Installing a Wilson Amplifi er

Select a location to install the amplifi er that is away from excessive heat, direct 
sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation.  Do not place the amplifi er in 
an air-tight enclosure.

Recommended installation locations for in-building amplifi ers are:
•  On a wall
•  On a desk
•  Near a power outlet

Run the outside antenna cable to the amplifi er and attach it to the connector 
labeled “outside antenna” on the amplifi er.  Run the inside antenna cable to the 
amplifi er and attach it to the connector labeled “inside antenna” on the amplifi er.

Note: Be careful when plugging the connector in so as not to damage the center 
pins on the connectors.

Connect the outside antenna to the amplifi er with low loss coax cable (available 
from Wilson Electronics).  Place the inside antenna in the center of the area 
needing the amplifi ed signal.  It is important to have at least 70 feet of separation 
between the antenna and amplifi er.
