Pro9 repeaters (Q-P9REP)
If the range needs to be increased you can add up to two Repeaters which, subject to local conditions,
can more than double your headset range.
A repeater is another radio device and is wall mounted like the base station. Its power is fed down the
Cat5 cable which connects the repeater to the base station.
Two repeaters can be connected in a daisy chain format to a base station (as shown below).
For systems subject to FCC regulations, the total number of bases or repeaters in any system must not
exceed 6 units. For example, three bases each with one repeater, or two bases each with 2 repeaters.
1. Putting on a headset walk from the base station towards the area you require more coverage and
note where you lose connection.
2. Set up the repeater in the area where you need further coverage, connecting the Cat5 cable from
the base station to the repeater.
3. Check that you have enough coverage for the additional area and that there’s full coverage in
hand-over zone where you lost range before.
4. Repeat the exercise if you need further increase in range, cabling back the second repeater to the
first repeater.
5. When your repeaters are booting up the LED on the front will flash AMBER, and then default to
solid GREEN in standby mode.
6. When the repeater is transmitting your headset audio, the LED will pulse GREEN.
7. See ‘Trouble shooting’ for further guidance (page 25).
