RTX4002 DECT Repeater
A repeater is used when you need to extend the range of
your cordless DECT telephone to include areas where
reception was previously not available.
All the usual mobile unit functions are supported by the
base station in this extended radio range.
The repeater and base station have wireless connections
with each other, just as the repeater and handset have
wireless connections. Signals are exchanged without the
user hearing or noticing the difference.
[
System with multiple repeaters
Up to 6 repeaters can be registered at a base station. The
number of mobile units to be operated only depends on
the type of the base station installed.
All repeaters must be installed within the base stations
coverage area, as shown in the drawings. It is not
possible to install repeaters in series.
The repeaters can be used to extend the coverage area
in all directions - including up and down (e.g. to cover
several floors in a building).
If the repeaters are placed correctly (overlapping the
coverage area of the base station), you can go from one
area (cell) to the other while speaking on the mobile
unit.
The mobile unit will automatically switch from cell
to cell without this being noticed during the telephone
call.
Before the repeater is installed, it must be registered to
the base station.
The Repeater can be registrated to a basestation in two
ways, automatic or manual registration.

Auto registration
1. Ensure that the repeater is switched off (disconnect
the power plug).
2. Set the base station in registration mode. On most base
stations, the procedure is started by holding down the
"Registration" or "Page" key for several seconds. Consult
your base station user guide for more information.
3. Switch on the Repeater (connect the power plug).
]
4. The LED on the Repeater flashes. After a short while
the LED stays on permanently indicating that registration
is complete and the unit is ready for operation.
Note! If the registration is not immediately successful,
the LED will flash continuously. In this case, repeat
the procedure.
Note! Before reinstalling the Repeater (e.g. at an other
basestation), please reset the Repeater beforehand as
described below:
1) Switch off the unit (disconnect the power plug).
2) Switch on for 1 to 5 seconds and switch off again.
3) Switch on for 25 to 35 seconds and switch it off again.
Now the Repeater is ready for a new auto registration.

Manual registration
The repeater registration procedure varies depending
on the base station installed.
The base station, a mobile unit (handset) and the
repeater must be accessible before registration can be
performed.
If you are connecting more than one repeater, registration
must be performed separately for each repeater.
Preparations
The base station and a mobile unit are ready for
operation, the repeater is not yet connected to the
main supply.
The following procedure is also shown as a quickguide
on the back of this user manual.
1. Set the repeater in registration mode
Insert the repeaters power plug for 1-5 seconds in the
socket and then remove it. Insert it once more and leave
it there.The LED on the repeater flashes slowly after
the start. You now have five minutes to carry out the
registration.
If the procedure is not carried out within this period you
must start over again.
2. Set the base station in registration mode
On most base stations, the procedure is started by holding
down the "Registration" or "Page" key for several
seconds. Consult your base station user guide for more
] information.
3. The LED on the front of the repeater flashes
If the LED flashes very quickly without interruptions
go to step 5. If the LED flashes very quickly with brief
interruptions go to step 4.
4. Registration of the handset
If the base code have been changed, it must be set to
"0000". You must repeat the registration procedure even
if the mobile unit used was already registrated at the
base station, (consult your base station user guide for
more information). Now the LED flashes very quickly
without interruptions.
5. Assign a repeater number
You must now assign a repeater number to the repeater
(selection: 2-7, for up to 6 repeaters).
Please note that each number only can be assigned once,
when using more than one repeater. These numbers are
independent of the mobile unit extension numbers.
Hook off by pressing the 
flashing). Press a number between 2 and 7.
When the repeater has accepted the chosen number, the
LED will flash a corresponding number of times. Accept
the registration by pressing the
]
 - key (hook on).
The repeater is now automatically restarted.
The LED goes off for 2 seconds, flashes for a brief
moment and the remains continuously illuminated.
The registration of the repeater is completed. You can
now disconnect the power and move the repeater to the
selected location (disconnecting the power will not delete
the registration.)
To get the best operation conditions for the repeater, it
is important to place it correctly.
Here are a few tips for placing repeaters.
Choose a raised position with good base station
reception.
When positioning you should avoid obstacles that
can interfere with a radio transmission, such as thick
walls, radiators etc.
You should avoid interference from other electrical
appliances, such as micro-wave ovens, hi-fi
equipment, computers etc. close to an electric
socket.
A distance of minimum 10 meter s hould be observed
when installing two repeaters in an overlapping
reception range.
To find the best possible location for the repeater, you
have to try different locations. Establish a call and walk
around with the handset to determine the base stations
coverage area. You can install the repeater at a location,
in the edge of the coverage area, where you still have
a good connection between the handset and the base
station. A new coverage area will now be available
around the repeater.
Note: The LED must remain on constantly after the
device has been switched on.
If the LED flashes, the repeater is too far away from the
base station or reception is being hindered by thick walls
or metal objects (e.g. radiators)
The verification tone enables you to establish whether or
-key (the LED stops
not the mobile unit is working in the extended area of the
repeater. This tone is audible on the activated mobile unit
as long as the unit is connected to the repeater.
Carry out the procedure described below on your repeater
-key and then the
*
in order to switch the verification tone on and off:
- Switch off the unit (disconnect the power plug)
- Switch on for 1-5 seconds and switch it off again.
- Switch on again. The LED on the unit is flashing
slowly, switch off again.
- Switch it on again. The verification tone is then
activated or deactivated.
Simply wipe the repeater with a damp cloth or
an antistatic wipe.
Never use solvents or a dry cloth (static discharge).
