Connect the Repeater Power Cord
Use the included adapter to connect the
repeater to a regular indoor (240 V AC)
power outlet.
Placing the Repeater
Here are a few tips for placing your
repeater so that you get the clearest
signal and the maximum range:
Place the repeater just inside the base's
cove
rage area, that is, as far from the base as possible where you
still have good reception.
Put the repeater
at least 10 m
away from the base or any other
repeater.
If you place the repeater
on a flat surface, make sure the power
cord doesn't pull on the unit and that people walking by won't
knock it off the surface.
If possible, mount the repe
ater on the wall.
Finding the Base’s Coverage Area
Stand near the base and make a
1.
call on a cordless handset that is
registered to that base.
Continue the call and carry the
2)
handset away from the base.
Make sure you go at least 10
meters.
Make a note where you start
3)
to hear noise on your call (the
signal is getting weaker). You
can use the signal strength
icon on the handset display to
find the best location: make a
note where the icon indicates the signal is getting weaker.
