Tips on siting

Installing

Before you start to register the units, install the Gigaset Repeater in close proximity to the base station and to a power supply point. If a Gigaset Repeater is already in use, it must be switched on and positioned next to the base station before registration can commence.

 

Once you have registered your Gigaset Repeater you can install it where you would like to extend the reception range of your handsets. However, you must ensure that there is a power point at the place of installation and that the LED remains on constantly after the device has been switched on.

 

If the LED flashes, the Gigaset Repeater is too far away from the base station or reception is being hindered by thick walls or metal objects for example (e.g. radiators).

 

To help you find a suitable site for the Gigaset Repeater, use a portable handset to find a location that is still within range of the base. (the out of range tone should not sound) If your portable handset goes out of range at the desired location, then that location is too far from the base station.

 

To operate a handset for the first time in the extended Gigaset Repeater area, switch off the handset within the new reception range of the Gigaset Repeater, but outside the reception range of the base station and then switch it back on again.

 

NOTE: If you are using more than one Gigaset Repeater in the area of your base station, you must keep the Gigaset Repeaters at least 10m apart.
