Set Up the Repeater
• The repeater is not a telephone; it must be registered to a phone base
before using.
• Any repeater that came packaged with a base are already registered to
that base for you.
• For instructions on registering repeaters to the base, see page 49.
How it Works
The repeater extends the
range of your base in all
directions, including up and
down. Cordless handsets
automatically connect to
the repeater or the base,
depending on which signal
is stronger. You can roam
anywhere within range of the
base or the repeater(s) and
make and receive calls as
usual from your handsets.
• Handsets operate exactly the same no matter which unit they connect
to.
• Usually, you can't tell when a handset switches between the base and
the repeater in the middle of a call.
• Your base supports a total of 6 repeaters, including any that were
supplied with your phone.
• Repeaters can be up to 3 chain-links (maximum) from the base.
