Diverse Repeater ~ 4th Edition ~ 25th April ’01 ~ 3831
4
The Diverse Repeater can be used on all BT Diverse Base Stations with the exception of the Diverse 1000. Up to six Repeaters can be installed on a single base station and each Repeater can support up to 2 handsets each. The registration of Repeaters on the base station does not reduce the number of handsets that can be registered to the base station.
A typical arrangement is shown below
You can operate two handsets in the reception range of the repeater.
If you wish to operate more than two handsets you must increase the number of repeaters for the reception range.
Introduction
IMPORTANT NOTE
It is possible to roam between the repeater
and the base, however, call handover during
conversation is not always guaranteed.
IMPORTANT NOTE
It is not possible to further extend the range
in one direction by registering a second
repeater to the first repeater. All repeaters
must be within range of the base station as
the repeater can only be registered to a base
station and not
another repeater.

General
Use only approved Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad) or Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable AA batteries for the additional handsets. Never use other types of rechargeable batteries or conventional alkaline batteries. Using such batteries could lead to a short circuit or destroy the battery casing. Recommended batteries should have a power rating of 600m Ah 1.2V. Batteries are available from the Diverse Helpline
08457 908070.
Only use the power supply included with the product. Using an unauthorised power supply will invalidate your guarantee and may damage the Repeater. The item number for the mains power supply is C39280-Z4-C174 formally C39280-Z4-C67.
The Diverse Repeater operates by transmitting radio signals. These signals may cause interference to hearing aids. This product should not be used near emergency/intensive care medical equipment and should not be used by people with pacemakers.
Diverse Repeater can interfere with other electrical equipment, such as answering machines, TV and radio sets, clock radio/alarms and computers if placed too close. It is recommended that you place your Diverse Repeater at least one metre away from such appliances to avoid any risk of interference.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion and/ or the release of highly toxic chemicals.
Cleaning
The Diverse Repeater should be wiped with a damp (not wet) cloth or an antistatic wipe. Do not use a dry cloth as it could cause a static discharge resulting in damage to the Repeater.
Environmental
The Diverse Repeater will produce a certain amount of heat during operation. Equally additional handsets as well as the chargers can become warm during charging. Whilst this is entirely safe, we advise against placing these products on antique, veneered or wooden surfaces as damage may occur.
Do not stand your product on carpets or other surfaces which generate fibres, or place it in locations preventing free flow of air over its surfaces.
Do not use the Diverse Repeater and handsets in damp, humid conditions such as bathrooms. Do not expose any of the equipment or batteries to fire or water.
There is a slight chance that your phone could be damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that you unplug your Diverse from the mains power and telephone line socket during storms.

2 screws and wall plugs.
The power adaptor has a long lead with a small plug on the end of it which has to be plugged into the socket on the back of the Repeater as shown in the diagram.
You should use a free mains socket in the vicinity of your base unit so that the Repeater and base unit can be near each other during registration.

Press the Phone button. If the handset is in communication via the Repeater.
(a) If the Repeater confidence tone
was switched on during registration then you should hear a beep at 2 second intervals.
(b) You should hear dial tone
through the earpiece.
NOTE
If you switch off a handset (or remove its
batteries) or take it out of the reception range
of both Repeater and base station the above
step will need to be repeated for that handset.
This does not apply if using a Diverse ISDN.
NOTE
Blind spots (where signal is weak) can
cause loss of signal. Avoiding blind spots
will reduce the risk of losing a call and
the necessity to re-introduce the handset to
the Repeater.
PLEASE NOTE
If the Repeater is switched off, the above
procedure will need to be repeated for all
handsets.
Plug the Power Adaptor into the mains socket.
Switch on the mains power. The Repeater LED should light up then after about 5 seconds the LED will flash off and on several times after which it should remain permanently on. If the LED still continues flashing it indicates either a poor reception from the base station (too far away) or it was not registered properly with the base station.
Ensure all your handsets have been registered to the same base station as the Repeater.
Turn the Repeater confidence tones on/off as required (see page 14).
Switch on each of your handsets (one at a time) within the Repeater reception area, outside the base reception area. The handsets should bring up their idle screen after a few seconds of searching for a signal.
NOTE
If using more than one Repeater on a base
station you should ensure the Repeaters are
placed at least 10 metres apart.

The unit may be left free standing or mounted on a wall using the wall plugs and screws provided.
Wall mount the Repeater if required (optional)
NOTE
The screw heads should protrude 5mm
from the wall.
A Repeater can support up to two handsets simultaneously to make or receive calls. If you try to use a third handset to make an internal/external call via the Repeater whilst two handsets are using it, the call will fail.
It may, however, still be possible for a third handset to make a call if it is near the main base station. (The number of simultaneous internal/external calls will vary according to the type of base station you use, please refer to the base station user guide.)

The Repeater has the option to provide a confidence signal (a confirmation beep every 2 seconds) which sounds when moving from the base station area to the repeater area.
The default setting for the confidence signal is OFF.
It is suggested that the confidence tone is switched ON to aid installation and to get an idea of the base and Repeater reception areas.
Before starting this procedure the Repeaters power adaptor must be connected to the Repeater and the mains socket, but switched OFF at the mains socket.
At the Repeater:
Switch the power to the Repeater ON for between 1 to 5 seconds then switch it OFF.
Switch the power to the Repeater ON again and wait for the LED on the Repeater to slowly flash ON and OFF (see note).
Switch the power to the Repeater OFF then ON again (see note). If the confidence tone was off it should now be on and if the confidence tone was on it should now be off.
Using your Diverse Repeater
To turn the Repeater’s confidence tone on and off
NOTE
If the LED did not flash on and off you will
have to repeat the above procedure again.
WARNING
In steps 2 and 3 you must keep an eye
on the time when the power was turned on
while waiting for the LED to slowly flash
on and off. If you turn off the power after
it has been on for between 25 and
35 seconds you will reset the Repeater.
If this happens you will need to re-register
the Repeater to the base again.
Before re-installing the Repeater, it needs to be reset. Before starting, make sure the Repeaters power adaptor is connected to the Repeater and the mains socket, but switched off at the mains.
At the Repeater:
Switch on for 1 to 5 seconds and switch it off again.
Switch on for 25 to 35 seconds and switch it off again. The Repeater should now be reset.
