6.3 Changing Registration
To change the registration (register the repeater to a different base), just
register the repeater to the new base. The repeater automatically erases the
link to the old base when it registers to the new one.

To get the best operating conditions for the repeater, it is important to place it
correctly. Here are a few tips for placing repeaters:

Place the repeater as high as possible, but at least 6 feet off the ground.
 Make sure you have good reception from the base.

Make sure the location is close to a standard 120 V AC power outlet. Never
install electrical cords across a traffic area: they can create a trip hazard or
become damaged and create a fire or electrical hazard.
 Allow at least 35 feet between repeaters (if you are installing repeaters across
multiple floors, remember to allow 35 feet vertically , also).
 Avoid sources of electrical interference, such as hi-fi systems, office equipment
or microwave ovens.
 Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight.

Avoid things that can interfere with radio signals, such as metal doors, thick
walls, niches and cupboards.
7.1 Map the Base’s Coverage Area
To find the best location for the repeater, you need to determine the base
coverage area:
1. Stand near the base and make a call on the handset that is registered to
that base.
2. Continue the call and carry the handset away from the base. Make sure
you travel at least 35 feet (about 10 meters) away from the base.
3. Make a note where you begin hearing noise on the line (the signal is
getting weaker). The best location for the repeater is as far from the base
as possible while still maintaining a good signal, or just inside the
location where the noise became noticeable.

Make sure the repeater is at least 35 feet away from any bases or any other
repeaters (no matter which base they are registered to).
