YX500-CEL Product Overview
Overview
Thank you for selecting the Wireless Extenders YX500-CEL. With the YX500-
CEL, you will now be able to use your cell phone INSIDE your home or office.
Gone are the days when you have to go to the window upstairs or walk outside
to get enough signal. Like a skylight that brings sunlight into your home, the
YX500-CEL transports and amplifies the outdoor cellular, 800MHz, signals into
your home or office.
By following the easy instructions in this installation guide, you will soon be
enjoying Wireless Where You Want It™.
Why Signals Can be
Weak
There are several obstacles that can contribute to the poor reception you
receive in your home or office:
Proximity of the Cell Phone Tower to your Home/Office
Unlike the sun, cell phone signals do not fill the sky from every direction. While
cell phone providers have tried to strategically install cell phone towers to provide
the best overall coverage, local ordinances and nature (e.g., lakes) can impose
restrictions on where these towers can be placed.
Obstructions Caused by Buildings and Land Masses
Like the sun when it sits low in the sky during early morning and late afternoon,
cell phone signals can be completely blocked or deflected by buildings, the walls
of the building you are in, clusters of trees, hills, etc.
