Cel-Fi GO X is optimized for stationary

applications such as buildings, factories,

warehouses, and similar. It features 100dB

of system gain and provides the largest

cellular coverage footprint in its category.

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

Unit is operational,
but not attaching to a
network to boost.

• Make sure both antennas are connected
properly and are appropriate for the
desired frequencies to boost.

• Make sure the selected operator to
relay is available at your location. This
can be checked with the Cel-Fi WAVE
application. If the service is not available,
it cannot be boosted.

Solid RED LED Unit is not

operational.

• Unplug and reinsert power.

• If restart has no effect, contact vendor for
remedy.

Setup 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.

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

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.
