6.2.2.2 Map the Base Coverage Area
To find the best location for the repeater, you need to determine the base coverage area. Stand near
the base and make a call. Walk away from the base with the handset, and make a note where the
signal becomes weaker. The optimum location for the repeater is as far from the base as possible
while still maintaining a good signal, or just inside the location where the signal became weaker.
6.2.2.3 Test the Location
To test the location, plug the AC adapter into the repeater, then hold the repeater in the place where
you plan to mount it. The LED should remain on and steady, indicating that the repeater has a good
signal from the base.
If the LED flashes, the repeater is not getting a good signal. The repeater may be too far away from
the base, there may be interference from electronic devices, or the signal might be blocked by thick
walls or metal objects. Try moving the repeater to another location.
6.2.2.4 Installing the Repeater
Be sure the wall material can hold the weight of the repeater. Never install a
repeater in damaged or decaying wall material.
1. Hold the repeater in its final location, and mark the center of the top edge.
2. From the edge mark, measure down approximately 1-1/2 inches, and mark the screw location.
3. At the screw location, use a 3/16ths drill bit to make a pilot hole approximately one inch deep.
4. Place the wall anchor into the pilot hole and tap it gently with a hammer until the anchor is flush
with the wall.
5. Insert the mounting screw into the anchor, leaving approximately 1/4 inch space between the
screw head and the wall.
6. Put the repeater over the screw head and slide it down into place.
7. Connect the repeater to the 120V AC power outlet.
