Quick Install Overview Refer to Installation Diagram on pages 5 & 6. Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team with any questions at 866-294-1660. 1. Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and has proper ventilation. Do not place the Signal Booster in an air-tight enclosure. 2. Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside Antenna.

AG DB Pro Installation Diagram Outside Antenna (Wide Band Antenna option shown) Note: The Inside Panel Antenna may be mounted on the wall directly under the Outside Antenna if 20 feet of vertical separation can be maintained. The preferred method for the best coverage, place the antenna in the ceiling. Null Zone: The area under the Outside Antenna, where the Outside Antenna radiates the least. Note: A Lightning Surge Protector is recommended for all building installations (sold separately).

Before Getting Started This guide will help you properly install your Wilson Electronics Signal Booster. 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. Contact Wilson Electronics Technical Support Team with any questions at: 866-294-1660.

Reasons for Weak Cellular Signals Anyone who uses a cell phone or cellular data card knows the frustration of not being able to connect to or maintain a strong cellular signal. When this occurs, it is generally due to one of two reasons: 1.

Mount the antenna so that there is at least 3 feet of clearance in all directions around it. Position the antenna so that it has an unobstructed line of sight to the cell tower’s strongest signal. Make sure the antenna is not pointing across your own roof or at the Inside Antenna as this will cause the oscillation (feedback) protection circuitry to shut down the Signal Booster (refer to page 12). Warning: Lightning protection is recommended for all installations (sold separately 75 ohm #859992).
PAGE 10
Finding the Strongest Signal When installing your Signal Booster’s Outside Antenna, aiming it towards the best signal source from you service provider is important. The best way to get the strongest signal is to have one person on the roof to rotate 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.

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 want the cable to appear on the inside of the building. Before drilling, make sure that there are no electrical outlets, sewer or water pipes, or electrical wiring in the wall that you are about to drill through as this could potentially harm you or damage the building.

Installing a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the Signal Booster in an air-tight enclosure. Recommended installation locations for in-building Signal Boosters are near a power outlet and in a closet or on a shelf. Note: It is important to have adequate air ventilation. Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance from surrounding objects.

oscillation (feedback). First, make sure that all connections are tight. Then turn gain to minimum and slowly increase the gain until the light turns red. Reduce the gain to the previous setting that had a green light. It will take 1 minute for the light to turn back to green, or unplug and plug in the Signal Booster to reset it. When you turn down the gain, you are reducing the inside coverage area.
PAGE 15
Warnings & Recommendations 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. Warning: Connecting the Signal Booster directly to the cell phone with use of an adapter may damage the cell phone. Warning: Use only the power supply provided in this package. Use of a non-Wilson Electronics product may damage your equipment.
