Optimal Coverage
from CU to NU
For Cel-Fi PRO to work correctly, use
your phone to find the best 3G, 4G or
LTE signal. Typically, you will get the
best signal upstairs near a window.
The NU and CU communicate with each other wirelessly to provide the best signal improvement possible. As the
distance between the units is increased, the CU adjusts its coverage bubble to provide the ideal amount of coverage.
Place the NU in the location where you
get the best cellular signal.
Place the CU in the location where
you need improved coverage.
Congratulations! Your Cel-Fi Smart
Signal Booster is now working.
Find the best cellular signal.
Optimize Coverage by moving the Coverage Unit.
Place the Network Unit (NU). Place the Coverage Unit (CU).
NOTE:
Your device may require REGISTRATION
prior to use. If so, please refer to the

Each Cel-Fi device may be supplied with mounting brackets and hardware to
mount both (or either) the Coverage Unit and the Network Unit.
NOTE: The brackets come equipped with screws and inserts for mounting in
standard drywall. Before you install the mounts, make sure there are no
wires or other objects, or metal plates, behind the drywall layer that will
interfere with the inserts, screws, mount, or mounted units.
NOTE: The Network Unit only has mounting holes on the back. The
Coverage Unit has mounting holes on the bottom and on the back. The
holes on the bottom of the Coverage Unit can be used for mounting the
Coverage Unit on a ceiling (See fig 7).
