Cel-Fi GO X: Smart Signal Booster
2
Basic Functionality
The Cel-Fi GO X connects to an external Donor Antenna to draw in
a cellular signal from the macro network. The Cel-Fi GO X Smart
Signal Booster nds the appropriate cellular signal, per the product’s
conguration, improves the signal, and amplies it. Improved service
is provided to the user via the Server Antenna.
NOTE: A Mobile version (“GO M”) of the product is available. Go to
cel‑.com for details.
Cel-Fi WAVE Mobile App
The Cel-Fi WAVE app provides a User Interface to Cel-Fi systems.
The app’s dashboard shows the system “Boost” value. A numeric
representation mapped to the amount of Signal Gain the system is
providing. Higher is better, with nine (9) being the highest value.
Cel-Fi WAVE and Cel-Fi GO X
Your Cel-Fi GO X will automatically select the strongest cellular
signal to boost. However, you may manually congure the system
preferences using Cel-Fi WAVE. Connect to Cel-Fi GO X with a
bluetooth enabled mobile device, and manage the boost settings.
NEMA 4 Rating
The Cel-Fi GO X is NEMA 4 rated, and can be used both indoors and
outdoors.
The NEMA 4 rating provides the following advantages:
• A degree of protection against ingress of solid foreign objects
(falling dirt and windblown dust)
• A degree of protection from the ingress of water (rain, sleet, snow,
splashing water, and hose directed water)
• Equipment will be undamaged by the external formation of ice
on the enclosure
LED MEANING
Solid Green The unit is working properly and boosting properly.
Blinking Green Unit is scanning for networks to boost.
Blinking RED The unit is in an error condition. Use the Cel-Fi WAVE app to
check the error code meaning and remedy.
Solid RED The unit has a hardware error and is not booting up normally.
Cel-Fi GO X features an LED on the top face to indicate the unit’s state:
NOTE: In mobile usage, it is normal for the Cel-Fi GO M to uctuate between
scanning and boosting. The Cel-Fi GO M automatically adjusts its boost
behavior based on available signal.

Cel-Fi GO X Installation
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• Install antenna at least 12 inches from any other antennas
for best performance
• Antenna should be free of obstructions
• Antenna should be away from windows (including sunroof
or other openings)
• Install 8 inches away from any people
Install Donor Antenna

Find the location with the best signal. Install Donor
Antenna where the mobile device receives this signal.

DONOR ANTENNA NOT INCLUDED
SAFETY: DO NOT INSTALL any equipment close to power
lines or drill into walls or other structural elements without
rst ensuring the location is safe and that there are no hidden
items that could cause injury.
Install Server Antenna where coverage is needed.
SERVER ANTENNA NOT INCLUDED
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• For best results, install Donor and Server Antennas such
that there is substantial material between the antennas.
This will create isolation and allow the system to perform
at higher gain without oscillation or feedback.
• Keep Donor and Service Antennas separated/isolated
from each other for best performance
• Do not use cable splitters for Donor Antennas.
• Follow the installation instructions for your chosen antennas.

6Setup System with Cel-Fi WAVE
The system is congured to automatically select
the best cellular service to boost. This step can be
skipped for any user that wants to keep the automatic
settings. However, a user may manually congure
the system’s boost preferences using the Cel-Fi
WAVE app. To do this, use the Cel-Fi WAVE app on a
smartphone with Bluetooth enabled to connect to the
Cel-Fi GO X system, and manage the boost settings.
