YX500-CEL Installation Guide
Determine the
Needed Coverage
Area
Identify the location in your home/office where you need signal coverage the
most. The YX500-CEL can cover approximately 2500 square feet (coverage
varies based on outdoor signal level, building construction, and general
installation care). Walls, ceilings or floors will reduce the coverage area.

Location of Signal
Antenna and Base
Unit Antenna
It is recommended that the Signal Antenna and Base Unit Antenna have
approximately 15 feet of vertical separation. If the antennas are too close
together, the Install light on the Base Unit will shine or flash red indicating a
problem (See Troubleshooting section).
Place the Signal Antenna as high as possible to capture the best signal.
Additional Cable
Requirements
If the distance between the Signal Antenna and the Base Unit exceeds 35 feet,
you will need to purchase additional coaxial cable. You must use RG-6 coaxial
cable and connectors, which are rated for Outdoor Satellite TV use and can be
found at many home improvement and electronic stores.
For the best performance, purchase Wireless Extenders RG-6 low-loss
extension cables from our website or your retailer (see page 2). The total
cable length should not exceed 70 feet unless you also purchase an upgraded
signal antenna (page 2). A longer cable is helpful only if it allows you to place
the signal antenna in a location where you measure stronger signal.
Power
Requirements
The Base Unit can be plugged into a standard 2-prong 110 VAC receptacle
using the included power supply. The power supply consumes less than 10W
(less than 0.2A).
