4. SAFETY
In the event of an electrical hazard, the mains adapter acts as 230V power isolating device.
It should therefore, as a precaution, be installed close to the appliance and be easily accessible.
T o disconnect the device from the primary power source, the mains adapter must be removed
from the 230V AC / 50 Hz socket.
If the mains adapter fails, it must be replaced by an identical model.
If not connected to the mains power , or if there is a mains power failure, telephones that use
cordless handsets will not work.
Y ou will then be unable to make or receive calls in the event of an emergency .
This is why we recommend that you also keep a conventional telephone – one that doesn’t
require a power supply – as a backup.
! Do not use your telephone to notify a gas leak when standing in the vicinity of the leak.
It is recommended that you avoid using this device during electrical storms.
Do not attempt to open the batteries, as they contain chemical substances. In the event of
leakage, avoid contact with the skin, eyes, nose and mouth. In the event of contact, rinse the
affected part for about twenty minutes with running water and seek urgent medical attention.
Clean the product with absorbent paper or a dry cloth and contact your reseller for replacement
batteries.
A TLINKS hereby declares that the Office DECT Repeater conform to the essential
requirements and other applicable provisions of European directive 1999/5/EC.

1.2 How it works?
The DECT repeater lets you extend the coverage area of your telephone system in all
directions, including up and down. When registered to the base, the repeater’s coverage area
overlaps the coverage area of the base, the base can hand-off calls to the repeater as the user
moves from one coverage area to another . When connected to the repeater, the mobile
handset operates in the exactly same way as it does when connected to the base, and the
hand-off from the base to the repeater can be completely invisible to the end user , even during
an active call.
Each base supports up to six repeaters, so you can extend the base coverage in all directions,
including through floors and ceilings.
In addition, the DECT Repeater supports a sequential or "daisy chain" layout to extend
coverage in a single direction. Up to two repeaters can be installed in sequence.
IMPORT ANT: It is possible to roam between the Repeater and the base, however , call
handover during conversation is not always guaranteed.
1.3 Setting up your Repeater
Before installing the repeater , you need to activate the repeater mode on your telephone
system and then register the repeater to the base.
1.3.1 Automatic registration
The repeater seeks out the base and automatically registers to that base.
1. Make sure the repeater is powered off (i.e., the AC power adapter is not connected).
2. Turn on the Repeater mode on the base and then set the base into registration mode.
(Consult the User Manual that comes with your base station for more information).
3. Use the AC adapter to connect the repeater to a power outlet (Do not use a power outlet
controlled by a wall switch). The repeater will register to the telephone base automatically .
Note: If the LED continues to flash in red, try registering the repeater again.
Use ONL Y the power adapter that came with your repeater . A different power adapter may
cause an electrical hazard or damage the repeater .
The repeater is now registered to this base and is ready to use.
Y ou can safely disconnect the power and move the repeater to the selected location, the
repeater will stay registered to the base.
1.3.2 Manual registration (optional)
Y ou can also follow the instructions below to register the repeater manually .
1. Make sure the repeater is powered off (i.e., the AC power adapter is not connected).
2. Turn on the Repeater mode on the base and then set the base into registration mode.
3. Use the AC adapter to connect the repeater to a power outlet.
4. Press and hold the SETUP button for 5 seconds. The repeater will start the registration to the
base.
NOTE: The registration mode of the repeater could last for 30 minutes for your convenience.
1.3.3 De-registration / Factory default
Y ou can also de-register and then register the repeater again when it cannot hand-off the signal
or you want to register it to another base station. Without deregistration, new registration to
another telephone base will overwrite previous base record when the registration is completed.
Follow the instructions below to de-register the repeater:
1. Disconnect the AC power of repeater .
2. Press and hold the SETUP button, then plug in DC power and hold for 5 seconds.
3. The repeater will be de-registered (reset to factory default).
1.4 Installing the Repeater
Y ou need to activate the repeater mode on the base before installing the repeater , and then
register the repeater to the base.
1.4.1 Location
T o get the optimum conditions, the repeater should be placed in a proper location. Y ou can
locate the repeater through the LED indicator’s behaviors.
T o 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 corresponding 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 as well).
Avoid sources of electrical interference, such as hi-fi systems, office equipment or microwave
ovens.
Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight.
Avoid things that can interfere with radio signals, such as metal doors, thick walls, niches
and cupboards.
1.4.2 Map the Base coverage area
T o find the best location for the repeater , you need to determine the base coverage area.
Stand near the base and make a call. Walk away from the base with the handset, and make a
note where the signal becomes weaker . The optimum location for the repeater is as far from the
base as possible while still maintaining a "good" signal, or just inside the location where the
signal became weaker .
1.4.3 T est the location
T o test the location, plug the AC adapter into the repeater , then hold the repeater in the place
where you plan to mount it. The LED should remain on and steady , indicating that the repeater
has a good signal from the base.
1.4.4 Installing the Repeater
1. Hold the repeater in its final location, and mark the center of the top edge.
2. From the edge mark, measure down approximately 1-1/2 inches, and mark the upper screw
location, then move down approximately 2-1/2 inches to mark the lower screw location.
3. At the screw locations, use a 3/16ths drill bit to make two pilot holes approximately one inch
deep.
4. Place the wall anchor into the pilot holes and tap it gently with a hammer until the anchor is
flush with the wall.
5. Insert the mounting screws into the anchor, leaving approximately 1/4 inch space between
the screw head and the wall.
6. Put the wall mount slot on the back of the repeater over the screw heads and slide the
repeater down into place.
IMPORT ANT: Be sure the wall material can hold the weight of the repeater . Never install a
repeater in damaged or decaying wall material.
7. Connect the repeater to the corresponding power outlet.
