Safety precautions

Read the safety precautions and the user guide before use.
The device cannot be used in the event of a power failure. In case of a power failure it

is also not possible to make emergency calls.

Do not use the devices in environments with a potential explosion hazard
(e.g. paint shops).

The devices are not splashproof. For this reason do not install them in a damp environ­ment such as bathrooms or shower rooms.

Use only the power adapter indicated on the device.
Whilst charging, the power socket must be easily accessible.

Use only rechargeable batteries that correspond to the specification (see "Specifica­tions"). Never use a conventional (non-rechargeable) battery or other battery types as
this could result in significant health risks and personal injury. Rechargeable batteries,
which are noticeably damaged, must be replaced.

Remove faulty devices from use or have them repaired by our Service team, as these
could interfere with other wireless services.

Using your telephone may affect nearby medical equipment. Be aware of the technical
conditions in your particular environment, e.g. doctor's surgery. If you use a medical
device (e.g. a pacemaker), please contact the device manufacturer. They will be able to
advise you regarding the susceptibility of the device to external sources of high fre­quency energy (for the specifications of your Gigaset product see "Specifications").

Gigaset Repeater

Introduction

With the Gigaset Repeater, you can extend the range and reception strength of your base sta­tion. Up to 6 Gigaset Repeater units can be used with a single base station. The maximum num­ber depends on your base station and the type of DECT transmission (encrypted/unencrypted).

A maximum of 2 conversations can be held at the same time within the extended reception
range.

The number of handsets that can be registered to your base station is not affected by the Gigaset
Repeater.

Features of the Repeater HX:

• Encrypted calls

• Calls over a broadband connection (for internal or VoIP calls)

• Two repeaters per base for encrypted calls

• Six repeaters per base for unencrypted calls

Not all DECT phones support all features of the Repeater HX.
Details on the functionality of the Repeater HX on various Gigaset bases and routers can be

found on www.gigaset.com/compatibility

Repeater mode is not possible when ECO DECT is enabled on the base (radiation-free
or reduced range).

Socket for power supply unit

¤ Plug the lead from the power supply unit provided into the socket.

Preparing

Please refer to the user guide for your phone/router to check whether your base is suitable for
operating the repeater and how to prepare it for registering the repeater.

Before starting registration, position the Gigaset Repeater directly adjacent to the base station
and to a power connection. If you are already using Gigaset Repeaters, these must be switched
on and positioned close to the base station for this registration procedure.

Automatic registration

Carry out the following steps:

¤ Switch on Gigaset Repeater: Connect the power supply unit to a plug socket. Following this,

the device will enter registration mode for 5 minutes.

¤ Prepare the base station for registering the repeater, in the same way as you would to man-

ually register a handset. Please refer to the operating instructions for your base station.

The repeater will automatically be registered to the base station. The LEDs will indicate whether
registration was successful or unsuccessful, see page 5.

Ensure that no other base stations in registration mode are located close to the
Gigaset Repeater during this procedure.

De-registration

It may be necessary to de-register the repeater, for example if it has to be replaced. Information
about this can be found in the operating instructions of your base station, or via the system
menu of your phone e.g. C430/C430A, C530/C530A, CL660/CL660A, E630/E630A. For phones
without a repeater system menu, the repeater can be de-registered using the Reset Repeater
procedure, see page 6.
