Congratulations on your new
indoor signal solution.
This Cel-Fi system is designed to provide you with signicant
improvements in coverage as well as 3G data rates.
Setting up the system is extremely simple and
consists of placing and plugging in two components;
a Window Unit and a Coverage Unit.
By spending just a few minutes using the instructions in this
guide, you can optimize the installation and get the very most
from your new Cel-Fi System.
If you have any trouble during setup, please use the trouble
shooting steps included in this guide.
In the package you will nd:
Window Unit
Coverage Unit
Two power adapters.

Quick Start Guide
Step 1
Find the spot with the best 3G coverage:
The rst step in setting up your Cel-Fi system is to
nd the spot in your home or oce that has the best
3G coverage. This is typically by a window, and if you
are in a multi-story building, upstairs windows are
usually better than downstairs windows.
Step 2
Plug in the Window Unit:
Take the Window Unit and one power supply out of
the box (both power supplies are the same, so grab
either one). Plug the Window Unit in, and check to
make sure that you can see at least 1 “Bar” on the
display in the center of the device. If you do not see
at least 1 bar, try a dierent location.

TOO CLOSE
A zero on the numeric

the “Coverage Unit”
needs to be moved
farther away from the
“Window Unit”.
GOOD

indicates that the
“Coverage Unit” is
functioning normally.
TOO FAR
This red icon indicates

Unit” needs to be
moved closer to the
“Window Unit”.
Step 3
Optimize the Window Unit Placement
The number of bars you can see on the Window
Unit make a significant difference in the operation of
the Cel-Fi system. Try moving the Window Unit to a
couple of different spots to see if you can get better
signal; the more bars the better.
Step 5
Optimize The Coverage Unit Placement
The farther away you place the coverage unit from the Window unit the better the coverage in
your home, so put the Coverage Unit as far away from the Window Unit as possible.
The number shown on the side of the display gives you an indication as to the quality of the
placement. Test two or three locations and for best results; try and get a 7, 8 or 9 on the display.
