Figure 1: Repeater
You can use a repeater to extend the operating range for the AT&T SB67118 DECT 6.0 4-line corded/cordless telephone system to cover areas where the signal is very weak or not available. The repeater extends the range in all directions, even going around certain barriers.
The telephone base, cordless handsets and repeaters are linked through wireless connections. When configured properly, you should not notice any reception problems as you move around within the covered area.
Up to six repeaters can be registered to the telephone base. There can be two repeaters in series going between the base and handsets. The first repeater can be up to 950 feet away from the base. The second repeater can be up to 950 feet away from the first repeater. Handsets work up to 950 feet from the base or any repeater, so with two repeaters in series, handsets work up to 2,850 feet away from the base. The figure below shows an example of how you might choose to setup your system.

My repeater doesn’t work at all.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in. Make sure the STATUS indicator light is on. If
the light is off or flashing, the repeater is not registered or the base has no power.
Make sure you raise the antennas of your repeater. Make sure you install the repeater in a high
location (not on the floor or under a desk) for better reception.
Do not place the repeater near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet. You might experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating.
Other electronic products can cause interference to your repeater. Try installing your repeater as far away from the following electronic devices as possible: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
You may need to walk to the location of your repeater and initiate a call from your cordless handset (SB67108) to test if the reception of the cordless handset is good. If the performance is less than expected, you may need to relocate your repeater closer to the telephone base. Then try placing a call on the cordless handset again.
