base. Make sure no other bases in range are in registration mode. If more than one base is in
registration mode at the same time, you cannot control which base the repeaters register to.
Before you start the registration process, be sure you have:
• A working base
• A working handset registered to that base
• Any repeaters you want to register to that base (you must complete the registration process
separately for each repeater).
• At least one of the AC adapters supplied with the repeaters. If you have multiple repeaters to
register, you can power up one repeater, register it, power it off, and then use that AC adapter for
the next repeater. The repeater remains registered to the base, even if power is disconnected.
Use ONLY the power adapter that came with the repeater. A different adapter may cause an electrical
hazard, or damage the repeater.
6.3.4.2 Registration
1. Press and hold the registration button on the base until the Power LED on the base begins to
blink.
2. On the back of the repeater, press and hold the registration button until the repeater LED on the
front settles into a slow blinking pattern. The repeater is now in registration mode.
3. Release the button on the repeater and wait for the LEDs on the repeater and base to stop
blinking and remain steady on (this can take about 60 seconds).

4. The repeater is now registered to this base and is ready to use. You can safely disconnect the
power and move the repeater to the selected location.; the repeater will stay registered to the
base even if you disconnect the AC adapter, or there is a power failure.
6.3.4.3 Changing Registration
To change the registration (register the repeater to a different base), just register the repeater to the
new base. The repeater automatically erases the link to the old base when it registers to the new one.

6.3.5 Positioning the Repeater(s)

To get the best operating conditions for the repeater, it is important to place it correctly. Here are a few
tips for placing repeaters:
• Place the repeater as high as possible, but at least 6 feet off the ground.
• Make sure you have good reception from the base.
• Make sure the location is close to a standard 120 V AC power outlet. Never install electrical cords
across a traffic area: they can create a trip hazard or become damaged and create a fire or
electrical hazard.
• Allow at least 35 feet between repeaters (if you are installing repeaters across multiple floors,
remember to allow 35 feet vertically , also).
• Avoid sources of electrical interference, such as hi-fi systems, office equipment or microwave ovens.
• Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight.

Registering the repeater again.
• Disconnect the repeater's AC adapter and wait about 10 seconds. Reconnect the adapt-
er and try these procedures again.
• Checking that only one repeater is in registration mode. Only one repeater can be regis-
tered at a time.
• Plugging the adapter into a different outlet.
