CEL-FI RS2 Dual Band User manual

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 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.

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 by using your
phone (3G icon must be displayed). 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 identical, so you can use either one).
Window Unit into an easily accessible outlet. 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.

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
happens, a red icon will illuminate indicating that
you need to move the Coverage Unit closer to the
Window Unit.

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 a 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.

ing the Window Unit to a location with higher signal, the more bars the better!
