Before Getting Started
This guide will help you properly install Wilson’s direct connection ampliers in both in-
vehicle and in-building applications. It is important to read through all of the installation
steps for your particular application prior to installing any equipment. Read through
the instructions, visualize where all the equipment will need to be installed and do a soft
installation before mounting any equipment. If you do not understand the instructions in
full, seek professional help, or contact Wilson Technical Support at 866-294-1660.
Inside this Package
• Direct connection amplier
• DC plug-in power supply with On/Off switch
• 6 ‘ extension cable
Additional Equipment
• Outside antenna for in-vehicle or in-building use (required)
(NOTE: specically tuned iDEN antennas available)
• Cell phone-specic external antenna adapter (required)
• AC/DC power supply (optional – for in-building use)
How it Works
Wilson ampliers are small, portable, bi-directional devices that deliver service levels
consistent with what would be expected in areas of high cell network coverage. They
amplify a weak or shadowed signal in mobile, marine and in-building applications.
When using a Wilson amplier in conjunction with Wilson antennas, the outside antenna
will collect the cell tower signal and send it through the cable to the amplier. Cell phones
and cellular data cards (laptops) then communicate with the improved signal. When a cell
phone or cellular data card transmits, the signal is amplied by the amplier and broadcast
back to the cell tower through the outside antenna.

The outside antenna must be installed
vertically. Signal performance will be
degraded if the antenna is not vertical.
The antenna cable may be run through the
door to the amplier.
NOTE: See RF Safety Warnings (p. 10)
The antenna cable is small enough to easily
tuck under the door seal or plastic molding.
For a more professional-looking installation,
the antenna cable may be run under the
door seal. Carefully pull down the door
seal. Run the cable through the seal
and push the seal back into place. This
prevents constant wear and tear on the
cable as the door opens and closes.

Installing a Wilson Outside Antenna
To receive the best cell signal, select a location in the center of the vehicle’s roof at least 12
inches away from any other antennas and free of obstructions.
Follow the specic antenna installation instructions included with the outside antenna (sold
separately).
In-Vehicle

Select a location to install the amplier that
is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight,
moisture and that has proper ventilation.
Recommended installation locations for
in-vehicle are:
• Under the seat
• In the trunk
• Under the dash
Run the cable from the outside antenna and
attach it to the FME-Male connector labeled
“outside antenna” on the amplier.

Installing a Wilson External Adapter
An 18-inch external adapter is required to connect the cell phone or cellular data card to
the amplier. The external adapter is cell phone/data card-specic and may be purchased
through a local retailer.
Refer to Wilson’s Adapter Guide to identify
the right adapter for your cell phone or
cellular data card. The adapter guide is
available through a local retailer or visit
www.wilsonelectronics.com.
The external adapter plugs into the included antenna extension cable and directly into a
socket on the cell phone or cellular data card as shown in Figure 1.
The external adapter and the included extension cable are long enough to reach the
amplier location. This allows for ease and convenience of use.
Run the extension cable from the external adapter and attach it to the FME-Male connector
labeled “cellular phone” on the amplier.

NOTE: Depending on your specic cell phone, the
adapter socket may be located beneath a rubber
plug.

Installing a Wilson Outside Antenna – In-Building
Select a location on the roof of the building to install the outside antenna that has the most
unobstructed line of sight to the cell tower.
Follow the specic antenna installation instructions included with the outside antenna.
Lightning protection is recommended for all in-building installations. Take extreme care to
ensure neither you nor the antenna come in contact with any electrical power lines.
A Yagi antenna must be installed horizontally with the elements vertical and the drip hole
on the bottom. Ensure there are three feet of clearance in all directions surrounding the
antenna.
To obtain maximum performance, the antenna should point toward the cell tower. Follow
the instructions included with the outside antenna.
Installing a Wilson Amplier
Select a location to install the amplier that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight,
moisture and that has proper ventilation. Ensure the amplier is installed within six feet

of where the cell phone or cellular data card will be used (to accommodate the six-foot
adapter extension cable). Run the cable from the outside antenna and attach it to the
FME-Male connector labeled “outside antenna” on the amplier. Connect the AC/DC power
supply (sold separately) to the power input labeled “DC 12 V IN” on the amplier.
Recommended installation locations for
in-building are:
• On a wall
• On the ceiling
• Near a power outlet

Installing a Wilson External Adapter
An 18-inch external adapter is required to connect the cell phone or cellular data card to
the amplier. The external adapter is cell phone/data card-specic and may be purchased
through a local retailer.
Refer to Wilson’s Adapter Guide to identify
the right adapter for your cell phone or
cellular data card. The adapter guide is
available through a local retailer or visit
www.wilsonelectronics.com.
The external adapter plugs into the included six-foot extension cable and directly into a
socket on the cell phone or cellular data card as shown in Figure 1 on page 6. (NOTE: See
the user’s manual for your specic phone or data card to determine the socket location.)
Run the extension cable from the external adapter on the cell phone or cellular data card
and attach it to the FME-Male connector labeled “cellular phone” on the amplier.

Powering up a Wilson Amplier
For in-vehicle, rst connect the power cable
to the amplier input marked “DC 12 V IN”
and then insert the large end into a 12 V DC
power socket or cigarette lighter outlet.
The amplier may remain on all the time;
however, leaving the amplier on in a
vehicle when it is not running can discharge
the battery in a day or two.
A good option is to power the amplier
through the ignition switch so that the
amplier turns off and on with the vehicle.
For in-building, rst connect the optional
AC/DC power supply to the amplier input
labeled “DC 12 V IN” and then into a wall
outlet.
Carefully insert the power cable.
In-vehicle 12-volt DC power supply (included)
Warning: Use only a Wilson power
supply. Use of a non-Wilson product could
damage your equipment.
!
Testing a Wilson Amplier
To test your amplier, go to a weak signal area where your cell phone registers only 1-2
bars without the amplier turned on. Then, connect the amplier to the phone and you
should see a signal improvement of 2 or more bars. Note: many phones take up to 20
seconds to reset the bar indicator.
Warning: Verify that both the outside
antenna and the adapter extension cable are
connected to the amplier before powering up
the amplier.
