Frequently Asked Questions - Signal 3G Wilson

How do I install the Wilson Signal 3G amplifier?

Connect the amplifier between your antenna and TV using coaxial cables. Ensure the power supply is plugged in and the LED lights up. Adjust gain if necessary.

Will this amplifier work with digital TV signals?

Yes, it amplifies both analog and digital TV signals (DVB-T/T2) within its frequency range.

Can I use it outdoors?

The amplifier is designed for indoor use. For outdoor installation, protect it from moisture with a weatherproof enclosure.

Why is my picture still poor after installation?

Check cable connections, ensure the amplifier is powered, and try adjusting the gain. Also verify that your antenna is correctly positioned and the signal is within range.

Does it amplify all channels equally?

Yes, it provides flat gain across the entire VHF/UHF band, amplifying all channels uniformly.

What is the maximum cable length I can use?

The amplifier compensates for cable loss; typical runs up to 30 meters are fine. Longer runs may degrade signal.

How do I know if the amplifier is working?

The LED indicator on the amplifier should be lit when powered. If not, check the power source and connections.

Can I connect multiple TVs to one amplifier?

This model has one output. For multiple TVs, use a separate distribution amplifier or splitter after the amplifier.

Is the amplifier compatible with satellite TV?

No, it is designed for terrestrial TV signals only, not satellite LNB signals.

What should I do if the amplifier gets wet?

Immediately disconnect the power and dry it thoroughly. Do not use until fully dry. If damage occurs, contact Wilson support.

Before Getting Started

Before you install your Signal 3G 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 finish.
2. Familiarize yourself with all materials in your product package. This will allow you to know which pieces are referenced in the instructions.

Quick Installation

You can install your Signal 3G booster using the following steps.

NOTE: Before completing your installation, create a "soft" installation by putting the components of your Signal 3G booster in place and testing the operation before mounting equipment.

1. Install the Outside Antenna. Select a location on top of the structure that is:

antennas.

• Free of obstructions.
  • At least 8 inches from any people.

The Outside Antenna must be installed vertically on a metallic surface.

• At least 12 inches from any other

1. 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.

2. Run the Outside Antenna cable to the Signal Booster and attach it to the connector labeled "Outside Antenna."

1. 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.

1. Before powering up the Signal Booster verify that connections are tight. An AC surge protector is recommended for all installations (not included).

Installing the (Optional) Mounting Plate

To purchase a mounting plate contact Wilson Electronics Sales Team 435-673-5021.

1. Remove two screws from back of Signal Booster that correspond with the mounting plate.

1. Place Signal Booster on mounting plate and reinstall the two screws previously removed from back of Signal Booster.

Caution: Do not remove "Void Sticker."

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.

Each Signal Booster is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. 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 term "IC" before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.

2-Year Warranty

Wilson Electronics Signal Boosters are warranted for two (2) years against defects in workmanship and/or materials. Warranty cases may be resolved by returning the product directly to the reseller with a dated proof of purchase.

Signal Boosters may also be returned directly to the manufacturer at the consumer's expense, with a dated proof of purchase and a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number supplied by Wilson Electronics. Wilson Electronics shall, at its option, either repair or replace the product. Wilson Electronics will pay for delivery of the repaired or replaced product back to the original consumer if located within the continental U.S.

This warranty does not apply to any Signal Boosters determined by Wilson Electronics to have been subjected to misuse, abuse, neglect, or mishandling that alters or damages physical or electronic properties.

Failure to use a surge protected AC Power Strip with at least a 1000 Joule rating will void your warranty.
