Support for Gigaset Repeater

Carry out the following steps:

Switch off the Gigaset Repeater (disconnect the power plug).

Press the registration key on the base station repeatedly or select the relevant menu item until the base station is in registration mode. For more information, please refer to the operating instructions for your base station.

Switch on the Gigaset Repeater (connect the power plug).

The left LED on the Gigaset Repeater flashes continually. After a short while the LED stays on permanently indicating that registration is complete and that the unit is ready for operation.

PLEASE NOTE!

The Gigaset Repeater can be registered independently of the length of an audible registration tone or a display at the base station. If registration is not succesfull, the LED on the Gigaset Repeater will flash continuously. In this case, repeat the procedure.

Before registering the Gigaset Repeater once again (e.g. at a different base station), please reset the Gigaset Repeater beforehand as described below:

Switch off the unit (disconnect the power plug).

Switch on for 1 to 5 seconds and switch it off again.

Switch on for 25 to 35 seconds and switch it off again.

Special setting

Using the verification tone

The Gigaset repeater enables you to switch on a verification tone. With the verification tone the customer is able to establish whether or not the handset is working in the extended area of the Gigaset Repeater. This tone is audible on the activated handset as long as the unit is connected to the Gigaset Repeater. Carry out the procedure described below in order to switch the verification tone on and off:

To activate:

Switch off the unit (disconnect the power plug)

Switch on for 1 to 5 seconds and switch it off again.

Switch on again. If the LED on the unit is flashing slowly, switch it off again.

Switch it on again. The verification tone is then activated.

To deactivate:

Switch off the unit (disconnect the power plug)

Switch on for 1 to 5 seconds and switch it off again.

Switch on again. If the LED on the unit is flashing slowly, switch it off again.

Switch it on again. The verification tone is then deactivated.

Please reset the Gigaset Repeater beforehand as described below:

Switch off the unit (disconnect the power plug).

Switch on for 1 to 5 seconds and switch it off again.

Switch on for 25 to 35 seconds and switch it off again.

The Gigaset Repeater is now ready to be registered again as described above. This is signalled by the LED which flashes intermittently once the power plug is reconnected.

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.

What is the function of the LED display?

There are two green LEDs on the centre front of the housing.

Left LED: registration and operation function
