Summary

Guarantee and Warranty

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Wilson Electronics products are protected by Wilson's 30-day money-back guarantee for acceptable performance.

1-Year Warranty

Wilson Electronics amplifiers are warranted for one year against defects in workmanship and materials.

How it Works

Product Introduction

Details the Mobile Wireless Dual-Band Amplifier, its components, and its function to improve cell signal.

Antenna Options

Highlights various Wilson antennas available for customizing the amplifier installation.

Before Getting Started

Installation Preparation

Guide to properly installing the dual-band wireless amplifier, emphasizing reading all steps before starting.

Installation Diagrams

Illustrates typical installation setups for inside antenna and universal connector configurations.

Installing a Wilson Outside Antenna

Antenna Placement

Select a location in the center of the vehicle's roof, 12 inches from other antennas and free of obstructions.

Cable Routing

Instructions on running the antenna cable through the door seal for a professional installation.

Installing a Wilson Amplifier

Amplifier Location

Choose a location away from heat, sunlight, moisture, with proper ventilation, e.g., under seat, trunk, or dash.

Connection Points

Connects the outside antenna cable to the amplifier and details the two options for inside signal delivery.

Installing a Wilson Inside Antenna (Wireless)

Low-Profile Antenna Placement

Install the low-profile antenna 8-12 inches from where the phone/data card is used, avoiding metal within 4 inches.

Optimal Positioning

Place the inside antenna on the side of the driver's seat, angled like the phone, for maximum signal strength.

Option B (Attached)

Universal Connector Installation

Connect the universal connector directly to the cell phone or data card using provided Velcro, allowing 24 hours for adhesive curing.

Signal Adjustment

Guidance on adjusting the connector for best signal by testing in a weak signal area.

Powering Up a Wilson Amplifier

Power Connection

Connect the DC power supply to the amplifier and insert into the vehicle's power socket. Use only the provided supply.

Power Management

Options for powering the amplifier via ignition switch to avoid battery discharge, and notes on amplifier casing temperature.

Warnings and Recommendations

General Warnings

Do not plug amplifier directly into phone with adapter; do not plug DC power supply until cables are attached.

RF Safety and Separation

Ensures proper separation distances for inside/outside antennas and warns against illegal antenna gain.

Understanding the Amplifier Lights

Normal Operation Lights

Explains green PWR light for power up and green 800/1900 MHz lights indicating amplification of outside signal.

Troubleshooting Lights

Details red lights for oscillation and amber lights for overload, with corrective actions.

Amplifier Specifications

Technical Details

Lists model number, connectors, impedance, dimensions, weight, and frequency range of the amplifier.

Performance Metrics

Details passband gain, bandwidth, power output for single/multiple cell phones, and noise figure.
