Repeater Function

Repeat pages Mode allows the LRS Connect Transmitter to receive pages from another LRS transmitter, and 

“retransmit” them to increase the on-site coverage to pagers.
To enable the repeater function ON or OFF.
 

1. Press Setup and enter Password.

 

2. Press 1 (SYSTEM).

 

3. Press F2 (DN) until screen shows 1) Repeat Pages.

 

4. Press 1.

 

5. Press F1 (Yes) to turn on, or F4 (NO) to turn off.

Positioning and Installing the Repeater

 

Note:  The best place to mount your repeater is on a ceiling or wall that is very high. The idea is to get 

the signal as high as possible so it “umbrellas” the guest and thus all pagers can receive it.

The repeater operates at its best when installed at the “fringe” of your area. This means you should get it 

as far from the transmitter as possible but still be able to receive the transmitter’s signal.

 
 

1. Locate a 110V outlet near the selected installation location.

 

2.  Plug the power adapter into the outlet and into the power connector hole on the side of the 

repeater.

 

3.  Ensure that when power is plugged in, the Red RECEIVE light will blink continuously to indicate 

power is on and the unit is operating.

 

4.  Place the paging transmitter in “Range Test Mode” (see transmitter’s operating instructions).

 

5.  Ensure the Red TRANSMIT light periodically alternate flashes on about every 5 seconds.

 

•  If the periodic TRANSMIT flash does not occur, move the repeater closer to the transmitter and 

try again.

 

•  Keep moving the repeater toward the transmitter until the TRANSMIT flash occurs.

 

• After establishing the correct distance, mount the repeater as high as possible
