Mounting Tips for Running Outside
Antenna Cable
If you are mounting the Outside Antenna on the roof of your building, we
have found that it is easiest to run your cable underneath the down side
of your roof’s flashing. If you have satellite TV service installed you may
be able to follow the same route as the satellite TV cables that are already
running from outside of your building to the inside.
After routing the cable, we recommend sealing any areas where the cable
passes into the building with cable bushings, silicone or other waterproof
sealant to keep your installation from leaking. If you are mounting the
Outside Antenna to the outside wall of your home or building, the simplest
way is to run the cable on the outside of the wall and attach it to the
exterior of your home or office. Then drill a hole through the wall where you

the Outside Antenna, which is connected to the Signal Booster. Turning the
Outside Antenna about 45 degrees at a time, while the second person is
watching the signal strength on the phone inside the building. This allows
you to read the signal strength from the cell tower. It is preferable to have
the phone in the test mode so the actual signal strength can be read, as
bars are not the most accurate. Go to www.WilsonElectronics.com for help
in finding the test mode for your phone. Always make sure the person
inside the building gives the signal time to arrive and register on the phone
(between 10-30 seconds for phone to reset to the signal reading).
