Overview Overview A repeater is used when you need to extend the range of a handset or a DECT Portable Station (PS) or a SIP/Digital handset 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 Cell Station (CS) and up to 2 repeaters can be registered to one base unit. Also, up to 3 repeaters can be arranged in a cascade configuration.
Overview Repeater Coverage Area As a guideline, the example below shows the size of the coverage area where one repeater can synchronize with a CS/base unit/destination repeater, or provide coverage for a PS/handset, if it is installed in an area with no obstacles. Note R The distance may vary depending on the environment.

1. Linking to Cell Stations Procedure Overview When registering and installing the repeater, follow the procedure below to ensure smooth operation. Registering the Repeater Note R Register repeaters one by one. Do not register multiple repeaters simultaneously. R Do not disconnect the AC adaptor of any registered repeaters until the registration of all repeaters is complete. R After the registration of all repeaters is complete, proceed to the next step—"Installing the Repeater".
1. Linking to Cell Stations Registering the Repeater Easy Registration In easy registration, the repeater can be registered to a CS easily. Note R Easy registration cannot be performed if the repeater is already registered to another CS. In this case, de-register the repeater before attempting easy registration. For details about the de-registration procedure, refer to "De-registration". R We recommend that you power down any CS that you do not wish to connect to the repeater prior to registration.
1. Linking to Cell Stations 2 Turn on the repeater you want to register by connecting the AC adaptor. The STATUS indicator and the RSSI/ID indicator will turn amber for 2 seconds. 3 When the repeater is unregistered: The STATUS indicator will flash red, and the repeater automatically enters Easy Registration mode. When the repeater is registered: The repeater automatically enters Operation mode. 4 Press and hold down the PROGRAM button for 5 seconds. The STATUS indicator will flash green quickly.
