PACKAGED CONTENTS
In the package you will nd:
Window Unit
Coverage Unit
Two power adapters.

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 oce 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 dierent location.

Step 4
Place the Coverage Unit
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
indicating that the unit is working prop-
erly. it is possible to place the Coverage
Unit so far away that it cannot commu-
nicate 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.
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 signicant dierence in the operation of the Cel-
Fi system. Try moving the Window Unit to a couple of dif-
ferent 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 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.
