You can increase the range and sig-
nal strength of the base using a
repeater. You will need to activate
repeater mode. This will terminate
any calls being made via the base at
the time.

After activating or deactivating the
repeater, switch your handset off
and on again (¢ page 27).
Please note
u Eco Mode / Eco Mode+
(¢ page 55) and repeater sup-
port cancel each other out i.e.,

mission setting is deactivated
when repeater mode is acti-
vated.
Protecting against
unauthorised access
Protect the system settings of the
base with a system PIN known only
to yourself. You will need to enter
the system PIN when, for example,
registering/de-registering a handset
to/from the base.

Resetting the system PIN
If you have forgotten your system
PIN, you can reset the base to the
original code 0000:
Disconnect the power cable from
the base. Hold down the registra-
tion/paging key on the base while
reconnecting the power cable to the
base. Hold down the key for at least
5 seconds.
The base has now been reset and
the system PIN set to 0000.
Please note
All handsets are de-registered
and must be re-registered. All set-
tings are reset to the default set-
tings.
