Place the Low-Profile Antenna on the
side of the driver’s seat for maximum
performance.
Install the Low-Profile Antenna at least eight
inches, but not more than 12 inches, from
where the cellular device will be used.
Install the Low-Profile Antenna at the same
angle as the cell phone when held in use, or
place next to the laptop’s cellular data card.
This will maximize the signal strength.
For a more professional looking installation,
the Low-Profile Antenna may be slid under
the seat cover or upholstery, high on the
driver’s seat.
Warning: Do not install the low-profile
antenna within four inches of metal.
(Metal found inside the vehicle’s seat will
not affect the antenna’s performance.)

Installing the Low-Profile Antenna
Installing a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster
Warning: The Inside Antenna must be
installed with a separation of at least eight
inches from all persons and must not
be located in conjunction with any other
antenna or Signal Booster.
Warning: Do not plug in the DC power
supply until the Outside and Inside
Antenna cables are attached to the Signal
Booster.
Run the cable from the Outside Antenna and
attach it to the connector labeled “Outside
Antenna” on the Signal Booster.
Attach the Low-Profile Antenna cable to the
connector labeled “Inside Antenna” on the
Signal Booster.
Powering up a Wilson Electronics Signal Booster
Connect the power cable from the DC plug-in power
supply to the Signal Booster marked “6 V DC” and
insert the large end into DC power socket (the vehicle
power adapter outlet).
The Signal Booster may remain on all the
time. However, leaving the Signal Booster
on in a vehicle when it is not running can
discharge or drain the battery in a day or
two. Switch the power supply off when not
in use.
A good option is to power the Signal
Booster through the ignition switch so the
Signal Booster is turned on and off with the
vehicle.
An available option to do this with is the
Hardwire Kit from Wilson Electronics.
Part# 859923.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the Signal
Booster unless antenna cables are attached
to Signal Booster.

Understanding the Signal Booster Lights
The power light will turn green when the Signal
Booster is successfully powered up. When the
800 MHz or 1900 MHz lights are lit green, the
Signal Booster is amplifying the outside signal.
If one or both frequency lights turn red, oscillation
is occurring and the Signal Booster has powered
down on the frequency with the red light to
prevent oscillation. 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. Disconnect power from the
Signal Booster and reconnect power. This resets
the Signal Booster.
If the lights are now green, the Signal Booster is
working properly. 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
Signal Booster.
A blinking amber light in either the 800 MHz or
1900 MHz position indicates overload from the cell
tower. The Signal Booster has temporarily shut
down and will automatically reset when overload
is no longer detected.

Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive heat, direct
sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation.
