Powering up the Amplifi er
Make sure both the outside antenna and
universal connector cables are connected
before powering up the amplifi er.
For vehicle use, connect the power cable
from the DC power supply to the amplifi er
input marked “Power” and insert the large
end into DC power socket (the cigarette
lighter outlet).
For home or offi ce use, connect the
cable from the AC/DC power supply (sold
separately) to the amplifi er input marked
“Power” and insert the plug end into a
standard wall outlet.
The amplifi er may remain on all the time.
However, leaving the amplifi er on in a
vehicle when it is not running can discharge
the battery in a day or two.
A good option is to power the amplifi er
through the ignition switch so the amplifi er
is turned on and off with the vehicle.
NOTE: The aluminum casing of the SIGNALBOOST™ amplifi er will adjust very quickly to
the ambient temperature of its environment. For example, in the summer, when the inside
of a car can reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the amplifi er temperature may be 150 degrees
or higher. The casing will be hot to the touch, similar to a metal door handle or steering
wheel. Such high temperatures will not damage the amplifi er, nor do they pose a fi re risk.
As recommended in these instructions, when installing the amplifi er in a vehicle, select a
location with adequate ventilation, such as under the seat or dashboard. Keep the area
free of items that could block air fl ow to the amplifi er.
Carefully insert the power cable.
IMPORTANT: Do not power up the
amplifi er unless the antenna and universal
connector cables are attached to the
amplifi er.
Warning: Use only Wilson power
supply units. Use of a non-Wilson
product may damage your equipment.
