Overview
A repeater is used when you need to extend the range of your cordless DECT
telephone or PBX cell station, to include areas where reception was previously not
available. The repeater extends the range in all directions, allowing several floors to
be covered.
Up to 6 repeaters can be registered at a DECT base unit, and up to 18 repeaters
can be registered at a PBX cell station (when utilising Serial Repeater ID
Programming).
Please note : The number of simultaneous calls on a Cell Station is reduced by
adding a repeater. This is by design. Each repeater is controlled using one speech
path. The repeater can support up to a maximum of two handsets.

• Compatible with selected Panasonic consumer DECT products. Please refer to your
repeater packaging or your DECT operating instructions for compatibility
information.
• Capable of providing full handover with TDA PBX products plus TD1232/TD816 with
TD7590 (a software upgrade may be necessary).
• Designed to be used as a range extender (no handover) using TD7580.
• Designed to be used as a range extender (no handover) using TD7590 (without the
software upgrade).
