Step 1Find the spot with the best 3G/4G coverage:The rst step in setting up your Cel-Fi system is to nd the location in your home or oce with the best 3G or 4G signal. Use your phone to identify the area with the most bars of signal. Typically, the best service will be near a window in the highest oor of your home or oce. Make sure 3G/4G icon is displayed on your handset. Step 2Plug in the Window Unit:Plug the Window Unit into an easily accessible outlet near the area with the strongest 3G/4G signal. (Note: Both of the power supplies in your kit are identical.) Position the Window Unit so that at least one bar displays on the signal strength indicator on the front of the device. If you do not see at least one bar, try a dierent location.WINDOW UNITWINDOW UNITCOVERAGEUNITPantone: Black CPantone: 137CPantone: 542C T-mobile® Signal BoosterRS2 Dual BandFor additional information about Signal Booster Installation, please visit: T-Mobile.com > Support > search for “Signal Booster” > select in the drop down window “T-Mobile Cel-Fi Signal Booster” > below “Get Started with Your Device” select “Videos”.Before You Begin.You need one place in your home that gets at least one bar of 4G or LTE cov-erage, one bar of 4G or LTE signal strength, and the revolutionary NEW Cel-Fi RS3-DB system which will bring you blazing fast downloads, smoother video and surng, and improved voice coverage throughout your home.
