Appendix D
Pro9 repeaters - Q-PREP
If the range needs to be increased you can add up to 2 Repeaters which, subject to local conditions,
doubles 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).
Figure19 - Increasing range using up to two Pro9 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 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 the
hand-over zone where you lost range before.
4. Repeat the exercise if you need further increases 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 18).
