Placement
To achieve optimum performance for the repeater, it is important to find a good location. Below are some
tips:
Choose a raised position for both the base station and repeater wherever possible.
When positioning the repeater, avoid obstacles that can interfere with radio transmission such as
thick wall and metal structures that may be in the coverage area between the base station and
repeater.
Avoid interference from other electrical appliances such as micro-wave ovens, Hi-Fi equipment,
computers etc.
Keep a minimum of 10 meters between multiple repeaters to avoid coverage areas overlapping.
Do not hide base station/repeater behind furniture etc.
The base station/repeater must be placed where the signal is needed
Note: The LED indicator remains on constantly after the repeater has been switched on. If the LED flashes,
the repeater is too far away from the base station or reception is hindered by obstacles.
Verification Tone
To find the best possible location for the repeater, you may need to try various locations. Place a call and
walk around with the handset to determine the base station’s coverage area. The verification tone allows
you to easily check the extent of the repeater’s coverage area. The tone is audible on the handset during
a call.
To activate the verification tone on the repeater:
Switch off the repeater (disconnect the power adapter).
Switch it on for 1 to 5 seconds and switch it off again.
Switch it on again. The LED indicator on the repeater flashes slowly.
Switch it off again.
Switch it on again.
The verification tone is then activated.
Place a call using the handset to check whether the handset is working in the extended area of the repeater.
If the call is successfully handled by the repeater, you can hear the verification tone from the handset every
few seconds.
To deactivate the verification tone, repeat the above steps.
