CEl-FI ROAM R41 Installation guide

1. Install Donor Antenna

Mount your Donor Antenna on the exterior and towards the rear of your automobile or boat, depending on the design and type of vehicle. Make sure you consider the cable connection to the Main Unit with your location choice.

Note: For best performance, ensure there is 50 cm of metal around the base of the antenna.

2. Install the Server Antenna

Install the Server Antenna in the cabin/deck towards the front of the vehicle where coverage is needed. Make sure to mount the Server Antenna horizontally.

Note: The Donor Antenna should be separated/isolated as far away as possible from the Server Antenna, greater separation provides the best performance.

3. Select the Main Unit Location

Find a suitable location to securely mount the Main Unit. When installed, the Main Unit should have airflow and be in a position that doesn’t contact other objects.

Make sure the location provides enough distance for all the cables to connect. It’s best to ensure all cables reach desired locations BEFORE mounting the device.

Note: DO NOT plug in and power the Main Unit before connecting antennas. To avoid components moving or shifting in transit, it is critical to securely install the Main Unit, Donor Antenna, and Server Antenna.

4. Attach Server and Donor Antennas

Attach the Donor Antenna and Server Antenna to the Main Unit.

Note: Adding a drip loop to the Donor Antenna cable is crucial as it prevents water from flowing down the cable and damaging the Main Unit’s electronic equipment.

5. Install Ground Cable

Using the provided M3 screw, attach one end of the Ground Cable to the Main Unit and the other end to the chassis of the automobile or boat.

6. Plug in the Main Unit

Plug the Main Unit into automotive auxiliary power with the included Automotive Auxiliary Power Adapter. The LED on the front will blink during setup and turn solid green when the device is ready. After powering on the device, route the DC cable using the routing cable clamp.

Note: This device can ONLY be connected with a 12V auxiliary power outlet.
