If Your Range Extender . . .
• will not respond, make sure the outlet it is plugged into actually has power.
• frequently goes to Off Mesh, move the Range Extender closer to the Base Station, or add an additional Home Heartbeat Range Extender.
Plug in
CARRY the Range Extender and the
Home Key to the wall outlet where
you want to place it. Choose an
outlet that is not controlled with a
wall switch.
PLUG the Range Extender into the wall outlet.
The green light on the front will blink quickly
several times.
Range Extender
The Awareness settings let you choose to have Home Heartbeat alert
you if the Range Extender has lost its connection with the system
(Off Mesh), or has a poor, okay, or good connection.
Good Mesh is the strongest and indicates a high quality signal
between the Base Station and the Range Extender. Okay Mesh
and Poor Mesh indicate a connection of varying degree. Off
Mesh is indicated when the Range Extender has lost the connection
with the Base Station. If the Range Extender loses its Good Mesh
frequently, try an alternate location or extra Range Extender to help
maintain a good connection.

Use
After the Range Extender is joined to the
system, the green light will be steady. If the
light blinks slowly, it means that the unit has
lost the connection to the Base Station and
its status will change to Off Mesh.
The Range Extender will try to re-establish a
connection with the Base Station, but if it is unable to, or if
the Range Extender frequently loses its connection, try an
alternate location and repeat Steps 1 and 2. When a device
is communicating through the Range Extender, the green light
on the front will blink rapidly.
Set up
After the light stops blinking, CLICK the
thumbwheel to wake the Home Key if it
is asleep, then SLIDE the Home Key
into the channel on the top of the sensor.
The Home Key screen should say:
