2. Reconnect the power to the repeater. The LED on the repeater flashes slowly, indicating the
repeater is in registration mode.
The repeater stays in registration mode for five minutes. If you cannot complete the registration in five
minutes, repeat the procedure starting with step 1.
3. Set the base in registration mode. (Consult the owner's manual that came with your base station
for more information.)

The repeater is now registered to this base station. You can repeat the procedure with each repeater
that you want to register to this base, or you can disconnect the power and move the repeater to the
selected location.
The repeater remains registered even if you disconnect the AC adapter or there is a power failure. If you want
to clear the registration (for example, so you can register to a different base), you must reset the repeater.
6.2.1.4 Registration for a Daisy-Chain Layout
Registering the repeaters to operate in a daisy-chain or sequential layout requires network adminis-
trator access and configuration software. Contact your installer or refer to the DTL-RPT-1
Administrator's Guide (provided with the configuration software) for more information.
6.2.1.5 Registering to a Different Base

base. If you want to reset the repeater and clear its registration, follow the steps below:
1. Disconnect the power.
2. Connect the power for one to five seconds, and disconnect it again.
3. Connect the power for 25 ~ 35 seconds.
4. Disconnect the power, and perform the registration procedure with the new base.

6.2.2.1 Finding the Right Location
To get the best operating conditions for the repeater, it is important to place it correctly. Here are a few
tips for placing repeaters:
• Place the repeater as high as possible, but at least six feet above the floor.
• Make sure you have good reception from the base.
• Make sure the location is close to a standard 120 V AC power outlet. Never install electrical cords
across a traffic area: they can create a trip hazard or become damaged and create a fire or electrical
hazard.
• Allow at least 30 feet between repeaters (if you are installing repeaters across multiple floors,
remember to allow 30 feet vertically, also).
• Avoid sources of electrical interference, such as hi-fi systems, 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, niches and
cupboards.
