HowitWorks

YourWilsonSignalBoostDTAmpliﬁerworksbypickingupastrongersignalfromanantennamountedona

poleorwalloutsideyourbuildingorhighonawindowinsideyourbuilding,facingthecellsite.Theampliﬁer

thenincreasesthesignalandtransmitsitthroughtheonboardantennaontheampliﬁertoyourcellphoneor

laptopdatacard.

ReasonsforWeakCellularSignals

Anyonewhousesacellphoneorcellulardatacardknowsthefrustrationofnotbeingabletoconnecttoor

maintainastrongcellularsignal.Whenthisoccurs,it’sgenerallyduetooneoftworeasons:

1.LocationoftheNearestCellTower–Celltowersaresituatedtoprovidebroadcoverage;however,there

aremanyareasinwhichsignalstrengthmaybereducedbytopographicfeaturesorbylocalgovernment

restrictionsontheheightorplacementofthetowersthemselves.Ruralareasgenerallyhavefewercell

towersthanurbanregions.

2.NaturalandManmadeObstructions–Signalstrengthcanalsobenegativelyaffectedbytrees,hills,

buildingsandotherobstructions.Youmayberelativelyclosetoacelltowerbutstillunabletomakeacall.

Thisoftenoccursinhomes,ofﬁcesandotherbuildingsinwhichstucco,concreteormetalwallsblockthe

signal.

TheSignalBoostDTworkswithtwoantennas(included).Theonboardantennacommunicateswithyourcell

phoneorlaptopdatacard,andthecradleantennacommunicateswiththecelltower.Thecradleantennais

designedforinstallationoutsideonawallorapole,orinsideonawindoworwall,dependingonyourpreferred

conﬁguration(seeFigure1).

ThecradleantennareceivestheoutsidesignalandsendsitthroughthecoaxcabletotheSignalBoostDT,

whereitisampliﬁedandretransmittedmuchmorestronglythroughtheonboardantennaintotheroom.When

theonboardantennapicksupasignalfromyourcellphoneordatacard,theampliﬁerbooststhatsignaland

transmitsitthroughthecabletothecradleantennaandbacktothecellsite.(Note:theSignalBoostDTwill

onlyoperateifthereisadequatesignaltoamplify.)

Note: If20’

separationisnot

possible,seepage5.

FirstStep:FindtheStrongestSignal

BeforeyouinstallyourSignalBoostDT,itisveryimportantthatyoudeterminethelocationofthebestavailable

cellularsignal.Thiswillaffectwhereyouplacethecradleantennaandwillhelpyougetthebestperformance

fromyoursystem.

Youwillﬁndthestrongestsignaloutsideyourhouseorbuilding,atthehighestplaceavailable.Yourcellphone

canhelpyouﬁndthestrongestoutsidesignal,usinganyorallofthefollowingmethods:

1.Placecallsfromseverallocationsoutsideyourbuildingandnotewhereyougetthebestreception.

2. Checkthebarindicatoronyourcellphonedisplayandnotewherethesignalappearstobethestrongest.

Note:cellphonebarsareonlyanapproximationofsignalstrengthandvaryfromphonetophone.Theycan

takeupto30secondstoresettoanewreading.Bepatientandrepeatyoursignalcheckseveraltimes.

3. Somecellphoneshavetestmodesforreadingaccuratesignalstrength.Usingthetestmodeonyourcell

phone,movearoundtheoutsideofyourbuildinganddeterminethelocationofthestrongestsignal.(For

assistancewiththetestmodeonyourparticularphone,visittheTechnicalSupportsectionofourwebsite:

www.wilsonelectronics.comorcallourTechnicalSupportDepartmentat8662941660or4356735021.)

Onceyouhavedeterminedwheretheoutsidesignalisstrongest,youshouldplantoinstallthecradleantenna

inthatgeneralarea,eitheroutsideorinside.(Seethefollowingsectionforalternativeinstallationoptions.)

InstallationOptionsCradleAntenna

Thecradleantennaisdirectional–itreceivesandtransmitsbestinonedirection.TheroundWilsoninsignia

indicatesthesideoftheantennathatshouldfacetowardthecellsitewhentheunitisplacedinthecradle.

Note:theweakerthesignalisatthecradleantenna,theshorterthedistancetheonboardantennawill

transmit;therefore,signalstrengthatthecradleantennaisextremelyimportant.TheSignalBoostDTcomes

withallnecessarypartsforinstallationofthecradleantennainthreealternativelocations(seeFigure2):

•Outsideonapole(bracket,nutsandwashers)

•Outsideonawall(screws,washersandanchors)

•Insideonawindoworwall(suctioncupsordoublesidedadhesivestrip)

Figure2

ForTechnicalSupport,call8662941660or4356735021.4

Ifyouhaveaccesstotheroofortotheoutsidewallsofyourhouseorbuilding,yourbestchoiceistoplacethe

cradleantennaoutside,facingtowardthecellsite(seepage3).Ifyoucannotaccesstheseareas,useyourcell

phoneandﬁndanareaindoorsthatfacesthecellsite,ideallynearthetopofawindoworwall,whereyoucan

makecallsoryouhaveseveralbarsonyourphone.Usually,awindowispreferabletoawall,becauseitdoes

notobstructradiowaves.Note:installtheantennaashighaspossibleonthewindoworwallforthestrongest

signal.Ifyoucannotﬁndanindoorlocationwithagoodsignalposition,youwillneedtoinstallthecradle

antennaoutsideonawallorpole,andturnittowardthecellsite.

AntennaPlacement

Thelocationoftheampliﬁerwithitsonboardantennainrelationtothecradleantennaisveryimportant.Once

youﬁndagoodsignallocationforthecradleantenna,theampliﬁerandonboardantennaneedtobelocated

behindittoreducethepossibilityofoscillation(indicatedbyaredindicatorlightontheampliﬁer).Inother

words,thefrontofthecradleantenna(indicatedbytheWilsoninsignia)needstofaceinthedirectionofthecell

siteandnotinthedirectionoftheampliﬁerandonboardantenna(seeFigure3).

Inaddition,itisimportantthattheonboardantennabepositionedbehind,andnotover,theampliﬁer,asshown

below.

AntennaSeparation

Thedistancebetweenthecradleantennaandtheampliﬁerwiththeonboardantennaisextremelyimportant!

Iftheyaretooclosetogether,theywilloscillate,causingthesystemtoshutdown,asindicatedbyaredlight

ontheampliﬁer.Itisveryimportanttokeepthedistancebetweenthetwounitsatleast20feet(30or40feetis

evenbetter).(SeeFigure4)Dependingonyourspeciﬁcinstallation,youmayneedthe20footcoaxcable,the

30footcable,orbothcablesconnectedwiththesuppliedbarrelconnector.

Evenat20feet,theampliﬁermayshutdown,asindicatedbytheredlight.Bymovingtheonboardantenna

toahorizontalposition,youmaybeabletochangetheredlighttoagreenlight,indicatingthatthesystemis

operatingproperly(seeFigure5).

Ifyouareunabletomaintainthe20footminimumseparationbetweenantennas,itmaybepossibletoachieve

normaloperation(agreenlight)atlessthan20feetbymovingtheonboardantennatoahorizontalposition,

asnotedabove,androtatingtheonboardantennainrelationtothecradleantenna(seeFigure6).Donot
