Mounting Tips for Running Outside Antenna
Cable
If you are mounting the Outside Antenna on the roof of your building, we
have found that it is easiest to run your cable underneath the down side
of your roof’s flashing. If you have satellite TV service installed at your
home or office, you may be able to follow the same route as the satellite
TV cables that are already running from the outside of your building to the
inside.
After routing the cable, we recommend sealing any areas where the cable
passes into the building with silicone, cable bushings or other waterproof
sealant to keep your installation from leaking. If you are mounting the
When installing your Signal Booster’s Outside Antenna, aiming it towards
the best signal source from you service provider is important. The best
way to get the strongest signal is to have one person on the roof to rotate
the Outside Antenna, which is connected to the Signal Booster. Turning
the Outside Antenna about 45 degrees at a time, while the second person
is watching the signal strength on the phone inside the building. This
allows you to read the signal strength from the cell tower. It is preferable to
have the phone in the test mode so the actual signal strength can be read,
as bars are not the most accurate. Go to www.WilsonElectronics.com for
help in finding the test mode for your phone. Always make sure the person
inside the building gives the signal time to arrive and register on the phone.
(Between 10-30 seconds for phone to reset the signal reading).
Signal readings usually appear as a negative number (for example, -86).
The closer you get to zero the stronger the signal. (See graph above).
