About the 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.
