Set Up the Repeater
The repeater is not a telephone; it must be registered to a phone
base before using.
Any repeater that came packaged with a base are already
registered to that base for you.
For instructions on registering repeaters to the base, see page
47.
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 operate 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.
