Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola homesight™ Wireless Signal Repeater. The Wireless Signal
Repeater can act as an amplifier to stretch the communication distance from your Wireless System Controller to your
system’s wireless sensor devices.

The Motorola Wireless Repeater will work with up to 16 devices at a time.

Using Your Signal Repeater

The repeater must be placed between the Wireless System Controller and the device whose signal you wish it to
repeat. When positioning, avoid obstructions and metallic structures that might interfere with its functionality.

How It Works

The Wireless Signal Repeater can comunicate with the Wireless System Controller to a distance of up to 60 feet
indoors, and 200 feet outdoors. The unit relays the signals to and and from the Wireless System Controller and a
wireless device, effectively doubling the communication distance.

Installation Hints

The Motorola Wireless Signal Repeater is constructed of UV-resistant ABS plastic. Therefore, please consider the
following points when mounting the repeater:

• If installing the repeater outside, it should be shielded from the elements, such as underneath a porch roof. Do
not install the repeater where it is subjected directly to the elements.

• Typically, the repeater's wireless reception is good to up to 60–200 feet depending on indoor or outdoor use and
the number of obstacles. These can include metal framing, thick walls, and other wireless devices operating at
418 MHz. It is recommended that different positions be tried for optimal results.
