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.
