Top Signal Cel-Fi Go User manual

You can install the Cel-Fi G0 5th-Wheel & Towed
Vehicle system yourself or you can have it installed by
an RV dealer or service center. Installation requires
running 0.2-inch (5 mm) coax cable into your fifth-wheel,
RV, or trailer through an available opening or
a specially-drilled entry point. (Speak with a professional
if you’re not sure how to run cable into your rig.)
Installation tip:
We strongly recommend that
you do a “soft installation”
before permanently mounting
the OTR antenna and
pulling cable.
Drive to an area with weak
cell signal, then lay out and
connect all the components
inside your rig. Power up
the booster and check the
signal you receive from the
inside antenna using the
Cel-Fi WAVE smartphone app.
The app will tell you if the
booster is experiencing any
errors and, if so, how to resolve
them.

PART 1 OF 2 (Fifth-Wheel or RV)
There are four main components to install in your fifth-wheel or RV:
1. The outside OTR antenna with attached coax cable. Attach the antenna to a
ladder or rail using the included 3-way CB mount. We recommend mounting
this antenna at the very front or very back of the rig and pointing the inside
antenna away from the outside antenna. (This prevents signal oscillation and
reduced booster output.) Insert the SMA connector at the end of the cable
into a ¼-inch hole or other opening and pull the cable behind interior panels
and appliances to the booster. Do not pinch, kink, loop,
or coil the cable. Use the SMA / SMA barrel connector
included with the antenna to adapt the end of the cable to
the ᴅᴏɴᴏʀ port (the cell tower icon) on the booster.
2. The Cel-Fi GO Smart Signal Booster.®The booster should be placed where
it has access to a 120-volt AC power outlet. Don’t mount it permanently—
you’ll want to leave it free to move between your rig and your truck or car.
3. Inside coax cable. This system includes a 5- to 30-foot length of LMR195 coax
cable with SMA connectors. Connect one end of the cable to the booster’s
sᴇʀᴠᴇʀ port (the phone icon). Connect the other end to the panel antenna,
using the SMA / N adapter. Do not pinch, kink, loop, or coil the cable.
4. The inside directional panel antenna. This antenna stands upright on any flat
surface and broadcasts in the direction its front face is pointed. Once your
booster system is set up, you can move the panel antenna to where you
need cell signal most, inside or even outside of your rig.

PART 2 OF 2 (Truck or Tow-Away Vehicle)
There are four main components to install in your truck or car:
1. The outside magnet-mount antenna with attached coax cable. Place this
antenna on the roof of the vehicle, as far from windows and sunroofs as
possible; make sure there’s at least 18″ of metal around the base of the
antenna. Bring the thin coax cable inside the vehicle by threading it
underneath the weatherstripping in a doorway. Do not pinch, kink, loop, or
coil the cable. Connect the end of the cable to the ᴅᴏɴᴏʀ port (the cell tower
icon) on the booster. Aluminum-body trucks require a steel disc to be
adhered to the cab roof to attach the magnet-mount antenna.
2. The Cel-Fi GO Smart Signal Booster.®The booster should be placed where
the antenna cables and the power cable can reach it. Leave enough
clearance around it so it can stay cool. Don’t mount it permanently—you’ll
want to leave it free to move between your truck or car and your rig.
3. The inside server antenna with attached coax cable. This antenna has an
adhesive backing. Mount it vertically, with the short end pointing up. We
recommend mounting it as close as possible to your phone—if you have a
mount or cradle on your dashboard or in a cupholder, mount the antenna
right behind it. The closer the antenna is to your phone, the more gain you’ll
receive when outside signal is at its weakest. Do not pinch, kink, loop, or coil
the cable.
4. The 12-volt DC power supply. The power supply connects to a 12-volt
“cigarette lighter” power socket. Insert the small tip into the booster and twist
on the threaded collar to secure it. Do not pinch or kink the cable. (Unlike the
antenna cables, however, it can be looped or coiled.)

Stationary vs. mobile mode:
The Cel-Fi GO booster is both
a stationary booster, for use
when you’re parked, and a
mobile booster, for use when
you’re underway. Stationary
mode has more gain for
increased coverage area; in
mobile mode the booster
continually searches for
changes in tower strength and
location as you drive.
(Stationary mode works only
with the AC power supply.)
Use the Cel-Fi WAVE
smartphone app to switch
between modes:
•Power on the booster, then
launch the Cel-Fi WAVE
app on your iPhone or
Android smartphone. Wait
for the app to connect to the
booster, then tap the
Settings tab at the top of the
app.
•Expand the Booster
Settings section.
•Tap the Mobile or Stationary
option, then tap Accept.
