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.



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.

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.

Weak or Hard To Hear Audio

If a caller’s voice sounds weak or soft, the signal might be blocked by large metal objects or walls; you might also be too far from the base, or the handset’s battery may be weak.



Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer to the base to see if the sound gets louder.



Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged.



Try adjusting the earpiece volume.

Noise or Static On The Line

Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a cordless phone. Here are some common sources of interference:



electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens



computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL modems

radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless

DSL filter

Telephone

cord

Telephone wall jack

controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers



large fluorescent light fixtures (especially if they give off a buzzing noise)



other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems, intercom systems, or broadband Internet

Do you use a T-Coil hearing aid?

If you have a hearing aid equipped with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the interaction between the hearing aid and digital cordless phones can cause noise in the handset. If you have a T-coil hearing aid and you have problems with noise on the line, try turning on

T-coil

mode. Open the menu; select

Handset Setup

, then select

T-coil

Using T-coil mode can shorten the handset’s talk time; make sure to watch the battery status and keep the battery charged.

service

Here are some hints for when the static is...

on 1 handset or in 1 location: on all handsets or in all locations:

Check nearby for one of the common interference sources. Try moving the handset away from a suspected source, or try moving the suspected source so it’s not between the handset and the base. Try moving closer to the base. There is always more noise at the edges of the base's range. If the handset displays an

Out of Range

message,

you need to move closer to the base.

Check near the base for the source of interference. Try moving the base away from a suspected source, or turn off the source if possible. If the base has an adjustable antenna, try raising the antenna so it stands straight up. If you have any service that uses the phone line, you might need a filter (see below).

Installing a line filter or DSL filter

Sometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line can interfere with phones. One of these services -DSL- often causes static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in any electronics store.

Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

Resetting and Registering Handsets

about

Registering Repeaters

Each of these bases can support up to two DRX402 Ultra- Range chargers, including any that were supplied with your phone.

Usually, you can't tell when a handset switches between the base and the charger in the middle of a call, but sometimes, you might notice a brief pause in your conversation.

Registering the Ultra-Range charger

Registering the Ultra-Range charger is a separate

process from registering the handset. You can use

the charger even if the handset is not registered.

On the base, open the menu and select

On the bottom of the Ultra- Range charger, press and hold the registration button until the

LINk

light starts to

blink (about 2 seconds). Release the button and wait

for the

LINk

light to turn on and steady (this can take about 90 seconds).

If the

LINk

light doesn't turn on, disconnect the charger's AC adapter. Wait about ten seconds, then try these steps again.

Some important things to remember:



If you are having trouble with a repeater or if you want to replace one, you need to register the repeater to the base.

TIP: Connect the repeater close to the base for easy access to the necessary buttons and indicators. Locate the repeater in the desired position after registration is complete.

On the base, open the menu and select 1.

On the bottom of the repeater you 2. want to register, press and hold the

LINK

registration button until the

light

blinks rapidly.

In about 90 seconds, the 3. LINK light on the repeater will turn on. The repeater has been registered to the base.

If the LINK light doesn't turn on, try these steps again.

- Only register one repeater at a time. If more than one repeater is in registration mode at the same time then they can interfere with each other.

- Only register a repeater to one base at a time. If more than one base is in registration mode at the same time then you can't control which base the repeater registers to.

Handling Liquid Damage

Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.



If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe off the liquid, and use as normal.



If moisture or liquid has entered the plastic housing (i.e. liquid can be heard in the phone or liquid has entered the handset battery compartment or vent openings on the base), follow these steps:

Handset Base

Remove the battery cover and disconnect the 1. battery. Let dry for at least 3 days with the battery 2. disconnected and the cover off for ventilation. After the handset dries, reconnect the battery 3. pack and replace the cover. Recharge the battery fully (15-20 hours) before using.

IMPORTANT: You must unplug the telephone line while recharging the battery pack to avoid charge interruption.

CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the drying process. This will cause permanent damage

to the handset, base and the microwave oven.

Disconnect the AC 1. adapter to cut off the power. Disconnect the 2. telephone cord. Let dry for at least 3 days 3. before reconnecting.

Battery Information



Fully charged, the battery should provide about 8 hours of talk time and about 7 days of standby time. For best results, return the handset to the cradle after each call to keep it fully charged.



Keep an eye on the battery status icon. When the battery gets too low, the handset shows a

low battery alert. If you hear a strange beep during a call, check the display: if you see the low battery alert, nish your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the cradle. If the handset is in standby, none of the keys will operate.



With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace the battery when the talk time becomes short even when the battery is charged. To buy a replacement battery, visit the website; www.uniden.com.au for Australian model or www.uniden.co.nz for New Zealand model.
