Repeater registration
Use the following procedure to register a repeater. Remember that each base station can support
a maximum of six repeaters, and that you can chain-link up to three repeaters. When a repeater is
powered, the repeater immediately attempts to find the base station it is registered to. The
repeater keeps track of the base station to which it is registered.
To avoid signal disruptions, you should register a repeater prior to deploying the repeater.
Procedure
1. Press and hold the Registration button on the front of the base station until the base
station power LED flashes.
2. Press and hold the Registration button on the back of the repeater until the repeater LED
flashes.
When the repeater successfully registers, the repeater LED flashes three times. The
repeater connects to the base station to which it was previously registered, and the
repeater LED changes from flashing to solid, indicating that the repeater is now registered.
If the repeater fails to register with a base station, the repeater LED blinks 10 times and the
repeater returns to its previous registration state, i.e. Searching or Connected if already
registered with a base station, or Unregistered if not registered with a base station.
3. Repeat step 2 for each repeater in the system.
4. Once all of the repeaters have registered, confirm the registration. Turn off the base station
to which the repeaters are registered by disconnecting the Ethernet cable, and then
confirm that the repeaters for that base station enter the Searching mode.

Testing the repeater location
After registering but prior to mounting a repeater, you can test the location to see if the signal from
the base station is sufficient to handle calls. You should perform the test because the repeater
might be too far away from the base, electronic devices might cause an interference, or thick walls
or metal objects might block the signal.
Here are some tips:
• Place the repeater as high as possible, at least six feet off the ground.
• Allow at least 35 feet (10 meters) between repeaters, horizontally and vertically.
• Avoid sources of electrical interference, such as office equipment or microwave ovens.
• Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Avoid things that can interfere with radio signals, such as metal doors, thick walls, screened
rooms, niches, and cupboards.
• Ensure that the wall material can hold the weight of the repeater. Never install a repeater in
damaged or decaying wall material.
