Set Up the Repeater
The repeater is not a telephone; it must be registered to a phone base
♦
before using.
Any repeaters that came packaged with a base are already registered
♦
to that base for you.
For instructions on registering repeaters to the base, see page 37.
♦
How it Works
The repeater extends
the range of your base in
all directions, including
up and down. Cordless
handsets automatically
connect to the repeater
or the base, depending
on which signal is stronger.
You can roam anywhere within range
of the base or the repeater(s) and make
and receive calls as usual from your handsets.
Handsets op
♦
erate exactly the same no matter which unit they connect
to.
Usually, you can't tell when a handset switches between the base and
♦
the repeater in the middle of a call.
Your base supports a total of 6 repeaters, including any that were
♦
supplied with your phone.
Repeaters can be up to 3 chain-links (maximum) from the base.
