Hardware preparation and installation
• Ensure that a standard 120V AC wall outlet is within reach of the repeater.
If you are installing multiple repeaters, perform the following test on each repeater.
Danger:
Never install electrical cords across traffic areas where they cause a trip hazard. If the cords
are damaged, they can create fire or electrical hazards.
Procedure
1. Plug the repeater's AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
2. Using a handset, perform a site survey to determine a location with adequate signal
strength to support the repeater.
The signal strength should be at least 22 and error free. See
page 41. If the signal strength or quality is too low, choose a location closer to the base
station or linked repeater, or one with less obstruction.
3. Hold the repeater in the place where you plan to mount it.
• If the repeater LED remains on and steady, the repeater is receiving a good signal from
the base. You can mount the repeater in that location.
• If the repeater LED flashes, the repeater is not receiving a good signal from the base.
Move the repeater to another location and repeat the test. If problems persist, ensure
that the repeater registers to the same base station as the handset used for the signal
strength survey.

Mounting repeaters
You can mount the repeater on a wall or ceiling. Determine the following when choosing a location
to mount the repeater:
• A location that is higher than cubicle wall height provides better coverage.
• The repeater power supply cord is 2 metres (78 in) long, so you should mount the repeater
within 2 metres (78 in) of an outlet.
Beware of metal surfaces or concrete thickness greater than 3 feet (1 meter) that might cause
signal interference.
Note that a repeater must be no closer than 35 feet (10 meters) from the base station or another
repeater on the same base station. Also, the repeater must be no closer than 17 feet (5 meters)
from other DECT equipment.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have the necessary screwdriver to use with the two mounting screws supplied
with the repeater.
Refer to the following diagram to determine the required mounting space for the repeater, which is
15 cm (6 in) by 11.4 cm (4.5 in).
