Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MSTBefore Getting StartedBefore you install your Signal 4G booster and start enjoying improved cellular reception, please do the following:1.   Read through all the installation steps. This will help you know what to expect from start to nish.2.   Watch the YouTube video demonstrating the Signal 4G installation at: wilsonelectronics.com/signal4Gvideo3.   Familiarize yourself with all materials in your product package. This will allow you to know which pieces are referenced in the instructions.Quick InstallationYou can install your Signal 4G booster using the following steps.NOTE: Before completing your installation, create a “soft” installation by putting the components of your Signal 4G booster in place and testing the operation before mounting equipment.

4Need help? www.WilsonElectronics.com Tech Support  866-294-1660Mon.- Fri. Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MSTTroubleshooting &  Understanding the Light The Signal Boost includes a indicator light on the side of the Drive 4G-S. The indicator light will either be green or red.   Green indicates that the booster is powered and operating at maximum gain.   Solid  Red indicates that the booster has shut off on the associated frequencies to prevent oscillation (feedback).   Green/red  Blinking indicates that the booster is operating at a reduced gain to prevent oscillation (feedback).Fixing Red Light Issues If one or more lights on the Signal Boost are red: 1.  Make sure all connections are tight. 2.   Increase the distance between the outside antenna and the Drive 4G-S, by moving them horizontally and/or vertically farther apart until the light change to green. Remember to keep the antenna at least 6 inches from any window or sunroof.3.   Follow the same steps for a green/red blinking light until the light goes solid green.4.   If more separation is not possible and the coverage of the booster is too small with a green/red blinking light indicating reduced gain, contact the weBoost Customer Support Team for assistance:  866-294-1660.Lights Off 1.   Check connections on the power supply to see that it is rmly plugged into both the Drive 4G-S and the power source.2.   If using a DC power supply in your vehicle, ensure the power supply is properly inserted. Then check the 12 volt power from the car socket and the fuse. Replace the fuse if necessary. 3.   If using a power strip in a building, ensure the power strip is plugged in and turned on and that power is coming from the outlet.2.   Select a location to install the Signal Booster that is away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the Signal Booster in an  air-tight enclosure.3.   Run the Outside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to the connector labeled “Outside Antenna.” From Outside AntennaFrom Cellular DevicePower Adapter From Surge Protector4.   An external adapter may be needed to connect the cellular device to the Signal Booster. The external adapter plugs into the included antenna extension cable and directly into a socket on the cellular device. Run the extension cable from the external adapter and attach it to the connector labeled “cell phone or data card” on the Signal Booster.   Note: Be careful when plugging the connector in so as not to bend the center pins on the connectors. Ensure all cables have a tight connection.5.   Before powering up the Signal Booster verify that connections are tight. An AC surge protector is recommended for all installations (not included).  tight connectiontight connectionPower Adapter to Surge Protector

Technical Support can be reached from 7:00am to 6:00pm MST, by calling (866-294-1660), or by email, at tech@wilsonelectronics.com.How does weather affect the performance of my Outside Antenna?Water vapor (e.g. rain, fog, snow or other precipitation) creates an effective lter to cellular signal. In times of heavy precipitation, you may see less performance.What’s the difference between the 800 MHz and the 1900 MHz bands? How do I know which MHz band my cell phone uses?The Signal 4G booster works with all major North American cellular providers. Traditionally, 800/1900MHz are associated with voice and 3G data; while 700MHz and 1700/2100MHz are associated with 4G data. Carrier Frequency UseWe recommend visiting www.wirelessadvisor.com (United States) or http://bit.ly/1mQf2Gl (Canada) for information regarding the frequency band used by your cell service provider in a specic geographical location.

The Signal Booster cannot be adjusted without factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Booster will amplify, but not alter incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Booster is not in use for five minutes, it will reduce gain until a signal is detected. If a detected signal is too high in a frequency band, or if the Signal Booster detects an oscillation, the Signal Booster will automatically turn the power off on that band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Booster will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1 minute. After 5 (five) such automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut off until the Signal Booster has been manually restarted by momentarily removing power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor.The Manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
