Finding The Strongest Signal - Wilson Electronics Pro Serie Guide D'installation

Note: Do not install in areas subject to temperatures in excess of 150 °F.
Note: Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance from surrounding objects. Be careful
when plugging the connector in so as not to damage the center pins on the connectors.
Run the outside antenna cable to the signal booster and attach it to the connector
labeled "Outside Antenna" on the signal booster. Run the inside antenna cable to the
signal booster and attach it to the connector labeled "Inside Antenna" on the signal
booster.
Note: In order to abide by FCC regulations, cable lengths and antennas shipped as a kit
with each booster must be used and not cut and shortened. Contact our tech support for
cable kits to be used in situations requiring long cable runs.
Note: It is very important to power your signal booster using a surge protected AC
power strip with at least a 1000 Joule rating. Failure to do this will void
your warranty in the event of a power surge or lightning strike

Finding the Strongest Signal

When installing your signal booster's outside antenna, aiming it towards the best
signal source from your carrier is important. The best way of getting the strongest
signal is to use the Wilson Signal Meter and accessory Directional antenna (see
outside antenna kit options on page 14), an alternate way is to have one person
on the roof to rotate the outside antenna, which is connected to the signal booster.
Turn the outside antenna about 45 degrees at a time, while the second person,
inside the building, is watching the signal strength on a signal meter (preferred)
or a phone in test mode. This allows you to read the signal strength from the cell
tower. The phone should be in the test mode so the actual signal strength can be
read, as bars are not the most accurate. Go to www.wilsonelectronics.com/test-
mode-instructions for help in finding the test mode for your phone. Always make
sure the person inside the building gives the signal strength time to register on the
phone (at least 30 seconds for phone to update the signal reading).

Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -86). The closer
the number to zero, the stronger the signal (see Signal Srength Graph above).
