Registration of the DECT Repeater on the DECT Base Station
The DECT Repeater must be registered on your DECT base station first. This procedure works
basically as an application for an additional handset on the DECT base station.
Depending on the base station, the automatic or manual registration is required. If the auto-
matic registration fails, perform the manual registration.
Due to the wide range of DECT base stations on the market, some problems with the registra-
tion may occur.
Successful registration conditions:
The encryption on your phone must be disabled.
Your phone must be Repeater-compatible. This function may need to be activated
on the phone.
ECO-mode (Power saving mode must be switched off).
Perform the registration near the DECT base station (at least 1 m distance).
During registration, pay attention to the flashes of the DECT Repeater.
A DECT handset is additionally required for manual registration. Ensure also that the
DECT base station connection code is „0000".
After successful registration, separate the DECT Repeater from the power supply
and place it at the desired location. The previous successful registration will not be
lost!
a) Automatic Registration
• The DECT Repeater must not be switched on, pull the mains plug of the DECT Repeater
from the mains socket.
• Enable the registration mode for handsets on your DECT base station. Usually, a button on
the DECT base station is to be pressed for a while. Refer to the operating instructions to your
DECT phone for further information.
• Now connect the DECT Repeater to the power supply and the mains plug to a mains socket.
• The DECT Repeater should not be registered on another base station. In such a case, press
the button on the back of the DECT Repeater for 10-20 seconds, to put it in automatic reg-
istration mode.
• The LED indicator of the DECT Repeater flashes 2x red, makes a pause, flashes again 2x
red, etc.
• After some time the LED indicator of the DECT Repeater should glow permanently green.
The registration process is complete and the DECT Repeater is ready for use.
If the LED indicator still flashes red, perform the registration process again.
For some DECT base stations no automatic registration is possible. In this case,
follow the instructions in the next section „b) Manual Registration".
b) Manual Registration
Therefore, in addition to your DECT base station and the DECT Repeater, also a
featured DECT handset is required. Keep also the operating instructions for your
phone.
Your phone (DECT base station and DECT handset) must be ready for operation and the DECT
handset must be already registered on the DECT base station.
1. Set the DECT Repeater to the registration mode
Hold the button on the back of the DECT Repeater pressed for 2-10 seconds. The LED indica-
tor of the DECT Repeater flashes slowly red.
So, the DECT Repeater is in the registration mode for 5 minutes. If the registration
does not happen during this time, repeat the registration process.
2. Enable the registration mode on your DECT base station
Usually, a button on the DECT base station is to be pressed for a while. Refer to the operating
instructions for your phone.
3. The LED indicator of the DECT Repeater flashes
• If the LED indicator flashes very fast red (without breaks), proceed to step 5.
• If the LED indicator flashes fast red, but with breaks, proceed to step 4.
• If the LED indicator continues flashing only slow red, no signal was detected. In this case
repeat step 2. It helps in some DECT base stations just to turn off the power of the DECT
base station, and then to restart the registration mode (step 2).
4. Registration of the handset
The DECT base station connection code is not set to „0000", however, it must be set for the
DECT Repeater to „0000" again.
• Reset the connection code to „0000". Refer to the operating instructions for your DECT phone.
• Then the handset must be registered on the base station again, even if it was already regis-
tered on the base station.
• Perform the manual registration process for the DECT Repeater again. So, the red LED
indicator in step 3 should blink very fast red (without breaks), so that you can now proceed
to step 5.
5. Repeater number assigning
• You must now assign a Repeater number to the DECT Repeater (2...7).
Each number can be assigned only once. This Repeater number is independent on
the handset number of the registered handsets. Up to 6 repeaters can be registered
on one DECT base station.
• Lift the handset (as if you would have a telephone conversation).
• The red LED indicator on the DECT Repeater should now stop flashing.
• Press a number between 2 and 7 on the handset.
• If the DECT Repeater has accepted the selected number, the green LED indicator on the
DECT Repeater will flash many times. If the selected number was not accepted, it is already
busy and you have to choose a different number.
• Finish the registration, by pressing the button „ „ (star key) on the handset and then discon-
nect (hang up).
• The DECT Repeater is reset. This LED indicator goes out for about 2 seconds, then flashes
short red and after that will light up green.
• With this step the registration of the DECT Repeater is completed and the settings are saved.
• The DECT Repeater can be separated now from the power supply and set to the desired
location. The previous successful registration will not be lost!
If you want to use several DECT Repeater, please note that each Repeater must be individually
registered on the base station, (2-7) get its own Repeater number and that there is a minimum
distance of 10 m between two Repeaters (in case of overlapping reception reception range).
Between the DECT base station and the DECT repeaters a distance of at least 10
metres should be also kept, otherwise it may cause the noise within the transfer
area between the DECT Repeater and the DECT base station during the phone
conversation (the handset switches between DECT repeater(s) and the DECT base
station).
c) Switching the Signal Tone on/off
As soon as the handset connects to the base station via the DECT Repeater (located in the
extended range), a signal tone can be heard in certain intervals of time from the loudspeaker of
the corresponding handset. This tone can or switched on/off.
• To switch on/off the signal tone, hold the button on the back of the DECT Repeater pressed
for more than 20 seconds.
• In normal operation, the Green LED indicates whether the signal tone is on or off:
Green LED indicator lights permanently > tone off
Green LED flashes every 5 seconds > tone on
