Powering up the Amplier
Make sure both the outside antenna and
universal connector cables are connected
before powering up the amplier.
For vehicle use, connect the power cable
from the DC plug-in power supply to the
amplier input marked “Power” and insert
the large end into DC power socket (the
cigarette lighter outlet).
For home or ofce use, connect the cable
from the AC/DC plug-in power supply (sold
separately) to the amplier input marked
“Power” and insert the plug end into a
standard wall outlet.
The amplier may remain on all the time.
However, leaving the amplier 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 amplier
through the ignition switch so the amplier
is turned on and off with the vehicle.
NOTE: The aluminum casing of the SignalBoost™ amplier 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 amplier 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 amplier, nor do they pose a re risk.
As recommended in these instructions, when installing the amplier 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 amplier.
Carefully insert the power cable.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the
amplier unless the antenna and universal
connector cables are attached to the
amplier.
Warning: Use only Wilson power
supply units. Use of a non-Wilson
product may damage your equipment.
