Product Usage Instructions

Select Donor Antenna Location

Using a cellphone for the operator you wish to boost, find a donor antenna location with the best signal quality. Phone signal bars and Internet speed tests work great (disable Wi-Fi when testing). Outdoors, higher up, and away from the server antenna is best. Test on different sides of the building, or consider an attic, upper window, or room with good service. Then install the donor antenna there.

Select Server Antenna Location

Install the server antenna where service is needed. This is typically a ceiling antenna or panel antenna laying face down on the ceiling drywall. Choose an open area for best propagation, far from the donor antenna. In larger spaces, use a splitter with low loss cable to feed multiple server antennas. Make sure both antenna cables will reach the GO G41 mounting location in the next step, or consider longer cables.

Mount the GO G41 & Connect Cables

Mount the GO G41 where power is available, using the supplied Drywall Anchors and Mounting Screws. Connect the donor and server antenna cables to the correct ports. Lightly torque the antenna cable connectors with a small wrench. Damage may result if over-tightened. Waterproof exterior connections and cable. Connect the DC Power Cable into the GO G41 and secure it with a power cable clamp. Plug in the AC Adapter. The Status LEDs on the GO G41 willbegin to blink.

Commission with the WAVE App

Download the WAVE App and allow it to connect to the GO G41. Follow the guided steps to set up the system, aim the donor antenna, resolve alarms, and optimize performance.

FAQ

Q: Where can I find additional accessories like antennas or cables?

A: For kit options, antennas, or cables, please contact your distributor or visit www.nextivityinc.com.

Q: Is the CEL-FI GO G41 suitable for outdoor use?

A: No, the CEL-FI GO G41 is designed for indoor use only. It should be kept in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area.

Q: How can I achieve better antenna separation for advanced installations?

A: For best results, separate the Donor and Server Antenna(s) as much as possible. Antenna separation (isolation) can be achieved with either physical distance or walls and floors between the antennas.

Q: What is the rating of the CEL-FI GO G41?

A: The CEL-FI GO G41 is rated for 50 dB.

Example Installation

How it Works: Enhances in-building cellular coverage. For kit options, antennas, or cables, contact distributor or visit www.nextivityinc.com.
Basic Functionality: The CEL-FI GO G41 connects to a Donor Antenna to receive signals from a chosen operator’s cellular network. It amplifies the signals through one or more server antennas for coverage where needed. The donor antenna is placed where there is a strong signal, preferably outdoors and positioned high. A cable splitter can connect additional server antennas for wider coverage. The WAVE App for smartphones and tablets is used to select the operator, help aim the donor antenna, and monitor performance.

Advanced Installation

For best results, separate the Donor and Server Antenna(s) as much as possible. Antenna separation (isolation) can be achieved with either physical distance or walls and floors between the antennas.

• Make sure any cables, splitters, and antennas used in the system are properly matched. (CEL-FI GO G41 is rated for 50 Ω)
• Many system configurations are possible, with up to four server antennas per GO G41 using low loss coaxial cable.
• Please Note: The LAN port on the GO G41 is for certified professional installers only.

Antenna Kitting: The following antennas are authorized to be used with GO G41:
