Powering up a Wilson Amplier
Make sure both the outside and inside
antenna cables are connected before
powering up the amplier.
Connect the power cable from the DC
plug-in power supply to the amplier and
insert the large end into DC power socket
(the cigarette lighter outlet.)
The amplier may remain on all the time.
However, leaving the amplier 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 amplier
through the ignition switch so the amplier
is turned on and off with the vehicle.
Carefully insert the power cable.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the ampli-
er unless antenna cables are attached to
amplier.
Warning: Use only the power
supply provided in this package. The
power supply must be 6 V DC.

Understanding the Amplier Lights
If the light turns red, oscillation is occurring and the amplier has powered down.
The outside antenna needs to be moved farther from the inside antenna. Move the
outside antenna on the roof of the car to the rear of the car, but at least 8-12 inches
from the rear or side windows. Remove power from the amplier and reinstall
power - this resets the amplier.
If the light is now green, the oscillation has stopped and the amplier is working. If
the red light is still on, move the antenna farther away and repeat the process.
Always use a magnet-mount or roof-mount antenna. Do not use a glass-mount
antenna, as oscillation may cause continuous shut-down of the amplier.
An amber light indicates overload from the cell site. The amplier has temporarily
shut down and will automatically reset approximately 1,000 feet or more from the
cell site.
