Congratulations on your new
indoor signal solution.
This Cel-Fi system is designed to provide you with signicant improve-
ments in coverage as well as 3G data rates.
Setting up the system is extremely simple and consist 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.
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 by using your
phone’s display of a 3G or 4G icon. This is typically by a window,
and if you are in a multi-story building, upstairs windows are usu-
ally 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.

Step 4
Place the Coverage Unit
Move to a location in your home where you need to have improved
coverage. Plug the Coverage Unit in and wait until the numeric
display stops cycling, this could take several minutes.
At this point you should see a green icon indicat-
ing that the unit is working properly. It is possible to
place the Coverage Unit so far away that it cannot
communicate with the Window Unit. If this hap-
pens, a red icon will illuminate indicating that you
need to move the Coverage Unit closer to the
Window Unit.

TOO CLOSE
A zero on the numeric
display indicates that
the Coverage Unit
needs to be moved
farther away from the
Window Unit.
GOOD
This green icon indicates
that the Coverage Unit
is functioning normally.
TOO FAR
This red icon indicates
that the Coverage
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
signicant dierence in the operation of the Cel-Fi system. Try
moving the Window Unit to a couple of dierent 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.
