30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
90-Day Warranty
Wilson Electronics antennas are warranted for ninety (90) days 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.
This warranty does not apply to any amplifiers determined by Wilson Electronics
to have been subjected to misuse, abuse, neglect, or mishandling that alters or
damages physical or electronic properties.
How It Works
Wilson’s 15 dB 1900 MHz Yagi Antenna will collect the cell tower signal and send it
through the cable to an amplifier or directly to the cell phone or cellular data card. When
the cell phone or cellular data card transmits, the signal is transferred to an amplifier or
directly to the antenna and broadcast back to the cell tower.
Antenna Adapter
An 18-inch external adapter is required to connect the cell phone or cellular data card
to the Yagi antenna. The external adapter is cell phone/data card specific and may be
purchased through a local retailer. Refer to Wilson’s Adapter Guide to identify the right
adapter for your cell phone or cellular data card. The Adapter Guide is available through a
local retailer. It is also available on our web site, www.wilsonelectronics.com, or you may
call Technical Support at 866-294-1660.

Antenna Installation
The Yagi antenna should be mounted horizontally with the elements vertical. The included
mounting bracket is adjustable and will accommodate pipe diameters from 1.25” to 2”
(pipe not included). Mount the Yagi so that there is 3 feet of clearance in all directions
around it. Position the Yagi so that it has the most unobstructed line of sight to the cellular
service provider’s strongest signal. If you are using a wireless amplifier, make sure the
Yagi is not pointing across your own roof.
Warning: Lightning protection is recommended for all installations (Wilson Part
#859902). Take extreme care to ensure that neither you nor the antenna comes
near any electric power lines.
Special Note for Part # 301138 - This modified Yagi antenna is designed for use on a
tripod using an optional mounting bracket (available with Wilson Part# 859932 or 859934).
For installation details, please see the instructions that come with these accessories.

Important: If you are using a wireless amplifier, be sure the Yagi is not pointing
across the building in which you are trying to get coverage. The antenna should
point away from the building to help prevent oscillation (feedback).
Once you have obtained the strongest signal (see below), fully tighten the mounting
hardware. After the amplifier and the rest of the system is installed and performing
correctly, weatherproof all connections.
