Find the Strongest Cellular Signal

Before you install your DB Pro signal

booster, you must determine the location of

the best available cellular signal. This will

affect the location of your Outside Antenna

and will help you get the best performance

from your DB Pro. You can nd the

strongest signal outside your building,

typically at the highest point available, using

any of the following methods:

1. Best method:

Connect the Outside Antenna to the DB

Pro signal booster, and the DB Pro to

the Inside Antenna. Have one person

outside (on the roof for best results)

move the Outside Antenna with a

second person inside the building near

the Inside Antenna watching the signal

strength on a phone. This allows you

to read the signal strength from nearby

cell towers.

a. The person inside should have

the phone in test mode so the

numerical signal strength can be

read. This is more accurate than

4Need help? www.WilsonElectronics.com Tech Support 866-294-1660

the bar indicator. Go to www.

wilsonelectronics.com/test-mode-

instructions for help in nding the

test mode for your phone.

b. The person on the roof should

move the Outside Antenna. Allow

30 seconds for the phone to

Move

c. The person inside should note the

readings on the phone with each

placement. Signal readings usually

appear as a negative number. The

closer the number gets to zero, the

stronger the signal (for example,

-86 dB would be a moderately good

reading while -55 dB would be an

excellent reading, and -110 dB would

be a weak, or unusable signal).

d. Once you have determined which

location provides the strongest

outside signal, you can install the

Outside Antenna in that general

location.

2. Good methods:

a. Place calls from several locations

outside your building. As you move

to different locations, note where

you get the best reception.

b. If you have a smart phone, you

can download apps that help you

identify locations of cell phone

towers or the strongest signal. Go

to the App Store and search for

“cell signal” to nd available apps

for your device.

3. Acceptable method: Check the bar

indicator on your cell phone display

and note where the signal appears

the strongest. (Note: cell phone bars

are only an approximation of signal

strength and vary from phone to

phone.) Phones can take up to 30

seconds to reset to a new reading. Be

patient and repeat your signal check

several times.

For additional instructions on nding

the strongest cellular signal, watch the

installation video at: wilsonelectronics.com/

DBProvideo.

Installation Details

As you plan your installation, keep the

following guidelines in mind to maximize

your signal strength:

1. Maintain a vertical distance of at least

20 feet or a horizontal distance of at

least 50 feet between the Outside

Antenna to the Inside Antenna.

2. If possible, place the Inside Antenna

directly beneath the placement of

the Outside Antenna location. This

creates a maximized signal zone

within the room where the Inside

Antenna is located.

3. Be sure the Inside Antenna is NOT

facing toward the Outside Antenna.

This creates potential oscillation

or feedback and reduces the

effectiveness of the DB Pro.

4. If you do not know how to mount

hardware or run coax cable through

walls, ceilings and oors, get help

from a Wilson Certied Installer

at www.wilsonelectronics.com/wci

or from a qualied contractor or

electrician.

We recommend you install the Lightning

Surge Protector (859992). Attach the

cable from the Outside Omni Antenna to

the surge protector and ground the surge

protector. The LSP is sold separately (refer

to page 11 for more info.

Quick Install

For more detailed instructions on

installation, read the description later

in this guide or watch the video at

wilsonelectronics.com/DBProvideo.

NOTE: Create a “soft” install rst by testing

components in your proposed locations

before securing them with hardware.

1. Select a location on the roof of

the building to install the Outside

Antenna. Make sure the antenna is

clear of obstructions that could block

the signal from the nearest cellular

tower.

2. Select a location to install the Signal

Booster that is well ventilated and

away from excessive heat, moisture,

and direct sunlight.

3. Select a location for the Inside

Antenna that is in the center of the

area where the signal needs to

be amplied and a minimum of 20

vertical feet or 50 horizontal feet from

the Outside Antenna.

Inside area needing increased signalInside area needing increased signal

4. Run the coax cable from the Outside

Antenna to the Signal Booster and

attach it to the connector labeled

“Outside Antenna.” Connect another

coax cable to the connector labeled

“Inside Antenna” and run it to the

Inside Antenna. NOTE: Be careful

not to bend the center pins on

the connectors when securing

connections.

5. Once you have ensured all

connections are tight, connect the

Signal Booster to a surge protected

power strip with at least a 1000 Joule

rating to protect your equipment from

power surges and lightning strikes

(refer to page 11 for information on

lightning protection).

6. If your DB Pro is working correctly,

the lights will be green. If the

lights are orange or red, see the

“Troubleshooting” section starting on

page 7.

Outside Antenna Installation

1. Select a location on the roof or an

outside wall where the Outside

Antenna can be mounted without

obstruction (at least three feet of

clearance in all directions) and with

at least 20 feet of vertical or 50 feet

of horizontal separation from the

Internal Antenna.

Inside area needing increased signalInside area needing increased signal

After connecting the coax cable to the

antenna, run it underneath the down side

of your roof’s ashing if mounted on the

roof. Tip: Often you can follow the route

used by satellite TV cables. If you attach

the Outside Antenna to a wall, run the

cable along the outside of the wall to the

area where you want the cable to appear

on the inside of the building, then drill a

hole through the wall where the cable will

4. Use the mounting hardware included

in the package to secure the Inside

Antenna to the selected location.

