4.3 Installing the
Wilson Cellular
Outside Antenna (Sold Separately)
4.3.1 Select an outside mounting location. For best performance keep the antenna
centered on the vehicle’s roof.
4.3.2 The outside antenna should be located in an area with at least a 12” radius clear
of obstructions, and other radiating elements.
NOTE: If the vehicle has a sunroof, place the outside antenna away from the sunroof so that
the inside antenna is shielded from the outside antenna by metal. This is very important to
avoid oscillation.
4.3.3 Connect the Outside Antenna to the AMPLIFIER side labeled “OUTSIDE ANTENNA”.
NOTE: Do not place the outside antenna in the vehicle without turning the amplier off.
For example, when at the car wash. This will cause damage to your amplier.
NOTE: Do not use a glass mounted antenna with a mobile wireless amplier.
4.4 Connect the DC Power Supply
4.4.1 Connect the large end of the DC Power Supply into your cigarette lighter and the
other end into the input on your amplier. Use only the supplied power supply.
4.5 Indicators Lights
4.5.1
PWR - Power Indicator Light – Indicates power to the unit.
800 MHz & 1900 MHz dual color Green/Red indicators
Green – Amplier is operating properly.
Red – Indicates the amplier is oscillating (needs more separation between
the Inside and Outside Antennas) and/or the cell sites signal is strong and the
amplier has powered down. (see below)
Oscillation – Try moving the outside antenna to a different location, creating more
separation from the inside antenna. The inside antenna should be mounted within one
foot (1’) of where the cell phone is being used.
Strong Cell Signal – The amplier is designed to power down when the cell site signal is
strong. If you are installing the amplier where the cell signal is strong, go to an area with
low signal strength and verify that the light turns to Green.
NOTE: You do not need amplication when the cell signal is strong. The amplier is on
only when the green light is on. In the city, you may only need amplication when the
signal fades from buildings or other structures blocking the signal.
