Important Information
• When driving the screws into the wall, be careful to avoid touching any metal laths, wire laths or metal
plates in the wall.
• To prevent malfunction, deformity, overheating, rust, and discoloration, do not install or place
equipment in the following types of locations:
– Locations where air ventilation is poor.
– Locations that may be exposed to sulphurous gas, such as near hot springs.
– Near devices that emit heat, such as heaters.
– Near devices that emit electromagnetic noise, such as radios or televisions.
– Near devices that emit high-frequency noise, such as sewing machines or welders.
• Do not stretch or bend the cable. Also, do not allow anything to rest on the cable.
• The unit and the cable should never be placed near or over a radiator or other heat source.
• Do not bundle the cable that is connected to the unit with the AC power cords of machines located
nearby.
• Make sure the cable is securely fastened to the wall.
• The AC adaptor is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the AC adaptor is located near the
unit and is easily accessible.
• Disconnect the AC adaptor cord from the unit before cleaning. Clean the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do
not use liquid, aerosol cleaners, abrasive powders, or chemical agents to clean the unit.
• When left unused for a long period of time, disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.
• Medical—consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers, to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates
in the frequency range of 1920 MHz to 1930 MHz, and the output peak power level is less than
0.12 W.) Do not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulations posted in the area instruct you
not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF (radio frequency) energy.
SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

• To ensure the security of private conversations, only connect the unit to a secure network.
• To prevent unauthorized access, only connect the unit to a network that is properly managed.
Notice
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• Before connecting the unit, confirm that the unit supports the intended operating environment.
• If the unit does not operate properly, disconnect the AC adaptor cord, then connect again.
• The unit may not operate in the event of a power failure.
• Do not move the unit while it is in use.
• Satisfactory operation, interoperability, and compatibility cannot be guaranteed with all equipment
connected to the unit, nor with all services provided by telecommunications providers over networks
connected to the unit.
SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using the wireless systems.

F.C.C. REQUIREMENTS AND RELEVANT INFORMATION
CAUTION
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate this device.
Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Some wireless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs.
To minimize or prevent such interference, the repeater should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR.
If interference is experienced, move the repeater and wireless telephone further away from the TV or VCR.
This will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.
RF Exposure Warning:
This product complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To comply
with FCC RF exposure requirements, this product must be installed and operated in accordance with the
provided instructions. The installed unit requires a minimum 20 cm (8 inches) of spacing between the product
and a person’s body (excluding hands, wrists and feet) during wireless modes of operation.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antennas or transmitters.

System Overview
A repeater is used when you need to extend the range of a DECT 6.0 Portable Station (PS) or DECT 6.0 Cell
Station (CS) connected to a PBX, 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 to one CS, and up to 3 repeaters can be arranged in a cascade
configuration.
The number of simultaneous calls on a CS 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 4 simultaneous calls.
Note
In this manual, the illustrations of the PBX are based on the KX-NCP500.
