier 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. 

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 amplifier directly to the inside with use of an adapter will damage the inside. Warning: Connect both the outside and inside antenna cables to the amplifier before powering up the amplifier. Warning: Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-Wilson product may damage your equipment. Warning: The outside antenna must have a separation distance from all persons that is at least 24 inches. The inside antenna must have a separation distance from all persons that is at least 8 inches. Lightning protection is recommended for all in-building installations using an outside antenna.

Nominal gain is the maximum gain at any frequency in the passband. 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.
