Picking the best spot
The best spot for the repeater/
charger is as far from the
base as possible while still
maintaining a good signal,
or near the edge of the
base’s coverage area1 To
find the edge of the
coverage area:
Stand near the base
11
and make a call on the
handset1
While on the call, carry
21
the handset away
from the base towards the general area where you want to put the
charger1
Watch the signal strength icon on the handset1 Make a note where
31
the icon drops from 4 bars to 3 bars1
Continue walking away from the base1 Make a note where the signal
41
strength icon drops from 3 bars to 2 or if you start to hear noise on
the line (which indicates the signal is getting weaker)1
Place the charger anywhere inside the range where the signal
51
strength icon showed 3 bars and the handset had a clear signal with
no noise1
Testing the location
Connect the charger's AC adapter and make sure the
lINk
light
comes on steadily1 If the light flashes, the repeater/charger is not
getting a good signal from the base1 The charger may be too far
away from the base, there may be interference from electronic
devices, or the signal might be blocked by thick walls or metal
objects1 Try moving the charger to another location1
