5. Using a suitable implement, hold down the reset button on the second Base Unit, then switch on
the power to the Base Units.
6. After approximately 5 seconds release the reset button at the second Base Unit and after a further
15 seconds, check that the LED indicator on this Base Station is flashing. If it is flashing, you have
successfully set the second Base Station as a Repeater, with the original Base Station as the
Master.
7. Immediately switch off power to the Repeater Base Station.
Notes:
(1)
If the indicator in the Repeater Base Station is not flashing, the procedure has not been suc-
cessful, so you need to repeat steps 4 to 6.
(2)
The indicator on the Master Base Station should be lit constantly, all the time power is applied
.
