Picking the best spot
The best spot for the repeater is as far from the base as possible
while still maintaining a good signal, or near the edge of the base’s
coverage area. To find the edge of the coverage area:
Stand near the base
1.
and make a call on
the handset.
While on the call,
2.
carry the handset
away from the base
towards the general
area where you want
to put the repeater.
Watch the signal
3.
strength icon on the
handset. Make a
note where the icon
drops from 4 bars to
3 bars.
Continue walking
4.
away from the base.
Make a note where the signal 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).
Place the repeater anywhere inside the range where the signal
5.
strength icon showed 3 bars and the handset had a clear signal
with no noise.
Testing the location
Connect the repeater's AC adapter and make sure the
lINk
light
comes on and steady. If the light flashes, the repeater
is not getting a good signal. The repeater 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 objects. Try
moving the repeater to another location.
