Powering up a Wilson Amplifier

1. 

 IMPORTANT!

  Ensure that all insides and cellular data cards within 20 feet of 

the inside antenna are turned off.

2.  To verify proper installation of the amplifier and antennas, make sure that the 

distance between the inside and outside antennas is a minimum of 20 feet.

3.  If you are using an Yagi antenna as a outside antenna, never point the front of 

the Yagi toward the inside antenna.

4.  Ensure that both the outside antenna coax cable and the inside antenna coax 

cable are connected to the amplifier before powering up the amplifier.

5.  Plug the 6-volt power supply into the amplifier input marked “power” (carefully, 

to avoid damaging the center pin) and then into a wall outlet.

Warning: 

Verify that both the 

outside antenna and the inside 

antenna are connected to the amplifier 

before powering up the amplifier.

!

Warning: 

Use only the power 

supply provided in this package.  

Use of a non-Wilson product may 

damage your equipment.

!

NOTE: The aluminum casing of a Wilson amplifier will adjust very quickly to the  

ambient temperature of its environment.  For example, in the summer, when 

the attic of a house can easily exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the amplifier 

temperature may be 10 or more degrees higher.  The casing will be hot to the 

touch.  Such high temperatures will not damage the amplifier, nor do they pose 

a fire risk.  As recommended in these instructions, install the amplifier in a 

location with adequate ventilation.  Keep the area free of items that could block 

air flow to the amplifier.
