How it works
An XDECT R005 repeater can extend the range of your base in all
directions, including up and down. The XDECT R005 repeater unit is
also a charger for the accessory handset.
Each handset will automatically connect to the repeater or the base,
depending on which signal is stronger, and the handset operates
exactly the same way whether it's connected to the base or to the
repeater.
The repeaters must be registered to the base before you can use
them. Any repeaters that come packaged with the base are
already registered to that base. For instructions on registering
repeaters to the base, see page 50.
Note: Base range (grey
area) and repeater range
(dotted outline around
repeater) is represented
here as circular. Actual
coverage area will vary
depending on environment.
Your base supports a
total of six
XDECTR005
repeaters, including
any that were supplied
with your phone.
9
Repeaters can be up to 3 chain-links (maximum) from the base
Example of coverage area with 6 repeaters (maximum total)
You can
roam anywhere
within range of the
base or the
repeater(s) and make and
receive calls as usual from your handsets.
If you want to use the repeater with a new base, simply register
the repeater to the new base (see page 50). The repeater
overwrites its own link to the base.
Placing repeaters
Here are a few tips for placing your repeater so that you get the
clearest signal and the maximum range:
Make sure you have good reception from the base
For best performance put the repeater at least 10m away from
the base or any other repeater. (If you install the repeater on a
different floor from the base, don't forget to allow 10m vertically,
also).
If possible, mount the repeater on the wall.
10
Picking the best spot
The best spot for the repeater is as far from the base as possible
while still maintaining a good signal, or near the edge of the base’s
coverage area. To find the edge of the coverage area:
Stand near the base 1.
and make a call on
the handset.
While on the call, 2.
carry the handset
away from the base
towards the general
area where you want
to put the repeater.
Watch the signal 3.
strength icon on the
handset. Make a
note where the icon
drops from 4 bars to
3 bars.
Continue walking 4.
away from the base.
Make a note where the signal strength icon drops from 3 bars to 2
or if you start to hear noise on the line (which indicates the signal
is getting weaker).
Place the repeater anywhere inside the range where the signal 5.
strength icon showed 3 bars and the handset had a clear signal
with no noise.
Testing the location
Connect the repeater's AC adapter and make sure the
comes on and steady. If the light flashes, the repeater
is not getting a good signal. The repeater may be too
far away from the base, there may be interference
from electronic devices, or the signal might be
blocked by thick walls or metal objects. Try
moving the repeater to another location.