Powering Up The Signal

Booster

1. Ensure the cables to both the Outside

Antenna and Inside Antenna are

securely connected before powering

up the Signal Booster.

2. Plug the power supply into the Signal

Booster input marked “POWER” and

then into a surge protector power strip

with a minimum 1000 Joule rating.

3. The lights on the Signal Booster

should remain green . If the

lights are red or orange, see the

“Troubleshooting” section on page 7.

4. If you know that only one frequency

band (800 MHz or 1900 MHz) is

available in your coverage area,

reduce the gain control on the

frequency band that is NOT in

use to the lowest setting. This will

reduce power consumption of the

Signal Booster.

enter the building. Caution: Before drilling

holes for the cable, be sure there are

no electrical outlets, wiring, or sewer or

water pipes you could puncture or sever.

3. Seal any holes with silicone, cable

bushings or other waterproof sealant.

Signal Booster Installation

1. Select a location for the Signal

Booster that is away from excessive

heat, direct sunlight, moisture and

well ventilated. The enclosure must

NOT be air tight. Also, be sure the

location is near a power source.

2. Connect the coax cables to the

Signal Booster from the Outside

Antenna and Inside Antenna at the

designated ports.

3. Do NOT connect the Signal Booster

to the power source until all cables

are connected.

Inside Antenna Installation

1. Select a location in the center of the

area where you want cellular signals

improved to mount the Inside Antenna.

If you have multiple rooms with poor

signal, you may need multiple Inside

Antennas. These can attach to

the Signal Boost by using a splitter

(sold separately). Contact Wilson

Electronics for more information.

2. Ensure a minimum of 20 feet vertical

or 50 horizontal feet separation from

the Outside Antenna.

Troubleshooting &

Understanding Lights

The Signal Boost includes two indicator

lights, one for the 800 MHz band and the

other for the 1900 MHz band (see FAQ for

explanation of MHz bands). Both indicator

lights will be green, red or orange.

Green indicates the unit is powered

and working properly. You always

want the lights to be green.

Red indicates the DB Pro has

shut down to prevent oscillation

(feedback).

Orange indicates the DB Pro is

overloaded because it is too close to

a cell tower.

Note: All red light issues must be resolved

before orange light issues.

Fixing Red Light Issues

If one or both lights on the Signal Boost

are red:

1. Make sure all connections are tight.

2. Reduce the gain of the Signal Booster

by rotating the gain control knob

corresponding with the red light. This

is done by turning the knob counter-

clockwise in small increments, waiting

5 seconds between each adjustment

for the Signal Booster to reset.

Continue this adjustment until the

light turns green.

Wait 5 seconds

between each

adjustment

IMPORTANT NOTE: Reducing the gain

decreases the inside coverage area. If the

amount of coverage area is sufcient when

the green light comes on, your installation

is complete.

3. If the coverage area is not large

enough with a reduced gain, you

need to increase the distance

between the Outside Antenna and

the Inside Antenna by moving them

horizontally and/or vertically farther

apart. If the light is green after

separating the antennas, increase

the gain until the red light comes on.

Then slightly decrease the gain until

the green light appears. This ensures

maximum coverage.

4. If your coverage area is still too small

after separating the antennas contact

the Wilson Electronics Technical

Support Team for assistance: 866-

294-1660.

Fixing Orange Light Issues

If one or both lights on the Signal Booster

are orange:

1. Turn down the gain control (described

in the red light instructions above)

until you get a green light.

2. If the gain is not adequate for good

coverage, move the Outside Antenna

away from the strongest cellular

signal until the light turns green. If the

Signal Booster will not respond, turn

the gain down in 5 dB increments and

move the Outside Antenna. Continue

to adjust the gain and antenna

positions until the light turns green.

Fixing Blinking Red & Orange Light Issues

If one or more of the lights on Signal

Booster are blinking red and orange,

it indicates that the Signal Booster is

experiencing extreme receiver overload

and has shutoff.

Mon.- Fri. Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MST

a) Move the Outside Antenna away from

the cell tower until lights no longer

ash. Contact Wilson Electronics

Technical Support Team for

assistance.

Fixing Blinking Red Light Issues

If one or more of the lights on Signal

Booster are blinking red, this means that

the Signal Booster has shutoff.

a) Increase the distance between

the cellular device and the Inside

Antenna.

Increase the distance

Lights Off

If one or more of the lights on Signal

Booster are off verify power to your surge

protected power strip. If power and lights

are still off this means that the gain has

been turned all the way down and the

band is in Power Save Mode. Increase

the gain until the light turns on. If there are

bands that are not being used in the local

coverage area, we recommend turning

these frequencies off. This will reduce

enegy consumption.

NOTE: The Signal Booster can be reset by

disconnecting and reconnecting the power

supply.

How does weather affect the

performance of my Outside Antenna?

Water vapor (e.g. rain, fog, snow or

other precipitation) creates an effective

lter to cellular signal. In times of

heavy precipitation, you may see less

performance.

What’s the difference between the 800

MHz and the 1900 MHz bands? How do

I know which MHz band my cell phone

uses?

The DBPro works with all major North

American cellular providers on the 800

& 1900 MHz frequencies. Traditionally,

800/1900MHz are associated with

voice and 3G data; while 700MHz

and 1700/2100MHz are associated

with 4G data. For more detail, refer to
