The small antenna also works for car use, but if you're in a really remote area, Wilson offers a larger 12-inch antenna (sold separately for $34.95). While that makes us wonder if our brains will fry if we violate the perimeter, we had no problem maintaining our space with such a lengthy cable. The cable connecting it to the amplifier is quite long (10 feet), so you have a lot of freedom as to where to position everything-yet it's worth noting that Wilson advises that you place the antenna at least 11 inches from all people. Alternatively, you can use an optional bracket that attaches with suction cups to a window. For building use, there's a 4-inch antenna with a magnetic base, which you can position discreetly on a windowsill. The final part is the antenna for catching the cell phone signal. Fortunately, Wilson Electronics makes a wireless version of the device, which would be a better fit if you're on the go constantly. We didn't care for the arrangement, as the 7.5 foot cable limits your mobility when having a conversation outside of your car. As we said earlier, the SignalBoost uses a wired connection for delivering the amplified signal to your phone. If you see an orange/amber light, that means the outside signal from one of the nearby carriers is too strong, so you either have to turn down the gain controls or if you have a strong enough signal already, turn off the signal booster until you get to an area where you need it.The universal cell phone connector is a cable that attaches directly to your cell phone. To fix, increase the separation between the inside and outside antennas, ensure that the inside antenna is not facing the outside antenna, or turn down the gain control on the affected frequency until the red light turns green. If you see one or two red lights, it means there's feedback in the system. If after plugging in the amplifier, you see 2 green lights, that means that the system is working correctly so you can use your phone like you always do.
