Warnings And Recommendations
Warning: RF Safety: FCC regulations require that any fixed outside antenna used with this Signal
Booster may not have gain (less cable loss) that exceeds 15 dBi and must be located at
least 30 inches from all people. Inside antennas must not exceed 7 dBi gain (less cable loss)
in the 800 MHz band or 10 dBi gain (less cable loss) in the 1900 MHz band and must be
located at least 8 inches from all people.
Warning: If the cable is shortened, or if a different type of cable is used, or if a different antenna is
used, consult with Wilson Electronics Technical Support to verify that the planned installation
is safe. Call 866-294-1660 or 435-673-5021, or email tech@wilsonelectronics.com.
Warning: Connecting the Signal Booster directly to the cell phone with use of an adapter will damage
the cell phone.
Warning: Attach the Desktop Antenna and connect the outside Cradle Antenna before powering up
the Signal Booster.
Warning: Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-Wilson Electronics
product may damage your equipment.
Warning: Always operate cell phone at least 3 feet from the Desktop Antenna.
Warning: The Signal Booster unit is designed for use in an indoor, temperature-controlled environment
(less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit). It is not intended for use in attics or similar locations
subject to temperatures in excess of that range.
Warning: Take care to ensure that neither you nor the pole comes near any power lines during
installation.
Warning: The directional antenna must always be located so the back or side points to the inside
antenna. Never point the front of the outside antenna toward the inside antenna — this is to
prevent oscillation.
Recommendation: Lightning surge protection is recommended for all in-building installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of improvement in cell phone performance can I expect with the SIGNALBOOST DT?
The SIGNALBOOST DT’s performance will depend somewhat on the strength of the cellular signal outside
your home or building. Regardless, if you install the SIGNALBOOST DT in accordance with the instructions in
this guide, you can expect a significant improvement in your ability to use your cell phone or cellular data card
indoors.
Where should I install my SIGNALBOOST DT and Desktop Antenna to get the best coverage?
You should install the Signal Booster and Desktop Antenna in the area where you most need an improved
signal. The farther you are from the inside antenna, the less improvement you will experience. It is also
important to install the outside Cradle Antenna in a location where you have the strongest outside signal (see
page 3). Also keep in mind the distance between the Signal Booster and the outside Cradle Antenna. You will
need at least 20 feet of separation to prevent the start of oscillation (feedback), but you will probably want to
stay within the 50-foot length of the cable. (Additional cable and the necessary connectors are available from
your Wilson Electronics dealer, but using more cable will result in some signal loss.)
I have a Nextel phone – will the SIGNALBOOST DT boost that signal?
The SIGNALBOOST DT is not designed for iDEN/Nextel frequency, however, Wilson Electronics offers
specific Signal Boosters for iDEN/Nextel users. Visit www.WilsonElectronics.com for details.
