Powering up the Amplier
Make sure both the outside antenna and
universal connector cables are connected
before powering up the amplier.
For vehicle use, connect the power cable
from the DC plug-in power supply to the
amplier input marked “Power” and insert
the large end into DC power socket (the
cigarette lighter outlet).
For home or ofce use, connect the cable
from the AC/DC plug-in power supply (sold
separately) to the amplier input marked
“Power” and insert the plug end into a
standard wall 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.
NOTE: The aluminum casing of the SignalBoost™ amplier will adjust very quickly to the
ambient temperature of its environment. For example, in the summer, when the inside of
a car can reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the amplier temperature may be 150 degrees
or higher. The casing will be hot to the touch, similar to a metal door handle or steering
wheel. Such high temperatures will not damage the amplier, nor do they pose a re risk.
As recommended in these instructions, when installing the amplier in a vehicle, select a
location with adequate ventilation, such as under the seat or dashboard. Keep the area
free of items that could block air ow to the amplier.
Carefully insert the power cable.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the
amplier unless the antenna and universal
connector cables are attached to the
amplier.
Warning: Use only Wilson power
supply units. Use of a non-Wilson
product may damage your equipment.
