Diverse Repeater
Diverse Repeater ~ 4th Edition ~ 25th April ’01 ~ 3831
4
The Diverse Repeater can be used on
all BT Diverse Base Stations with the
exception of the Diverse 1000. Up to six
Repeaters can be installed on a single
base station and each Repeater can
support up to 2 handsets each. The
registration of Repeaters on the base
station does not reduce the number of
handsets that can be registered to the
base station.
A typical arrangement is shown below
You can operate two handsets in the
reception range of the repeater.
If you wish to operate more than two
handsets you must increase the number
of repeaters for the reception range.
Introduction
IMPORTANT NOTE
It is possible to roam between the repeater
and the base, however, call handover during
conversation is not always guaranteed.
IMPORTANT NOTE
It is not possible to further extend the range
in one direction by registering a second
repeater to the first repeater. All repeaters
must be within range of the base station as
the repeater can only be registered to a base
station and not another repeater.

General
Use only approved Nickel-Cadmium
(NiCad) or Nickel-Metal Hydride
(NiMH) rechargeable AA batteries for
the additional handsets. Never use
other types of rechargeable batteries or
conventional alkaline batteries. Using
such batteries could lead to a short
circuit or destroy the battery casing.
Recommended batteries should have a
power rating of 600m Ah 1.2V. Batteries
are available from the Diverse Helpline
08457 908070.
Only use the power supply included
with the product. Using an unauthorised
power supply will invalidate your
guarantee and may damage the Repeater.
The item number for the mains power
supply is C39280-Z4-C174 formally
C39280-Z4-C67.
The Diverse Repeater operates by
transmitting radio signals. These signals
may cause interference to hearing aids.
This product should not be used near
emergency/intensive care medical
equipment and should not be used by
people with pacemakers.
Diverse Repeater can interfere with other
electrical equipment, such as answering
machines, TV and radio sets, clock
radio/alarms and computers if placed
too close. It is recommended that you
place your Diverse Repeater at least
one metre away from such appliances
to avoid any risk of interference.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
There is a serious risk of explosion and/
or the release of highly toxic chemicals.
Cleaning
The Diverse Repeater should be wiped
with a damp (not wet) cloth or an
antistatic wipe. Do not use a dry cloth
as it could cause a static discharge
resulting in damage to the Repeater.
Environmental
The Diverse Repeater will produce a
certain amount of heat during operation.
Equally additional handsets as well as
the chargers can become warm during
charging. Whilst this is entirely safe,
we advise against placing these products
on antique, veneered or wooden surfaces
as damage may occur.
Do not stand your product on carpets
or other surfaces which generate
fibres, or place it in locations preventing
free flow of air over its surfaces.
Do not use the Diverse Repeater and
handsets in damp, humid conditions
such as bathrooms. Do not expose any
of the equipment or batteries to fire or
water.
There is a slight chance that your phone
could be damaged by an electrical
storm. We recommend that you unplug
your Diverse from the mains power and
telephone line socket during storms.

•Press the Phone button. If the
handset is in communication via the
Repeater.
(a) If the Repeater confidence tone
was switched on during
registration then you should hear
a beep at 2 second intervals.
(b) You should hear dial tone
through the earpiece.
NOTE
If you switch off a handset (or remove its
batteries) or take it out of the reception range
of both Repeater and base station the above
step will need to be repeated for that handset.
This does not apply if using a Diverse ISDN.
NOTE
Blind spots (where signal is weak) can
cause loss of signal. Avoiding blind spots
will reduce the risk of losing a call and
the necessity to re-introduce the handset to
the Repeater.
PLEASE NOTE
If the Repeater is switched off, the above
procedure will need to be repeated for all
handsets.
•Plug the Power Adaptor into the
mains socket.
•Switch on the mains power. The
Repeater LED should light up then
after about 5 seconds the LED will
flash off and on several times after
which it should remain permanently
on. If the LED still continues
flashing it indicates either a poor
reception from the base station (too
far away) or it was not registered
properly with the base station.
•Ensure all your handsets have been
registered to the same base station
as the Repeater.
•Turn the Repeater confidence tones
on/off as required (see page 14).
•Switch on each of your handsets
(one at a time) within the Repeater
reception area, outside the base
reception area. The handsets should
bring up their idle screen after a few
seconds of searching for a signal.
NOTE
If using more than one Repeater on a base
station you should ensure the Repeaters are
placed at least 10 metres apart.

A Repeater can support up to two
handsets simultaneously to make or
receive calls. If you try to use a third
handset to make an internal/external
call via the Repeater whilst two
handsets are using it, the call will fail.
It may, however, still be possible for a
third handset to make a call if it is near
the main base station. (The number of
simultaneous internal/external calls
will vary according to the type of base
station you use, please refer to the base
station user guide.)

The Repeater has the option to provide
a confidence signal (a confirmation
beep every 2 seconds) which sounds
when moving from the base station
area to the repeater area.
The default setting for the confidence
signal is OFF.
It is suggested that the confidence tone
is switched ON to aid installation and to
get an idea of the base and Repeater
reception areas.
Before starting this procedure the
Repeater’s power adaptor must be
connected to the Repeater and the
mains socket, but switched OFF at the
mains socket.
At the Repeater:
•Switch the power to the Repeater
ON for between 1 to 5 seconds then
switch it OFF.
•Switch the power to the Repeater
ON again and wait for the LED on
the Repeater to slowly flash ON and
OFF (see note).
•Switch the power to the Repeater
OFF then ON again (see note). If the
confidence tone was off it should
now be on and if the confidence tone
was on it should now be off.
Using your Diverse Repeater
To turn the Re eater’s
confidence tone on and off
NOTE
If the LED did not flash on and off you will
have to repeat the above procedure again.
WARNING
In steps 2 and 3 you must keep an eye
on the time when the power was turned on
while waiting for the LED to slowly flash
on and off. If you turn off the power after
it has been on for between 25 and
35 seconds you will reset the Repeater.
If this happens you will need to re-register
the Repeater to the base again.
Before re-installing the Repeater, it
needs to be reset. Before starting,
make sure the Repeater’s power
adaptor is connected to the Repeater
and the mains socket, but switched off
at the mains.
